Spatiotemporal Dynamics in Chemical Systems

西弗吉尼亚大学的Kenneth Showalter得到了理论和计算化学项目以及应用数学项目的支持，该项目旨在研究化学体系中的时空动力学。正在开展三个主要领域的研究：控制和表征分布式光敏Belousov-Zhabotinsky介质中稳定的反应-扩散波；使用可寻址的可激发介质模拟疾病传播；以及研究过氧化物酶-氧化酶反应中的时空行为。本研究采用实验和数值模拟相结合的方法。这项工作将对科学的其他领域产生影响，特别是对兴奋的媒体和流行病学的理解。该奖项由数学科学部的应用数学计划和化学部的理论和计算化学计划共同资助，该计划隶属于NSF范围内的数学科学优先领域。

Kenneth Showalter of West Virginia University is supported by the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry program and the Applied Mathematics program for research on spatiotemporal dynamics in chemical systems. Three main areas of research are being carried out: controlling and characterizing stabilized reaction-diffusion waves in a distributed photosensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium; modeling disease spread using addressable excitable media; and studying spatiotemporal behavior in the Peroxidase-Oxidase reaction. The research involves a combination of experiment and numerical simulation. The work will have an impact on other areas of science, particularly the understanding of excitable media and epidemiology.This award is co-funded by the Applied Mathematics program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences and the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry program of the Chemistry Division under the umbrella of the NSF-wide Mathematical Sciences Priority Area.
