Hydrodynamics of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Equation in Two Dimensions

Year: 1999

Type: article

Abstract: The large scale properties of spatiotemporal chaos in the 2D Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation are studied using an explicit coarse-graining scheme. A set of intermediate equations are obtained which describe interactions between the small scale structures and the hydrodynamic degrees of freedom. Possible forms of the effective large scale hydrodynamics are constructed and examined. Although a number of different universality classes are allowed by symmetry, numerical results support the simplest scenario, that being the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class.
