On the Phase Dynamics in the BZ Reaction

We have studied the phase dynamics in an oscillatory chemical system (Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction). The phase distribution and isophase lines in the 2D phase space were reconstructed. The dynamics proved to be well described in terms of the Burgers equation. The phase dependence of the coefficients of the equation was taken into account to estimate the region of the applicability of the Burgers equation.
