Noise-induced synchronization of oscillatory convection and its optimization

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We investigate common-noise-induced phase synchronization between uncoupled identical Hele-Shaw cells exhibiting oscillatory convection. Using the phase description method for oscillatory convection, we demonstrate that the uncoupled systems of oscillatory Hele-Shaw convection can exhibit in-phase synchronization when driven by weak common noise. We derive the Lyapunov exponent determining the relaxation time for the synchronization, and develop a method for obtaining the optimal spatial pattern of the common noise to achieve synchronization. The theoretical results are confirmed by direct numerical simulations.
