Transition from traveling to standing waves as a function of frequency in a reaction-diffusion system

Abstract: The addition of polyethylene glycol to the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction increases the frequency of oscillations, which in an extended system causes a transition from traveling to standing waves. A further increase in frequency causes another transition to bulk oscillations. The standing waves are composed of two domains, which oscillate out of phase with a small delay between them, the delay being smaller as the frequency of oscillations is increased.

“…Notably, the dependence of the oscillation period in our system on the concentration of PEG added to a solution is markedly different from that observed for the BZ reaction in solution where the increase in PEG decreases the oscillation period. [37][38][39] One of the factors that contributes to this difference in behavior could be the fact that the addition of PEG, and the corresponding increase in viscosity, strongly alters the contribution of convection to the dynamics of BZ reaction in solution; 40 notably, when the BZ reaction occurs in gel systems, the hydrodynamic effects are eliminated. 41 In addition, immersing our chemoresponsive gel in a higher viscosity solvent is also expected to modify the mobility of the polymer network; if this mobility becomes sufficiently low it might correspondingly contribute to the observed increase in the oscillation period.…”

“…The study of D. Cuiñas et al investigated the transition from traveling to standing waves in a reaction-diffusion system as a function of frequency [15]. The researchers noted that a further increase in frequency led to yet another transition, this time resulting in bulk oscillations.…”
