(TB/EB) 98765 4321 springeronline.com Preface On March 15, 1901, Henri B´enard defended his thesis entitled “Les Tourbillons cellulaires dans une nappe liquide propageant de la chaleur par convection en r´egime permanent”1 atthe University of Paris, Sorbonne. Theresultscontained inthisthesishavebeenattheoriginofrecentintensiveresearchactivitiesoncel- lularstructuresobservedinmanyphysicochemicalsystemsfarfromequilibrium: instabilities, spatio-temporal patterns, chaos, and turbulence. The French Physical Society organized a scientific meeting to commemorate thecentenary of B´enard’sthesis,attheEcoleSup´erieuredePhysiqueetChimie Industrielles de Paris (ESPCI). This meeting, which gathered approximately one hundred scientists and graduate students working in nonlinear science, was honoredbythepresenceofthedirectoroftheESPCI,ProfessorPierre-Gillesde Gennes, Nobel laureate in physics (1991), who gave the opening talk. At the conference, lectures were given by internationally recognized scholars who have contributed to the development of B´enard’s work: J.E. Wesfreid, P. Manneville,Y.Pomeau,M.Velarde,J.Gollub,M.Provansal,G.Nicolis,B.Cas- taing,andP.Coullet.Apostersessionandaroundtableonfurtherdevelopments in nonlinear physics were organized. In the present book, we have extended the list of contributors in order to cover all the aspects involved with B´enard’s work, with a main focus on ther- mal convection, on B´enard–Marangoni instability and on B´enard–von Karman instability. WewouldliketothankDr.HansKoelschfromSpringerforthepublicationof this monography in the Springer Tracts in Modern Physics series. We acknowl- edge a critical reading by C.D. Mitescu and a very helpful technical assistance from Olivier Crumeyrolle.
