The effect of Gaussian white noise on a chemical wavefront is studied in a modified FitzHugn–Nagumo model by applying numerical simulations. A rotating spiral waves can be formed if the medium is excitable enough and the fronts has a free end, when the reaction diffusion system is disturbed by a certain non-zero level noise. It is counterintuitive that noise plays a constructive role in the product and propagation of single spiral waves in this letter. Weak or strong noise will make against the product and propagation of spiral waves. In a certain noise level, spiral wave can be maintained in a medium, where such spiral waves cannot be observed in the absence of the noise.

We describe a method of stabilizing the dominant structure in a chaotic reaction-diffusion system, where the underlying nonlinear dynamics needs not to be known. The dominant mode is identified by the Karhunen-Loeve decomposition, also known as orthogonal decomposition. Using a ionic version of the Brusselator model in a spatially one-dimensional system, our control strategy is based on perturbations derived from the amplitude function of the dominant spatial mode. The perturbation is used in two different ways: A global perturbation is realized by forcing an electric current through the one-dimensional system, whereas the local perturbation is performed by modulating concentrations of the autocatalyst at the boundaries. Only the global method enhances the contribution of the dominant mode to the total fluctuation energy. On the other hand, the local method leads to simple bulk oscillation of the entire system.
