Drift of spiral waves in the complex ginzburg-landau equation due to media inhomogeneities
We test the asymptotical theory of dynamics of spiral waves by applying it to inhomogeneity-induced drift of the spiral waves in the Complex Ginzburg-Landau equation for two different types of weak media inhomogeneities and demonstrate good quantitative agreement with numerical simulations for both.
