Rich dynamics of the Oregonator model in animations
Reduced from the Field–Kőrös–Noyes mechanism for the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction, the Oregonator is based on five elementary stoichiometries and written (in scaled form) as:
The model exhibits many of the dynamic features found in the reaction.
Oscillations
Subcritical Hopf bifurcation
Excitability
Identical oscillators – in-phase oscillations
Identical oscillators – anti-phase oscillations
Nearly identical uncoupled oscillators
Nearly identical coupled oscillators – anti-phase oscillations
Nearly identical coupled oscillators – in-phase oscillations
Nearly identical coupled oscillators – oscillator death
