17. Squares at onset are observed in particular in RBC in the presence of bounding plates with finite heat conductivity, consistent with the theory (see, e.g., Ref. 16). The recently observed square patterns with a subsequent (secondary) transition to rolls have been found hi Benard-Marangoni convection (Ref. 17) and are at variance with the theoretical prediction of subcritical hexagons at threshold (Ref. 18). For other experimental systems see Ref. 19.
