This paper examines the behavior of pairs of spiral waves in a two-dimensional excitable medium with a parameter gradient, and extends the results to study the effects of self-interactions of scroll waves in three dimensions. When two spirals are placed in regions of different local rotation periods

The propagation of spiral waves in three-dimensional excitable media with and without forcing is studied numerically, and it is shown that, when localized forcing is imposed in a cube located in the middle of the computational domain, the spiral wave preserves its integrity, although it exhibits a d
In this paper, a new scheme is proposed to remove the spiral wave in a two-dimensional Fithhugh-Nagumo type equation by introducing a class of vortex electric field into the media. A long electric solenoid with large pipe diameter is used to generate a spatial magnetic field and the intensity of mag
The dynamics of spiral waves under external modulation of excitability is studied experimentally in a light-sensitive convection-free Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium. When varying the intensity of applied illumination periodically, the experiments reveal strong dependence of the resulting trajectories o
