  • breathing spiral waves in the chlorine dioxide iodine malonic acid reaction diffusion System
    Physical Review E, 2008
    Co-Authors: Igal Berenstein, Lingfa Yang, Milos Dolnik, Anatol M. Zhabotinsky, Alberto P Munuzuri, Irving R. Epstein
    Abstract:

    Breathing spiral waves are observed in the oscillatory chlorine dioxide-iodine-malonic acid Reaction-Diffusion System. The breathing develops within established patterns of multiple spiral waves after the concentration of polyvinyl alcohol in the feeding chamber of a continuously fed, unstirred reactor is increased. The breathing period is determined by the period of bulk oscillations in the feeding chamber. Similar behavior is obtained in the Lengyel-Epstein model of this System, where small amplitude parametric forcing of spiral waves near the spiral wave frequency leads to the formation of breathing spiral waves in which the period of breathing is equal to the period of forcing.

  • segmented spiral waves in a reaction diffusion System
    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2003
    Co-Authors: Vladimir K Vanag, Irving R. Epstein
    Abstract:

    Pattern formation in Reaction-Diffusion Systems is often invoked as a mechanism for biological morphogenesis. Patterns in chemical Systems typically occur either as propagating waves or as stationary, spatially periodic, Turing structures. The spiral and concentric (target) waves found to date in spatially extended chemical or physical Systems are smooth and continuous; only living Systems, such as seashells, lichens, pine cones, or flowers, have been shown to demonstrate segmentation of these patterns. Here, we report observations of segmented spiral and target waves in the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction dispersed in water nanodroplets of a water-in-oil microemulsion. These highly ordered chemical patterns, consisting of short wave segments regularly separated by gaps, form a link between Turing and trigger wave patterns and narrow the disparity between chemistry and biology. They exhibit aspects of such fundamental biological behavior as self-replication of structural elements and preservation of morphology during evolutionary development from a simpler precursor to a more complex structure.

  • Superlattice Turing structures in a photosensitive Reaction-Diffusion System.
    Physical review letters, 2003
    Co-Authors: Igal Berenstein, Lingfa Yang, Milos Dolnik, Anatol M. Zhabotinsky, Irving R. Epstein
    Abstract:

    Families of complex superlattice structures, consisting of combinations of basic hexagonal or square patterns, are found in a photosensitive Reaction-Diffusion System. The structures are induced by simple illumination patterns whose wavelengths are appropriately related to that of the System's intrinsic Turing pattern. Computer simulations agree with the structures and their stability. The technique offers a general approach to generating superlattices for use in information storage and other applications.

  • packet waves in a reaction diffusion System
    Physical Review Letters, 2002
    Co-Authors: Vladimir K Vanag, Irving R. Epstein
    Abstract:

    The finite-wavelength instability gives rise to a new type of wave in Reaction-Diffusion Systems: packet waves, which propagate only within a wave packet, are found in experiments on the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction dispersed in water-in-oil AOT microemulsion (BZ-AOT) as well as in model simulations. Inwardly moving packet waves with negative curvature occur in experiments and in a model of the BZ-AOT System when the dispersion d omega(k)/dk is negative at the characteristic wave number k(0). This result sheds light on the origin of anti-spirals.

  • a fast precipitation and dissolution reaction for a reaction diffusion System arising in a porous medium
    Nonlinear Analysis-real World Applications, 2009
    Co-Authors: Nicolas Bouillard, Robert Eymard, Marie Henry, Raphaele Herbin, Danielle Hilhorst
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper is devoted to the study of a fast reaction–diffusion System arising in reactive transport. It extends the articles [R. Eymard, T. Gallouet, R. Herbin, D. Hilhorst, M. Mainguy, Instantaneous and noninstantaneous dissolution: Approximation by the finite volume method, ESAIM Proc. (1998); J. Pousin, Infinitely fast kinetics for dissolution and diffusion in open reactive Systems, Nonlinear Anal. 39 (2000) 261–279] since a precipitation and dissolution reaction is considered so that the reaction term is not sign-definite and is moreover discontinuous. Energy type methods allow us to prove uniform estimates and then to study the limiting behavior of the solution as the kinetic rate tends to infinity in the special situation of one aqueous species and one solid species.

  • Cross-Diffusion Limit for a Reaction-Diffusion System with Fast Reversible Reaction
    Communications in Partial Differential Equations, 2012
    Co-Authors: Dieter Bothe, Michel Pierre, Guillaume Rolland
    Abstract:

    We consider a Reaction-Diffusion System which models a fast reversible reaction of type $C_1 + C_2 = C_3$ between mobile reactants inside an isolated vessel. Assuming mass action kinetics, we study the limit when the reaction speed tends to infinity in case of unequal diffusion coefficients and prove convergence of a subsequence of solutions to a weak solution of an appropriate limiting pde-System, where the limiting problem turns out to be of cross-diffusion type. The proof combines the $L^2$-approach to Reaction-Diffusion Systems having at most quadratic reaction terms with a thorough exploitation of the entropy functional for mass action Systems. The limiting cross-diffusion System has unique local strong solutions for sufficiently regular initial data, while uniqueness of weak solutions is in general open but is shown to be valid under restrictions on the diffusivities.

  • quasi steady state approximation for a reaction diffusion System with fast intermediate
    Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2010
    Co-Authors: Dieter Bothe, Michel Pierre
    Abstract:

    Abstract We consider a prototype reaction–diffusion System which models a network of two consecutive reactions in which chemical components A and B form an intermediate C which decays into two products P and Q. Such a situation often occurs in applications and in the typical case when the intermediate is highly reactive, the species C is eliminated from the System by means of a quasi-steady-state approximation. In this paper, we prove the convergence of the solutions in L 2 , as the decay rate of the intermediate tends to infinity, for all bounded initial data, even in the case of initial boundary layers. The limiting System is indeed the one which results from formal application of the QSSA. The proof combines the recent L 2 -approach to reaction–diffusion Systems having at most quadratic reaction terms, with local L ∞ -bounds which are independent of the decay rate of the intermediate. We also prove existence of global classical solutions to the initial System.
