New trends in nonlinear dynamics and pattern-forming phenomena. The geometry of nonequilibrium. Proceedings of a NATO advanced research workshop, held August 2-12, 1988, in Cargèse, France. (English) Zbl 0742.76003

[The articles of this volume will not be indexed individually.]
The proceedings include papers (the total number is 48) from various areas of physics and they review and explore new ideas regarding the organization of systems driven far from equilibrium. The main topics of interest include pattern formation in chemical systems, materials and convection, travelling waves in binary fluids and liquid crystals, defects and their role in the disorganization of structures, spatio- temporal intermittency, instabilities and large-scale vortices in open flows, the mathematics of nonequilibrium systems, turbulence.
