Codimension Two Local Analysis of Spherical Bénard Convection

  • Chapter
Dynamics, Bifurcation and Symmetry

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 437))

Abstract

Bifurcation of planforms in spherical Rayleigh-Bénard convection is studied by direct center manifold reduction of the Boussinesq equations. Codimension two local analysis of the reduced bifurcation equations is then used to classify the symmetry and stability of steady-state patterns near the onset of instability.
