Abstract
Spiral wave chimeras with spatially extended unsynchronized cores have been reported in nonlocally coupled phase oscillators and chaotic oscillators. Here, we investigate the two-dimensional nonlocally coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo oscillators with open boundary conditions. Rich dynamics of spiral wave chimeras is discovered numerically. Besides outwardly propagating and inwardly propagating single-spiral wave chimeras, we find the double-spiral wave chimera with two spiral chimeras rotating with each other and the breakup of spiral wave chimeras. We also find a transition between a normal spiral wave with a phase singularity at its center and spiral wave chimera.
