Abstract
The transition to spatiotemporal chaos in the neighborhood of a codimension-two point observed in the Taylor-Dean system is investigated. The initial instability is to stationary Dean vortex flow, which becomes unstable to a drift instability, followed by a wavelength-halving instability. This sequence of transitions may be explained in terms of the interaction between the first and second spatial harmonics of the basic pattern.
