Abstract
We report on experimental and theoretical findings of front destabilization that causes spontaneous spiral–vortex nucleation and produces a state of spatio-temporal disorder. The experiments were carried out on an oscillatory photosensitive Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction that is periodically forced in time. Numerical studies were carried out on a modified Complex Ginzburg–Landau equation and on the FitzHugh–Nagumo model. Using velocity–curvature relations for fronts we associate the onset of spatio-temporal disorder with the Nonequilibrium Ising Bloch (NIB) bifurcation, and study the generic patterns that form on both sides of the bifurcation as the distance from it is increased.
