Unpinning of a Vortex in a Chemical Excitable Medium
Rotating vortices are easily pinned to any defects in excitable media. Moderate advective fields cannot remove the pinned vortices. We have found and tested experimentally a mechanism for unpinning a vortex. To unpin a vortex, we created additional waves close to its core. A vortex can be unpinned when a new created wave is pinned to the same obstacle and has a topological defect. This mechanis...
متن کاملOn Emulation of Flueric Devices in Excitable Chemical Medium
Flueric devices are fluidic devices without moving parts. Fluidic devices use fluid as a medium for information transfer and computation. A Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) medium is a thin-layer spatially extended excitable chemical medium which exhibits travelling excitation wave-fronts. The excitation wave-fronts transfer information. Flueric devices compute via jets interaction. BZ devices compute...
متن کاملOn polymorphic logical gates in sub-excitable chemical medium
In a sub-excitable light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) chemical medium an asymmetric disturbance causes the formation of localized traveling wave-fragments. Under the right conditions these wave-fragment can conserve their shape and velocity vectors for extended time periods. The size and life span of a fragment depend on the illumination level of the medium. When two or more wave-fragmen...
متن کاملCritical size and curvature of wave formation in an excitable chemical medium.
The critical radius for the outward propagation of waves in an excitable solution of the Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction was experimentally analyzed and found to be approximately 20 mum, being in a range predicted by theory. Thus, the wave initiation depends on the critical radius in an all-or-none fashion. For waves having high positive curvature of wave fronts, a linear relationship between th...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal irregularity in an excitable medium with shear flow.
We consider an excitable medium moving with relative shear, subjected to a localized disturbance that in a stationary medium would produce a pair of spiral waves. The spiral waves so created are distorted and then broken by the motion of the medium. Such breaks generate new spiral waves, and so a "chain reaction" of spiral wave births and deaths is observed. This leads to a complicated spatiote...
