Superspiral structures of meandering and drifting spiral waves.

چکیده
The spatiotemporal superstructure of meandering and drifting spiral waves is explained analytically. It is also demonstrated that the Hopf eigenmode that causes the transition to meandering waves is weakly exponentially localized at onset but grows exponentially slightly before onset.

Doppler effect of nonlinear waves and superspirals in oscillatory media.
Nonlinear waves emitted from a moving source are studied. A meandering spiral in a reaction-diffusion medium provides an example in which waves originate from a source exhibiting a back-and-forth movement in a radial direction. The periodic motion of the source induces a Doppler effect that causes a modulation in wavelength and amplitude of the waves ("superspiral"). Using direct simulations as...
متن کاملDynamics of Spiral Waves on Unbounded Domains Using Center-Manifold Reductions
An equivariant center-manifold reduction near relative equilibria of G-equivariant semiflows on Banach spaces is presented. In contrast to previous results, the Lie group G is possibly non-compact. Moreover, it is not required that G induces a strongly continuous group action on the underlying function space. In fact, G may act discontinuously. The results are applied to bifurcations of stable ...
متن کاملSpiral Meandering
The complex, so called meandering, dynamics of spiral waves in excitable media is examined from the point of view of bifurcation theory. A computational bifurcation analysis is made of spiral dynamics. It is shown that spiral meandering is organized in parameter space around a codimension-two point where a Hopf bifurcation from rotating waves interacts with symmetries on the plane. A simple mod...
متن کاملPeriodic forcing of spiral waves in excitable media.
An analysis of periodically forced spiral waves in excitable media provides a simple explanation of the resonant drift dynamics and frequency entrainments observed both in laboratory experiments and in simulations of partial-differential equations. Forcing of both rigidly rotating and meandering spirals is considered. In the meandering case we predict the existence of different resonant drift s...
متن کاملCommon mechanism links spiral wave meandering and wave-front–obstacle separation
Spiral waves rotate either around a circular core or meander, inscribing a noncircular pattern. The medium properties determining the transition of meandering were found to be equivalent to those defining the transition from wave tip separation and attachment around the end of an unexcitable strip of thickness comparable to zero velocity wave-front thickness. The transition from circular to non...
