Coupling of the thermodynamical fluxes and forces Direct effects : viscosity, Fourier's, Fick's, Ohm's laws Crossed effects: thermodiffusion, thermoelectricity Self-organization far from equilibrium Notion of stability of a flow, transitions in fluids Thermoconvective instability (Rayleigh-Bénard-Marangoni instability), linear and non linear approaches, self-organization in fluids, competition between different geometrical patterns Genericity of self-organization phenomena Reaction-diffusion equations : application in chemistry (Belousov-Zhabotinsky), Turing instability, morphogenesis Introduction to the study of dynamical systems elementary bifurcations transitions to chaos Course objective :   Study of Classical Irreversible Thermodynamics as developped by Onsager and Prigogine. Analysis of some systems showing bifurcations and self-organization far from equilibrium. Workshops :   The exercices consist in a numerical analysis of a self-organizing system.
