Collisions of localized patterns in a nonvariational Swift-Hohenberg equation
Published in Physical Review E, 2023
The cubic-quintic Swift-Hohenberg equation (SH35) has been proposed as an order parameter description of several convective systems with reflection symmetry in the layer midplane, including binary fluid convection. We use numerical continuation, together with extensive direct numerical simulations (DNSs), to study SH35 with an additional nonvariational quadratic term to model the effects of breaking the midplane reflection symmetry.
