Area of Science:

  • Complex Systems
  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Chemical Kinetics

Background:

  • Excitable media exhibit self-organized propagation of импульсы.
  • Chaotic flows significantly alter pattern formation and dynamics in reaction-diffusion systems.
  • Understanding these interactions is crucial for fields ranging from biology to materials science.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of two-dimensional chaotic flow on the response of an excitable medium to localized perturbations.
  • To identify and characterize different regimes of interaction between the excitable medium and the chaotic flow.
  • To develop simplified models for better comprehension of the underlying mechanisms.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical simulations of an excitable medium subjected to two types of chaotic flows (open and closed).

    • Main Results:

    • Three distinct interaction regimes were identified for both open and closed chaotic flows.
    • Regime transitions depend on the interplay between stirring intensity and the excitable reaction rate.
    • Simplified models successfully captured key aspects of the observed concentration patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • The dynamics of excitable media are highly sensitive to the characteristics of chaotic flow.
    • A complex interplay of stirring and reaction kinetics governs the observed behaviors.
    • The study provides a framework for understanding pattern formation in perturbed excitable systems within chaotic environments.
