Spiral Waves - modelling the BZ reaction
This applet demonstrates spiral waves,
As the system evolves you will see the excited ( red ) state form a spiral wave.
There are three scroll bars which ( from left to right ) control the rate of:
U diffusion - default 50
V diffusion - default 50
V kinetics - default 50
It is also possible to excite/de-excite parts of the system by clicking
on them. This allows you to see how perturbations to the system would develop.
For a mathematical analysis of spiral waves and for the meaning
of the U and V terms, the interested reader can refer to
