This book was released on 1995-01-20 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop, upon which this book is based, was to bring together experimentalists and theorists from many different fields, ranging from applied mathematics to materials science, but unified by their intrigue with nonlinear phenomena, in search of a deeper understanding of patterns in complex systems. To meet this goal, the participants made the effort to build bridges across canonical disciplinary boundaries by sharing what they thought was significant and relevant in search of the “truly significant simplicity of the basic laws of nature embedded in the amazing complexity of natural phenomena.” Spatio-Temporal Patterns in Nonequilibrium Complex Systems is one of the most exciting and fastest-growing branches of physics that impacts fields as diverse as new technologies and processes, economics and biology. Virtually every structure in our world, including ourselves, can be considered the result of a long sequence of successive symmetry-breaking instabilities due to nonlinear processes under nonequilibrium conditions of a complex system. While a scientific description of the spontaneous appearance of patterns in nature was first made by Johannes Kepler (1611), it has only been during the past twenty years that pattern formation, epitomized by the beautiful snowflakes that Kepler studied, has emerged as a science. Concepts and methods resulting from this dynamic new field will surely influence future developments in many disciplines.Complex systems, as studied in this book, are a good first step toward a description of the variety of phenomena included under the rubric “physics of complex systems.” Even the simplest of those presented here, liquid crystals, is still complex, but provides hints of essential ingredients needed to forge a fundamental understanding of nonequilibrium, nonlinear processes in the large. Fluid dynamics and turbulence, interface motion during solidification, autocatalytic chemical reactions, and pattern formation in biological systems play similar roles in other systems far from equilibrium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatio-temporal patterns appear almost everywhere in nature, and their description and understanding still raise important and basic questions. However, if one looks back 20 or 30 years, definite progress has been made in the modeling of insta bilities, analysis of the dynamics in their vicinity, pattern formation and stability, quantitative experimental and numerical analysis of patterns, and so on. Universal behaviors of complex systems close to instabilities have been determined, leading to the wide interdisciplinarity of a field that is now referred to as nonlinear science or science of complexity, and in which initial concepts of dissipative structures or synergetics are deeply rooted. In pioneering domains related to hydrodynamics or chemical instabilities, the interactions between experimentalists and theoreticians, sometimes on a daily basis, have been a key to progress. Everyone in the field praises the role played by the interactions and permanent feedbacks between ex perimental, numerical, and analytical studies in the achievements obtained during these years. Many aspects of convective patterns in normal fluids, binary mixtures or liquid crystals are now understood and described in this framework. The generic pres ence of defects in extended systems is now well established and has induced new developments in the physics of laser with large Fresnel numbers. Last but not least, almost 40 years after his celebrated paper, Turing structures have finally been ob tained in real-life chemical reactors, triggering anew intense activity in the field of reaction-diffusion systems.

This book was released on 2004-03-31 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contents of this book correspond to Sessions VII and VIII of the International Workshop on Instabilities and Nonequilibrium Structures which took place in Viña del Mar, Chile, in December 1997 and December 1999, respectively. Part I is devoted to self-contained courses. Three courses are related to new developments in Bose-Einstein condensation: the first one by Robert Graham studies the classical dynamics of excitations of Bose condensates in anisotropic traps, the second by Marc Etienne Brachet refers to the bifurcations arising in attractive Bose-Einstein condensates and superfluid helium and the third course by André Verbeure is a pedagogical introduction to the subject with special emphasis on first principles and rigorous results. Part I is completed by two courses given by Michel Moreau: the first one on diffusion limited reactions of particles with fluctuating activity and the second on the phase boundary dynamics in a one dimensional nonequilibrium lattice gas. Part II includes a selection of invited seminars at both Workshops.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of macroscopic waves and patterns developing from chemical reaction coupling with diffusion was presented, apparently for the first time, at the Main Meeting of the Deutsche Bunsengesellschaft fur Angewandte Physikalische Chemie, held in Dresden, Germany from May 21 to 24, 1906. Robert Luther, Director of the Physical Chemistry Laboratory in Leipzig, read his paper on the discovery and analysis of propagating reaction-diffusion fronts in autocatalytic chemical reactions [1, 2]. He presented an equation for the velocity of these new waves, V = a(KDC)1/2, and asserted that they might have features in common with propagating action potentials in nerve cell axons. During the discussion period, a skeptic in the audience voiced his objections to this notion. It was none other than the great physical chemist Walther Nernst, who believed that nerve impulse propagation was far too rapid to be akin to the propagating fronts. He was also not willing to accept Luther's wave velocity equation without a derivation. Luther stood his ground, saying his equation was "a simple consequence of the corresponding differential equation. " He described several different autocatalytic reactions that exhibit propagating fronts (recommending gelling the solution to prevent convection) and even presented a demonstration: the autocatalytic permanganate oxidation of oxalate was carried out in a test tube with the image of the front projected onto a screen for the audience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last 20 years the study of nonlinear nonequilibrium phenomena in spa tially extended systems, with particular emphasis on pattern-forming phenomena, has been one of the very active areas in physics, exhibiting interesting ramifi cations into other sciences. During this time the study of the "classic" systems, like Rayleigh-Benard convection and Taylor vortex flow in simple fluids, has also been supplemented by the study of more complex systems. Here liquid crystals have played, and are still playing, a major role. One might say that liquid crystals provide just the right amount and right kind of complexity. They are full of non linearities and give rise to new symmetry classes, which are sometimes actually simpler to deal with qualitatively, but they still allow a quantitative description of experiments in many cases. In fact one of the attractions of the field is the close contact between experimentalists and theorists. Hydrodynamic instabilities in liquid crystals had already experienced a period of intense study in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but at that time neither the ex perimental and theoretical tools nor the concepts had been developed sufficiently far to address the questions that have since been found to be of particular interest. The renewed interest is also evidenced by the fact that a new series of workshops has evolved. The first one took place in 1989 in Bayreuth and united participants from almost all groups working in pattern formation in liquid crystals.
