Pattern formation and regularized phase equation — •Nicole Rinke and Rudolf Friedrich — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Wesftälische Wilhelms-Universität, Wilhelm-Klemm-Str. 9, 48149 Münster, Germany

The phase equation of Cross and Newell [1] is used to study long wavelength instabilities in pattern forming systems like Rayleigh Bénard convection. Recently, a regularized version of this equation has been considered by Ercolani and Newell [2], which also allows the description of defects. We shall present results of a numerical investigation of these equations and discuss possible implications for a geometric description of patterns in nonequilibrium systems. [1] M.C. Cross and P.C.
