Kinematic Equations for Front Motion and Spiral-Wave Nucleation
We present a new set of kinematic equations for front motion in bistable media. The equations extend earlier kinematic approaches by coupling the front curvature with the order parameter associated with a parity breaking front bifurcation. In addition to naturally describing the core region of rotating spiral waves the equations can be be used to study the nucleation of spiral-wave pairs along ...
متن کاملSpiral Wave Nucleation
In bistable systems, the stability of front structures often influences the dynamics of extended patterns. We show how the combined effect of an instability to curvature modulations and proximity to a pitchfork front bifurcation leads to spontaneous nucleation of spiral waves along the front. This effect is demonstrated by direct simulations of a FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) model and by simulations o...
متن کاملOrder Parameter Equations for Front Transitions: Nonuniformly Curved Fronts
Kinematic equations for the motion of slowly propagating, weakly curved fronts in bistable media are derived. The equations generalize earlier derivations where algebraic relations between the normal front velocity and its curvature are assumed. Such relations do not capture the dynamics near nonequilibrium Ising-Bloch (NIB) bifurcations, where transitions between counterpropagating Bloch front...
متن کاملImproved Estimates of Kinematic Wave Parameters for Circular Channels
The momentum equation in the kinematic wave model is a power-law equation with two parameters. These parameters, which relate the discharge to the flow area, are commonly derived using Manning’s equation. In general, the values of these parameters depend on the flow depth except for some special cross sections. In this paper, improved estimates of the kinematic wave parameters for circular chan...
متن کاملPropagation of the Homogeneous Wave Front Set for Schrödinger Equations∗
In this paper we study the propagation of singularity for Schrödingertype equations with variable coefficients. We introduce a new notion of wave propagation set, the homogeneous wave front set, and it propagates along straight lines with finite speed away from x 6= 0. Then we show that it is related to the wave front set in a natural way. These results may be considered as a refinement of the ...
