Spiral Motion in a Noisy Complex Ginzburg-Landau Equation
Igor Aranson, Hugues Chate, Lei Han Tang
Abstract
The response of spiral waves to external perturbations in a stable regime of the two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) is investigated. It is shown that the spiral core has a finite mobility and performs Brownian motion when driven by white noise. Combined with simulation results, this suggests that defect-free and quasi-frozen states in the noiseless CGLE are unstable against free vortex excitation at any non-zero noise strength.
