Abstract

When scroll rings in the excitable Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction are subjected to an applied electrical current, a reorientation of the scroll ring is induced which is accompanied by a linear drift towards the cathode. The findings can be explained using a modified theory of local filament dynamics under parameter gradients. Numerical simulations using the Oregonator model with an additional advective term accounting for the applied electric field reproduce the experimental results and provide insights into the deformation of the structure of the filament during the reorientation.
