Abstract
The nonlinear dynamics of chemical systems evolving sufficiently far from thermodynamic equilibrium leads to many remarkable phenomena. For instance, in homogeneous reactive solutions bistability and hysteresis, periodic oscillations or chaotic behaviour may occur [1]. Without stirring the coupling of complex reaction kinetics to diffusion can lead to the propagation of chemical waves, that is concentration gradients move through space, as best observed in thin excitable solution layers in a petri dish [2–4]. Spatial patterns in solution layers can also be stationary or transient [5–10]. For several systems it has been established that such structures are generated by reaction-convection coupling [11] without necessarily involving excitable or oscillatory kinetics [12].
