Set Up

We review some recent work investigating a hierarchy of patterning processes in which a reaction-diffusion model forms the top level. In one such hierarchy, it is assumed that the boundary is differentiated, and it is shown that this can greatly enhance the robustness of the patterns subsequently formed by the reaction-diffusion model. In the second, a spatial heterogeneity in background environment is first set-up by a simple gradient model. The resulting patterns produced by the reaction-diffusion system may be isolated to specific parts of the domain. The application of such hierarchical models to skeletal patterning in the tetrapod limb is considered.

Predator–prey communities are building blocks of an ecosystem. Feeding rates reflect interference between predators in several situations, e.g. when predators form a dense colony or perform collective motion in a school, encounter prey in a region of limited size, etc. We perform spatio-temporal dynamics and pattern formation in a model aquatic system in both homogeneous and heterogeneous environments. Zooplanktons are predated by fishes and interfere with individuals of their own community. Numerical simulations are carried out to explore Turing and non-Turing spatial patterns. We also examine the effect of spatial heterogeneity on the spatio-temporal dynamics of the phytoplankton–zooplankton system. The phytoplankton specific growth rate is assumed to be a linear function of the depth of the water body. It is found that the spatio-temporal dynamics of an aquatic system is governed by three important factors: (i) intensity of interference between the zooplankton, (ii) rate of fish predation and (iii) the spatial heterogeneity. In an homogeneous environment, the temporal dynamics of prey and predator species are drastically different. While prey species density evolves chaotically, predator densities execute a regular motion irrespective of the intensity of fish predation. When the spatial heterogeneity is included, the two species oscillate in unison. It has been found that the instability observed in the model aquatic system is diffusion driven and fish predation acts as a regularizing factor. We also observed that spatial heterogeneity stabilizes the system. The idea contained in the paper provides a better understanding of the pattern formation in aquatic systems.

First proposed by Turing in 1952, the eponymous Turing instability and Turing pattern remain key tools for the modern study of diffusion-driven pattern formation. In spatially homogeneous Turing systems, one or a few linear Turing modes dominate, resulting in organized patterns (peaks in one dimension; spots, stripes, labyrinths in two dimensions) which repeats in space. For a variety of reasons, there has been increasing interest in understanding irregular patterns, with spatial heterogeneity in the underlying reaction–diffusion system identified as one route to obtaining irregular patterns. We study pattern formation from reaction–diffusion systems which involve spatial heterogeneity, by way of both analytical and numerical techniques. We first extend the classical Turing instability analysis to track the evolution of linear Turing modes and the nascent pattern, resulting in a more general instability criterion which can be applied to spatially heterogeneous systems. We also calculate nonlinear mode coefficients, employing these to understand how each spatial mode influences the long-time evolution of a pattern. Unlike for the standard spatially homogeneous Turing systems, spatially heterogeneous systems may involve many Turing modes of different wavelengths interacting simultaneously, with resulting patterns exhibiting a high degree of variation over space. We provide a number of examples of spatial heterogeneity in reaction–diffusion systems, both mathematical (space-varying diffusion parameters and reaction kinetics, mixed boundary conditions, space-varying base states) and physical (curved anisotropic domains, apical growth of space domains, chemicalsimmersed within a flow or a thermal gradient), providing a qualitative understanding of how spatial heterogeneity can be used to modify classical Turing patterns. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Recent progress and open frontiers in Turing’s theory of morphogenesis’.

The dynamics of reactive flows lies at the heart of several important applications, such as combustion, heterogeneous catalysis, pollutant conversion, pattern formation in biology and many others. In general, LB is well suited to describe reaction-diffusion applications with flowing species. This chapter provides the basic guidelines to include reactive phenomena within the LBE formalism. Reactive flows obey the usual fluid equations, augmented with a reactive source term, accounting for species transformations due to chemical reactions. Such term comes typically in the form of a polynomial product of the mass densities of the reacting species.
