ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:
This study investigates the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction’s spatio-temporal patterns using a realistic numerical model. Our simulations show that when spatially uniform system is unstable conditions, traveling waves emerge from a central point and move inwards when spatial inhomogeneities are introduced. Stable conditions, however, lead to Turing patterns, expanding outwards to form stationary zones of high and low concentrations. These findings emphasize diffusion’s key role in shaping the BZ reaction’s dynamics, offering insights for understanding nonequilibrium systems and potential applications in reaction engineering.
