Abstract
The spatiotemporal evolution of a chemical system close to a Hopf bifu rcation in a differential flow reactor is studied. The interaction of the Hopf-differential flow induced instabilities for the cubic autocat alator model is determined through the appropriate form of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation for the evolving amplitude. New behaviour, i ncluding spatiotemporal chaos, is observed from this equation. These p redictions are shown also to be a feature of the initial-value problem for the original autocatalator equations.
