Abstract:
The control of spiral breakup due to Doppler instability is investigated. It is found that applying an alternating advective field with suitable amplitude and period can prevent the breakup of spiral waves. Further numerical simulations show that the growing meandering behavior of a spiral tip caused by decreasing the excitability of the medium can be efficiently suppressed by the alternating advective field, which inhibits the breakup of spiral waves eventually.
