Abstract:
Summary The tunneling of chemical waves through the gaps of different geometrical shapes was studied using a new experimental model based on the polysulphone membranes with the fixed catalyst. Period doubling of the wave train, formation of the wave breaks on the split in polysulphone membrane, drift of the spiral wave along the widening split were observed. The effects were confirmed and studied in details using computer simulation.
