Dissipative Solitons in Binary Fluid Convection
نویسندگان
چکیده
A horizontal layer containing a miscible mixture of two fluids can produce dissipative solitons when heated from below. The physics of the system is described, and dissipative solitons are computed using numerical continuation for three distinct sets of experimentally realizable parameter values. The stability of the solutions is investigated using direct numerical integration in time and related to the stability properties of the competing periodic state.

Heating of the solar corona by dissipative Alfvén solitons.
Solar photospheric convection drives myriads of dissipative Alfvén solitons (hereinafter called alfvenons) capable of accelerating electrons and ions to energies of hundreds of keV and producing the x-ray corona. Alfvenons are exact solutions of two-fluid equations for a collisionless plasma and represent natural accelerators for conversion of the electromagnetic energy flux driven by convectiv...
متن کاملSoret and chemical reaction effects on a three-dimensional MHD convective flow of dissipative fluid along an infinite vertical porous plate
An analytical study was performed to study effects of thermo-diffusion and chemical reactions on a three-dimensional MHD mixed convective flow of dissipative fluid along an infinite vertical porous plate with transverse sinusoidal suction velocity. The parabolic partial differential equations governing the fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer were solved using perturbation technique and...
متن کاملDissipative dynamics of matter-wave solitons in a nonlinear optical lattice
Dynamics and stability of solitons in two-dimensional 2D Bose-Einstein condensates BEC , with onedimensional 1D conservative plus dissipative nonlinear optical lattices, are investigated. In the case of focusing media with attractive atomic systems , the collapse of the wave packet is arrested by the dissipative periodic nonlinearity. The adiabatic variation of the background scattering length ...
متن کاملDissipative Solitons in Pattern-forming Nonlinear Optical Systems: Cavity Solitons and Feedback Solitons
Many dissipative optical systems support patterns. Dissipative solitons are generally found where a pattern coexists with a stable unpatterned state. We consider such phenomena in driven optical cavities containing a nonlinear medium (cavity solitons) and rather similar phenomena (feedback solitons) where a driven nonlinear optical medium is in front of a single feedback mirror. The history, th...
متن کاملEmergence of Competition between Different Dissipative Structures for the Same Free Energy Source
In this paper, we explore the emergence and direct interaction of two different types of dissipative structure in a single system: self-replicating chemical spot patterns and buoyancyinduced convection rolls. A new Lattice Boltzmann Model is developed, capable of simulating fluid flow, heat transport, and thermal chemical reactions, all within a simple, efficient framework. We report on a first...
