Abstract
It is shown that a coupled map model for open flow may exhibit spatial chaos and spatial quasiperiodicity with temporal periodicity. The locations of these patterns, which cover a substantial part of parameter space, are indicated in a comprehensive phase diagram. In order to analyze the encountered phenomena, a novel class of spatial maps is introduced which is very efficient in accurately reproducing the original spatial patterns. It is found that temporally period one spatial chaos is convectively unstable, and that it is possible to predict an essential aspect of the bifurcation behavior of the coupled system solely by considering its corresponding spatial map.Comment: 4 pages; single compressed and uuencoded Postscript file which includes the 5 figureKeywords
