Abstract
In Benard-Marangoni convection in a square vessel, of small aspect rat io, a sequence of bifurcations is observed as control parameters are s lightly changed. Some of the emerging patterns are stationary and othe rs are oscillatory in nature. The stationary patterns break the symmet ry and the oscillatory ones can be classified in three kinds. We show that this dynamics can be explained assuming that the system is close to a Takens-Bogdanov bifurcation.
