Abstract:
A distributed kinetic system that is in homogeneous equilibrium in a flat circular reactor is considered. Its behavior under deformations of the circular domain is studied. It is shown that a domain deformation may lead to the formation of stable spatially inhomogeneous oscillatory solutions in the neighborhood of the homogeneous equilibrium. The possibility of developing chaotic oscillations is discussed. This mechanism of creating spatially inhomogeneous nonlinear oscillations in the distributed kinetic system is called the domain effect.
Key words:distributed kinetic system, deformation of domain, nonlinear oscillations of distributed systems, spatially inhomogeneous oscillations.
