Title: Exotic behavior of hexagonal patterns in Faraday waves * Oberseminar Nichtlineare Dynamik

Time: Mon, Jan 28, 2013, 4pm

Place: bldg 28, room 0.104

Abstract:
Although standing waves on a vertically oscillated fluid layer were first described by Faraday in 1831, the first numerical simulation of Faraday waves were carried out only in 2009. The simulations reproduce the square and hexagonal patterns seen in experiment. However, the hexagonal patterns do not persist, but are replaced by an alternating cycle between patterns we call beaded stripes and quasi-hexagons. Is this cycle heteroclinic? Is the behavior generic in a small-aspect-ratio domain?
