چکیده

Experiments on a periodically forced Belousov-Zhabotinsky chemical reaction show front breakup into a state of spatiotemporal disorder involving continual events of spiral-vortex nucleation and destruction. Using the amplitude equation for forced oscillatory systems and the normal form equations for a curved front line, we identify the mechanism of front breakup and explain the experimental observations.

Bloch-front turbulence: theory and experiments

We report on experimental and theoretical findings of front destabilization that causes spontaneous spiral–vortex nucleation and produces a state of spatio-temporal disorder. The experiments were carried out on an oscillatory photosensitive Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction that is periodically forced in time. Numerical studies were carried out on a modified Complex Ginzburg–Landau equation and on ...

Development of Standing-Wave Labyrinthine Patterns

Experiments on a quasi-two-dimensional Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction-diffusion system, periodically forced at approximately twice its natural frequency, exhibit resonant labyrinthine patterns that develop through two distinct mechanisms. In both cases, large amplitude labyrinthine patterns form that consist of interpenetrating fingers of frequency-locked regions differing in phase by π. An...

Period doubling in a periodically forced Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction.

Using an open-flow reactor periodically perturbed with light, we observe subharmonic frequency locking of the oscillatory Belousov-Zhabotinsky chemical reaction at one-sixth the forcing frequency (6:1) over a region of the parameter space of forcing intensity and forcing frequency where the Farey sequence dictates we should observe one-third the forcing frequency (3:1). In this parameter region...

Resonant phase patterns in a reaction-diffusion system

Resonance regions similar to the Arnol'd tongues found in single oscillator frequency locking are observed in experiments using a spatially extended periodically forced Belousov-Zhabotinsky system. We identify six distinct 2:1 subharmonic resonant patterns and describe them in terms of the position-dependent phase and magnitude of the oscillations. Some experimentally observed features are also...

Excitation fronts on a periodically modulated curved surface

The evolution of an excitation front propagating on a nonuniformly curved surface is considered within the framework of a kinematical model of its motion. For the case of a surface with a periodically modulated curvature an exact solution of the front shape is obtained under the assumption of sufficiently small surface deformation. The results of the theoretical consideration are compared with ...
