Waving patterns: a general transition from stationary to moving forced Turing structures.

2006 
We perform experiments on the chlorine dioxide-iodine-malonic acid (CDIMA) reaction forced with light with a pattern of moving stripes in which the spatiotemporal behavior is the oscillating movement of stripes (waving). This behavior is seen for different relative wavelengths between stationary and moving patterns. Different velocities of forcing may produce different modes of relaxation of the pattern in order to get to the natural Turing wavelength. Zigzag or Eckhaus instabilities may affect the symmetry of the pattern but do not influence the waving movement of stripes.
