Parametric Excitation, Localization and Synchronization in Nonlinear Hydrodynamical Systems

Abstract

The dissertation contains 4 original chapters: 1) Parametric excitation of Soret-driven convection of binary mixture in a horizontal porous layer. 2) Soret-driven convection in a horizontal porous layer from a heat or concentration source. 3) Localization of convective flows under randomly inhomogeneous heating. 4) Synchrony of nonlinear systems driven by common noise.
