Transition between spiral and target states in Rayleigh-Bénard convection

Rayleigh-Benard convection in SF6 near its thermodynamic critical point resulted in a continuous transition between states containing many spirals and many targets. This form of convection is generally considered a paradigm for pattern formation under nonequilibrium conditions. The formation of hexa...
