I. Jumping oscillon (JO) demonstration
JO arises in a 3-component RD system.
To see how it is generated, you can simply download a demonstration program,
PDEs.exe.
Run it, you will see
-
an animation of space x (horizontal) v.s. concentration u (vertical), and
-
a spatiotemporal (x-axis for space, y-axis for time)
(Click to see the animation in a separate window)
Detail
-
The model is a standard reaction-diffusion model.
-
where parameters are
-
System size: 128 space units (s.u.) simulated by 256 pixels
-
Space discrete: dx=0.5 s.u./pixel
-
Integral: Eular method with time step dt=0.001 per time unit.
-
The initial conditions: put everywhere (u,v,w) to the steady state
u_ss=v_ss=w_ss=-0.8 except for u a step (left 30 s.u.) to -0.2 as the animation shows at t=0.
-
The boundary conditions: zero-flux boundary at two ends.
Later, when the JO is close the right end, it is switched to a periodic boundary so that the JO can keep jumping.
