Area of Science:

  • Complex Systems
  • Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics
  • Chemical Kinetics

Background:

  • Reaction-diffusion systems exhibit complex spatio-temporal patterns.
  • Understanding pattern formation requires quantifying system dynamics.
  • Entropy production is a key thermodynamic quantity for non-equilibrium systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To calculate entropy production during pattern formation in a 2D reaction-diffusion system.
  • To analyze the distinct contributions of reaction and diffusion to total entropy production.
  • To explore entropy production as a measure for pattern dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical simulation of a two-dimensional reaction-diffusion model.
  • Separation of entropy production into reaction and diffusion components.

  • Analysis of entropy production in relation to pattern evolution (Turing-like and chaotic).

    • Main Results:

    • Diffusion contributes approximately 5% to total entropy production but predicts pattern movement.
    • Total entropy production effectively characterizes the cooperative dynamics of chaotic dot patterns.
    • A correlation between the bifurcation parameter and distance from thermodynamic equilibrium was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Entropy production serves as a valuable scalar measure for studying hierarchical pattern dynamics.
    • Diffusion's role in entropy production is crucial for understanding pattern directionality.
    • The study provides insights into the thermodynamic underpinnings of pattern formation in complex systems.
