Parametric Excitation, Localization and Synchronization in Nonlinear Hydrodynamical Systems

The dissertation contains 4 original chapters:

1. Parametric excitation of Soret-driven convection of binary mixture in a horizontal porous layer.
2. Soret-driven convection in a horizontal porous layer from a heat or concentration source.
3. Localization of convective flows under randomly inhomogeneous heating.
4. Synchrony of nonlinear systems driven by common noise.
