Target patterns arising from the short-wave instability in near-critical regimes of reaction-diffusion systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The supercritical short-wave oscillatory bifurcation is studied in finite systems using the amplitude ~Ginzburg-Landau! equation. Numerical simulations show that a zero-flux boundary stabilizes sources of target patterns. As a result, stable sources attached to the boundary can exist at small overcriticality, under the condition of convective instability of the homogeneous steady state. Oscillating target patterns and alternating wave packets are formed if the coupling between left and right propagating waves is strong. @S1063-651X~97!01807-2#

Pattern formation arising from wave instability in a simple reaction-diffusion system
Pattern formation is studied numerically in a three-variable reaction-diffusion model with onset of the oscillatory instability at a finite wavelength. Traveling and standing waves, asymmetric standing-traveling wave patterns, and target patterns are found. With increasing overcriticality or system length, basins of attraction of more symmetric patterns shrink, while less symmetric patterns bec...
متن کاملStanding Waves in a Two-Dimensional Reaction-Diffusion Model with the Short-Wave Instability
Various patterns of standing waves are found beyond the onset of the short-wave instability in a model reactiondiffusion system. These include plain and modulated stripes, squares, and rhombi in systems with square and rectangular geometry and patterns with rotational symmetry in systems with circular geometry. We also find standing waves consisting of periodic time sequences of stripes and rho...

Steep, short-crested waves, as well as a large variety of three-dimensional propagating wave patterns have been created in laboratory, utilizing a plunging half-cone. Monochromatic waves, over a range of frequencies and amplitudes through breaking and including soliton wave groups near resonance, have been observed and studied in a small wave flume. This monochromatic wavemaker creates complex ...
متن کاملThermosolutal Convection of Micropolar Rotating Fluids Saturating a Porous Medium
Double-diffusive convection in a micropolar fluid layer heated and soluted from below in the presence of uniform rotation saturating a porous medium is theoretically investigated. An exact solution is obtained for a flat fluid layer contained between two free boundaries. To study the onset of convection, a linear stability analysis theory and normal mode analysis method have been used. For the ...
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...
