Jánosi<br/>Laboratory experiments are reported in an immiscible two-fluid system, where thermal convection is initiated by heating at the bottom and cooling at the top. The lava-lamp regime is characterized by a robust periodic exchange process where warm blobs rise from the bottom, attach to the top surface f...<br/>[Phys. Rev.

Hochstrate, J. Abshagen, and G. Pfister<br/>A Hopf bifurcation with translational invariance has been widely considered as an appropriate model for the appearance of spiral vortices in counter-rotating Taylor-Couette flow. Our experimental work demonstrates that flow conditions close to the axial boundaries are responsible for the type of bif...<br/><img src="http://prola.aps.org/graphics/rapid30x30.gif" width="30" height="30" alt="Rapid Communication"/><br/>[Phys.
