Abstract
Two kinds of scroll wave instabilities were studied experimentally in the excitable Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction: three-dimensional meandering and negative line tension of the scroll wave filament. The filament displays a flat zigzag shape in the initial stages of the experiment. As the chemical medium ages, the filament assumes a wiggly shape while its length increases substantially. Numerical simulations underpin the experimental findings and their interpretation.Year: 2008 PMID: 18518076 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.148302
