Complex dynamics resulting from coupling between oregonators in a series of two CSTRs with recycle

Complex periodic and aperiodic dynamics for the coupling between simple oscillators in a series of two CSTRs with recycle has been investigated. Numerical results are reported with flow rate and recycle ratio as bifurcation parameters. A new route following 1j bifurcation (j can be odd or even numbers depending on the space time and recycle ratio) to chaos has been identified. The so-called "well-mixed limit" depends on the chemical kinetics involved.
