Abstract
We present experimental results for pattern formation in Rayleigh-Be?nard
convection of a fluid with a Prandtl number σ ? 4. We find that the spiral-
defect-chaos (SDC) attractor which exists for σ ? 1 has become unstable.
Gradually increasing the temperature difference ?T from below to well above
its critical value ?Tc no longer leads to SDC. A sudden jump of ?T from below
to above ?Tc causes convection to grow from thermal fluctuations and does
yield SDC. However, the SDC is a transient; it coarsens and forms a single
cell-filling spiral which then drifts toward the cell wall and disappears.

Rayleigh-Be?nard convection (RBC) occurs in a shallow horizontal layer of a fluid heated
from below when the temperature difference ?T across the layer exceeds a critical value ?Tc.
The velocity fields which form above ?Tc have long been used as an experimental testing
ground for theories of pattern formation in nonlinear systems. [1] The phenomena which
occur depend upon the Prandtl number σ = ν/κ, the dimensionless ratio of the kinematic
viscosity ν to the thermal diffusivity κ. A fascinating recent discovery in RBC is that of
spiral-defect chaos (SDC) for σ ? 1. [2] It consists of patches of rotating convection-roll
spirals and of other defects, and occurs for ? ≡ ?T/?Tc ? 1 ?s 0. The spirals are
coherent structures with a typical diameter of a few roll wavelengths. They can be right-
or left-handed, single- or multi-armed, and appear and disappear irregularly in time and
space. SDC has since been found in numerical solutions of mo
