Spiral Waves in Chaotic Systems
arXiv:chao-dyn/9602014 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.76.1619
Abstract
Spiral waves are investigated in chemical systems whose underlying spatially-homogeneous dynamics is governed by a deterministic chaotic attractor. We show how the local periodic behavior in the vicinity of a spiral defect is transformed to chaotic dynamics far from the defect. The transformation occurs by a type of period doubling as the distance from the defect increases. The change in character of the dynamics is described in terms of the phase space flow on closed curves surrounding the defect.
