Pattern formation in a tunable medium: the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction in an aerosol OT microemulsion.

چکیده
Turing structures, standing waves, oscillatory clusters, and accelerating waves have been found in the spatially extended Belousov-Zhabotinsky system dispersed in water droplets of a reverse AOT microemulsion. The variety of patterns is determined by the tunable microstructure of the medium, i.e., by the concentration and size of water droplets. We propose a simple model to describe this system.

A model for jumping and bubble waves in the Belousov–Zhabotinsky- aerosol OT system
We develop a four-variable model, based on the classic Field–Kőrös–Noyes mechanism for the oscillatory Belousov-Zhabotinsky BZ reaction, that describes recently discovered jumping waves and bubble waves in the BZ reaction in aerosol OT microemulsion and provides insight into their origins. Contrary to suggestions based on previous models, it appears that these phenomena can arise from interacti...
متن کاملStationary and oscillatory localized patterns, and subcritical bifurcations.
Stationary and oscillatory localized patterns (oscillons) are found in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction dispersed in Aerosol OT water-in-oil microemulsion. The experimental findings are analyzed in terms of subcritical Hopf instability, subcritical Turing instability, and their combination.
متن کاملWavelength halving in a transition between standing waves and traveling waves.
In the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction-diffusion system dispersed in a newly developed water-in-oil aerosol OT/Span-20 microemulsion, the transition between standing waves and traveling waves is accompanied by a halving of the wavelength.
متن کاملPentanary cross-diffusion in water-in-oil microemulsions loaded with two components of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction.
We measure cross-diffusion coefficients in a five-component system, an aerosol OT (AOT) water-in-oil microemulsion loaded with two constituents of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction (H(2) O/AOT/BZ1/BZ2/octane). The species BZ1 is either NaBr, an inhibitor of the BZ reaction, or ferroin, a catalyst for the reaction. As species BZ2, we choose Br(2) , an intermediate in the reaction. The cross...
متن کاملComplex patterns in reactive microemulsions: self-organized nanostructures?
In a reverse microemulsion consisting of water, oil (octane), an anionic surfactant [aerosol OT (AOT)], and the reactants of the oscillating Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction, a variety of complex spatiotemporal patterns appear. These include traveling and standing waves, spirals that move either toward or away from their centers, spatiotemporal chaos, Turing patterns, segmented waves, and loc...
