Abstract

The stability of the orientation of scroll rings in the excitable Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction under an applied electrical current was investigated in experiments and simulations. The parallel and antiparallel orientations of the scroll ring unit vector with respect to the current are two stationary states, the first one unstable, the latter stable. For any other orientation, the scroll rings were forced to rotate by the current. At the stable stationary orientation, the scroll rings may contract or expand under the same applied current depending on the radius of the scroll rings. In simulations, delicate adjustments caused a scroll ring to propagate with a constant radius in an advective field.
