We present the first experimental study of unpinning a spiral wave of excitation using a circularly polarized electric field. The experiments are conducted in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky(BZ) reaction, and the system is modeled using the…
Rotors of reaction and diffusion, that revolve around a circular singularity, and the corresponding spiral wave activity around it, influence the nature of several excitable media. Their dynamics are known to be affected by target waves and…
Target waves and spiral waves were discovered in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction around 50 years ago. Many biological systems demonstrate such rotating spiral patterns. Spiral waves are widely encountered in the glycolytic activity…
In two-dimensional reaction-diffusion systems, local curvature perturbations in the shape of traveling waves are typically damped out and disappear in the course of time. If, however, the inhibitor diffuses much faster than the activator,…
Cardiac tissue and the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction provide two notable examples of excitable media that support scroll waves, in which a filament core is the source of spiral waves of excitation. Here we consider a novel topological…
Following J.D. Murray, we consider a system of two differential equations that models traveling fronts in the Noyes-Field theory of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) chemical reaction. We are also interested in the situation when the system…
A gas free analogue of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction catalysed by ferroin and encapsulated in phospholipid stabilised vesicles is reported. A reaction mixture which exhibits spontaneous oscillation and excitation transfer between…
Spiral and antispiral waves are studied numerically in two examples of oscillatory reaction-diffusion media and analytically in the corresponding complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE). We argue that both these structures are sources of…
We present both simulated and partial empirical evidence for the computational utility of many connected vesicle analogs of an encapsulated non-linear chemical processing medium. By connecting small vesicles containing a solution of…
We discovered a new type of spiral wave solutions in reaction-diffusion systems --- spike spiral wave, which significantly differs from spiral waves observed in FitzHugh-Nagumo-type models. We present an asymptotic theory of these waves in…
Mesoscopic dynamics of self-organized structures is the most important aspect in the description of complex living systems. The Belousov--Zhabotinsky (B--Z) reaction is in this respect a convenient testbed because it represents a prototype…
A spiral wave is a macroscopic dynamic of excitable media that plays an important role in several distinct systems, including the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, seizures in the brain, and lethal arrhythmia in the heart. Because spiral wave…
We present an experimental system of networks of coupled non-linear chemical reactors, which we theoretically model within a reaction-diffusion framework. The networks consist of patterned arrays of diffusively coupled nanoliter-scale…
We study the Murray adaptation of the Noyes-Field five-step model of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction in the case when a tuning parameter $r$, which determines the level of the bromide ion far ahead of the propagating wave, is bigger…
The presence of spiral structure in isolated galaxies is a problem that has only been partially explained by theoretical models. Because the rate and pattern of star formation in the disk must depend only on mechanisms internal to the disk,…
Far from equilibrium, chemical and biological systems can form complex patterns and waves through reaction-diffusion coupling. Fluid motion often interferes with these self-organized concentration patterns. In this study, we investigate the…
In the limit of large diffusivity ratio, spot-like solutions in the two-dimensional Belousov-Zhabotinski reaction in water-in-oil microemulsion are studied. It is shown analytically that such spots undergo an instability as the diffusivity…
Excitation waves on a sub-excitable Belousov Zhabotinsky (BZ) substrate can be manipulated by chemical variations in the substrate and by interactions with other waves. Symbolic assignment and interpretation of wave dynamics can be used to…
Spiral waves in active media react to small perturbations as particle-like objects. Here we apply the asymptotic theory to the interaction of spiral waves with a localized inhomogeneity, which leads to a novel prediction: drift of the…
The main aim of this paper is to detect dynamical properties of the Gy\"orgyi-Field model of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky chemical reaction. The corresponding three-variable model given as a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations…
