Penta-hepta defect motion in hexagonal patterns.
The structure and dynamics of penta-hepta defects (PHD’s) in hexagonal patterns are studied in the framework of coupled amplitude equations for the underlying plane waves. An analytical solution for the phase field of moving PHD is found in the far field, which generalizes the static solution due to Pismen and Nepomnyashchy. The mobility tensor of the PHD is calculated using a combined analytic...
متن کاملPenta-hepta defect chaos in a model for rotating hexagonal convection.
In a model for rotating non-Boussinesq convection with mean flow, we identify a regime of spatiotemporal chaos that is based on a hexagonal planform and is sustained by the induced nucleation of dislocations by penta-hepta defects. The probability distribution function for the number of defects deviates substantially from the usually observed Poisson-type distribution. It implies strong correla...

متن کاملInduced Defect Nucleation and Side-Band Instabilities in Hexagons with Rotation and Mean flow
The combined effect of mean flow and rotation on hexagonal patterns is investigated using Ginzburg-Landau equations that include nonlinear gradient terms as well as the nonlocal coupling provided by the mean flow. Long-wave and short-wave side-band instabilities are determined. Due to the nonlinear gradient terms and enhanced by the mean flow, the penta-hepta defects can become unstable to the ...
متن کاملEvolution of hexagonal patterns from controlled initial conditions in a Bénard-Marangoni convection experiment.
We report quantitative measurements of both wave number selection and defect motion in nonequilibrium hexagonal patterns. A novel optical technique ("thermal laser writing") is used to imprint initial patterns with selected characteristics in a Bénard-Marangoni convection experiment. Initial patterns of ideal hexagons are imposed to determine the band of stable pattern wave numbers while initia...
