Design and control of wave propagation patterns in excitable media.

چکیده
Intricate patterns of wave propagation are exhibited in a chemical reaction-diffusion system with spatiotemporal feedback. Wave behavior is controlled by feedback-regulated excitability gradients that guide propagation in specified directions. Waves interacting with boundaries and with other waves are observed when interaction terms are incorporated into the control algorithm. Spatiotemporal feedback offers wide flexibility for designing and controlling wave behavior in excitable media.

Wave Propagation in Excitable Media with Randomly Distributed Obstacles
We study the effect of small, randomly distributed obstacles on wave propagation in two-dimensional (2D) and 3D excitable media described by the Aliev–Panfilov model. We find that increasing the number of obstacles decreases the conduction velocity of plane waves and decreases the effective diffusion coefficient in the eikonal curvature equation. The presence of obstacles also increases the ind...
متن کاملWave trains, self-oscillations and synchronization in discrete media
We study wave propagation in networks of coupled cells which can behave as excitable or self-oscillatory media. For excitable media, an asymptotic construction of wave trains is presented. This construction predicts their shape and speed, as well as the critical coupling and the critical separation of time scales for propagation failure. It describes stable wave train generation by repeated fir...
متن کاملAxisymmetric Scaled Boundary Finite Element Formulation for Wave Propagation in Unbounded Layered Media
Wave propagation in unbounded layered media with a new formulation of Axisymmetric Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (AXI-SBFEM) is derived. Dividing the general three-dimensional unbounded domain into a number of independent two-dimensional ones, the problem could be solved by a significant reduction in required storage and computational time. The equations of the corresponding Axisymmetri...
متن کاملPropagation o! traveling waves in excitable media
Traveling waves transmit information through space. Wave patterns arise in phenomena as diverse as the migrating action potentials of neurons (Hodgkin and Huxley 1952), spiraling bands of electrical excitation detected in cardiac muscle (Davidenko et al. 1992), and the movement of calcium within differentiating Xenopus laevis oocytes (Lechleiter et al. 1991). In each of these cases, an excitabl...
متن کاملکاربرد روش معادله سهموی در تحلیل مسائل انتشار امواج داخل ساختمان
With the rapid growth of indoor wireless communication systems, the need to accurately model radio wave propagation inside the building environments has increased. Many site-specific methods have been proposed for modeling indoor radio channels. Among these methods, the ray tracing algorithm and the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method are the most popular ones. The ray tracing approach ...
