Abstract
Simple kinetic models capture the propagation and evolution of patterns produced by competing autocatalytic processes occurring in chaotic flows. Changes in initial condition of a few percent lead to changes in the final product mix of 100%. This is due to transport and interaction along the intertwining manifolds. Examples include crystallization of chiral substances and bistable enzyme reactions.Keywords
