Topic
Spatially Localized Structures
Speakers
Details
Spatially localized structures occur widely across the physical
sciences. Classic examples include localized buckling of slender
structures, localized oscillations in vertically vibrated granular
media (oscillons) and localized convection in fluid dynamics
(convectons). In this talk I will describe the basic mathematics – and
the physics – behind the formation of these often unexpected
structures, with a view to providing a unified picture of their origin
and properties.
