Oscillatory Turing Patterns in a Simple Reaction-Diffusion System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Turing suggested that, under certain conditions, chemicals can react and diffuse in such a way as to produce steady-state inhomogeneous spatial patterns of chemical concentrations. We consider a simple two-variable reaction-diffusion system and find there is a spatio-temporally oscillating solution (STOS) in parameter regions where linear analysis predicts a pure Turing instability and no Hopf instability. We compute the boundary of the STOS and spatially non-uniform solution (SSNS) regions and investigate what features control its behavior.

Out-of-phase oscillatory Turing patterns in a bistable reaction-diffusion system.
A new type of out-of-phase oscillatory Turing pattern is found in simulations of a simple two-variable model of a bistable reaction-diffusion system consisting of an autocatalytic activator reacting with a substrate that is replenished by a flow. This class of models can describe pH oscillators or enzymatic reactions. No Hopf instability is necessary for this type of oscillatory Turing pattern.
متن کاملOscillatory Turing patterns in reaction-diffusion systems with two coupled layers.
A model reaction-diffusion system with two coupled layers yields oscillatory Turing patterns when oscillation occurs in one layer and the other supports stationary Turing structures. Patterns include "twinkling eyes," where oscillating Turing spots are arranged as a hexagonal lattice, and localized spiral or concentric waves within spot-like or stripe-like Turing structures. A new approach to g...
متن کاملStable squares and other oscillatory turing patterns in a reaction-diffusion model.
We study the Brusselator reaction-diffusion model under conditions where the Hopf mode is supercritical and the Turing band is subcritical. Oscillating Turing patterns arise in the system when bulk oscillations lose their stability to spatial perturbations. Spatially uniform external periodic forcing can generate oscillating Turing patterns when both the Turing and Hopf modes are subcritical in...
متن کاملTuring pattern outside of the Turing domain
There are two simple solutions to reaction-diffusion systems with limit-cycle reaction kinetics, producing oscillatory behaviour. The reaction parameter mu gives rise to a 'space-invariant' solution, and mu versus the ratio of the diffusion coefficients gives rise to a 'time-invariant' solution. We consider the case where both solution types may be possible. This leads to a refinement of the Tu...
متن کاملSpatial resonances and superposition patterns in a reaction-diffusion model with interacting Turing modes.
Spatial resonances leading to superlattice hexagonal patterns, known as "black-eyes," and superposition patterns combining stripes and/or spots are studied in a reaction-diffusion model of two interacting Turing modes with different wavelengths. A three-phase oscillatory interlacing hexagonal lattice pattern is also found, and its appearance is attributed to resonance between a Turing mode and ...
