Turing pattern formation in a two-layer system: Superposition and superlattice patterns

Authors:

Abstract
Turing patterns in the chlorine dioxide–iodine–malonic acid reaction are studied in a system consisting of two coupled gel layers. Patterns with two wavelengths are observed. Changing the strength of the interlayer coupling causes a transition between a superposition of Turing patterns and a superlattice pattern. The effects of the reactant concentrations on the pattern wavelengths are delineated.
