Stationary structure induced along a reaction-diffusion front by a Turing symmetry breaking instability

Abstract

We show that, with an appropriate reactor geometry, a two dimensional reaction-diffusion Turing pattern can be restricted to a quasi one-dimensional structure along a stationary front and support our conclusions by numerical simulations. Such a geometry should free the experimentalists from contradictory requirements and should allow them to evidence genuine isothermal sustained dissipative structures driven by pure reaction-diffusion processes
