Kinematical Approach

Under certain conditions the dynamics of spiral waves in active media can be described within a kinematical approach. We discuss the importance of curvature effects for the transition from rigidly rotating to outward meandering spirals. To include these effects into the kinematical description we propose a modified boundary condition for the curvature at the tip. This allows to recover a variety of rotation regimes with hypocycloid-like trajectories of the spiral tip corresponding to outward meandering spiral waves which are frequently observed experimentally in active media of quite different nature beyond the instability of rigid rotation.

Nagumo Equation

Spiral concave autowaves are widely implemented in physics, chemistry, hydrodynamics, meteorology and other fields. A mathematical model of spiral concave autowaves based on the Fitzhugh-Nagumo equation and modified axiomatic models are presented. The existence of spiral concave autowaves transferring energy was predicted via computational experiments. Applications of spiral concave autowaves carrying energy in hydrodynamics, generation of tornadoes, breaking waves, and tsunamis and examples of such autowaves in biology and medicine are reviewed and the importance of concave spiral autowaves transferring energy is emphasized.
