摘要
Two-dimensional thermosolutal convection with no-slip boundary conditions is studied using numerical simulations in a periodic domain. The domain is large enough to follow the evolution of phase instabilities of fully nonlinear traveling waves. In the parameter regime studied these instabilities evolve, without loss of phase or hysteresis, into a series of confined states or pulses characterized by locally enhanced heat and solute transport. The wavelength and phase velocity of the traveling rolls within a pulse differ substantially from those in the background. The pulses drift in the same direction as the convection rolls on which they ride but more slowly, and are characterized by an exponential leading front and an oscillatory trailing end. Multiple, apparently stable, states are found for identical parameter values. The qualitative properties of the pulses are in good agreement with the predictions of a third-order phase equation which accounts for the relation between wave number and phase velocity, the oscillatory tails and the multiplicity of states. These properties of the pulses are shown to be a consequence of Shil'nikov dynamics in the spatial domain.
