Phase transitions in moving systems.
The general stability criteria of the supercritical Ginzburg-Landau equations in moving media are considered for different forms of the convective velocity which may change in space and time both periodically and randomly. The results are correlated with experiments on the propagation of vortices in superconducting films under the influence of a bias current. The role of the finite size of a sample is discussed.
