    Through extensive numerical simulation, we have characterized the transition to chaos of the solutions to the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. The attracting solution manifolds undergo a complex bifurcation sequence including multimodal fixed points, invariant tori, traveling wave trains, and homoclinic orbits. We relate this behavior to earlier work where the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation was shown to behave as a finite dimensional dynamical system of ordinary differential equations.
