Spatial symmetry breaking in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction with light-induced remote communication.

چکیده
Domains containing spiral waves form on a stationary background in a photosensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction with light-induced alternating nonlocal feedback. Complex behavior of colliding and splitting wave fragments is found with feedback radii comparable to the spiral wavelength. A linear stability analysis of the uniform stationary states in an Oregonator model reveals a spatial symmetry breaking instability. Numerical simulations show behavior in agreement with that found experimentally and also predict a variety of other new patterns.

Convective effects on a propagating reaction front
Unstable concentration gradients inherent in traveling chemical waves can give rise to buoyancy-driven convection, altering the speed of the wave. When an excitable Belousov– Zhabotinsky reaction system is confined within a sufficiently narrow, vertical two-dimensional channel, convection arises at a symmetry-breaking bifurcation point. The observed linear rate of change of wave speed with the ...
متن کاملExcitation fronts in a spatially modulated light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky system.
The evolution of excitation wave fronts in a spatially modulated light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky system is investigated experimentally and theoretically. The excitation wave propagates in a thin, quasi-two-dimensional reaction layer, which is illuminated through a periodical gray level mask. The light-induced differences in excitability and velocity give rise to a temporal and spatial modu...
متن کاملKinetic Aspects of Soai ́s Asymmetric Autocatalysis
Recent kinetic studies are discussed that shed light on the reaction mechanism of the autocatalytic addition of diisopropylzinc to pyrimidine carbaldehydes (Soai reaction). Soai’s reaction stands for the exclusive example of chirally autocatalytic reaction system in organic chemistry and has attracted close attention from several viewpoints: as possible account for the origin of biomolecular ho...
متن کاملHopf Bifurcation from Rotating Waves and Patterns in Physical Space
Hopf bifurcations from time periodic rotating waves to two frequency tori have been studied for a number of years by a variety of authors including Rand and Renardy. Rotating waves are solutions to partial differential equations where time evolution is the same as spatial rotation. Thus rotating waves can exist mathematically only in problems that have at least SO(2) symmetry. In this paper we ...
متن کاملOn the Origin of Chaos in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky Reaction in Closed and Unstirred Reactors
We investigate the origin of deterministic chaos in the Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction carried out in closed and unstirred reactors (CURs). In detail, we develop a model on the idea that hydrodynamic instabilities play a driving role in the transition to chaotic dynamics. A set of partial differential equations were derived by coupling the two variable Oregonator–diffusion system to the Nav...
