The onset of convection for spherically invariant Rayleigh-Bénard fluid flow is driven by marginal modes associated with spherical harmonics of a certain degree $\ell$, which depends upon the aspect ratio of the spherical shell. At certain critical values of the aspect ratio, marginal modes of degrees $\ell$ and $\ell+1$ coexist. Initially...

The onset of convection for spherically invariant Rayleigh–Bénard fluid flow is driven by marginal modes associated with spherical harmonics of a certain degree , which depends upon the aspect ratio of the spherical shell. At certain critical values of the aspect ratio, marginal modes of degrees and coexist. Initially motivated by an experiment...
