Abstract: | We present experiments on the propagation of a wave front in a fluid forced by Faraday waves. The vertical periodical modulation of the acceleration induces flows in the system that modifies the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) chemical reaction dynamics. Phase waves spreading through standing waves with different symmetries results in superdiffusion. The anomalous diffusion is characterized in terms of a non-integer transport exponent which is compared with exponents resulting from tracer particles trajectories undergoing rapid, distant jumps called Lévy flights. |
