| Abstract: | Unidirectionality of a chemical diode for chemical wave transmission in the Belousov- Zhabotinsky media is discussed based on a logistic-type ODE that is derived from the Rovinsky-Zhabotinsky model: dx/d tau=x(Phi-x), where the influence of diffusion is compressed within the parameter, Phi, No wave transmission takes place beyond the critical gap width, i.e., it rakes infinite rime for the chemical wave to be transmitted. This idea is developed to explain the switching of unidirectionality under high acidity conditions. |
