Dynamics of traveling waves under spatiotemporal forcing.
We study dynamics of traveling waves under spatiotemporal forcing in nonequilibrium systems. Based on the model equations where phase separation and chemical reactions take place simultaneously so that traveling waves are formed in a self-organized manner, we apply a space-time dependent external force. Entrainment and modulation of traveling waves are investigated numerically in one dimension. We develop a theoretical analysis to understand the dynamics obtained.
