(A) Detail of skin pattern of a giant pufferfish, which bears resemblance to B. (B) A computational simulation for a simple reaction-diffusion system.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that the organized formation of subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDDs) may be a Turing pattern. Methods: A Java-based computational model of an inferred reaction-diffusion system using paired partial differential equations was used to create topographic images. Reaction kinetics were varied to...

What is a simple reaction-diffusion system?

[โ€“] Nachorella@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

Reaction diffusion systems describe the way things mix. Think of oil and water and how if they start mixed they will separate; a system would describes how that happens. More fun systems can create the sort of patterns you see in the examples and they show up all over the place.
