Title

C10 - Wave collision in a pair of spirals

Description

C10: Colliding spiral waves, as already shown in Image C5, are shown here in 3D perspective. At the colliding fronts one can see a trough caused by a mutual reduction of the excitation front size due to the reaction-diffusion mechanism.
