TLDR
In this article, the time-dependent generalized Ginzburgland-landau equation is studied in the presence of low-level external noise and it is found that themicroscopic noise plays an important role in themacroscopic dynamics of the system, in which the random nature of the external noise plays a crucial role.

up depends on the degree of irregularity in the spatially growing waves. Since the irre-
gularities in the spatially growing waves change with time (the source of the waves
being randcm noise), the point at which the cohcrrmt structure breaks up changes with
time resulting in intermittcncy.

A non-linear instability theory for a wave system in plane Poiseuille flow

TL;DR: In this paper, the initial value problem for linearized perturbations is discussed, and the asymptotic solution for large time is given for values of the Reynolds number slightly greater than the critical value, above which perturbation may grow.
