Abstract:

The interaction between the Turing instability and the instability induced by a differential flow is studied in the Selkov model. Both instabilities give rise to the formation of spatial patterns, and for a range of parameter values, these patterns can compete. The effect of anisotropic diffusion on the pattern formation process is investigated. Stripes with different orientations that travel with time and the suppression of patterns due to a competition of both instabilities are observed. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.
