From Labyrinthine Patterns to Spiral Turbulence
Aric Hagberg, Ehud Meron
Abstract
A new mechanism for spiral vortex nucleation in nongradient reaction diffusion systems is proposed. It involves two key ingredients: An Ising-Bloch type front bifurcation and an instability of a planar front to transverse perturbations. Vortex nucleation by this mechanism plays an important role in inducing a transition from labyrinthine patterns to spiral turbulence. PACS numbers: 05.45.+b, 82.20.Mj
