I have recently started working on a research project related to Belunusov Zhabotinsky reaction by mathematical modeling. Which resources are best because it's details are less available.

I can look out some details and pictures for you, so look back again in an hour or two.

P S and welcome

Don't answer this at the moment as you have 5 posts in your first 24 hours for security reasons.

I would start by looking out the Brusselator, which is a simple non linear mathematical model,

There are lots of papers on Google.

Please give us an idea of the level you are going to be working at and confirm this is a maths rather than a chemistry project.

it is a interdisciplinary project. I am working at high school level.

Thank you that is useful.

Perhaps your school can get hold of this book for you

Chapter 5 is all about the BZ reaction., at high school science level.

You probably know that simple oscillations can be represented by the simple harmonic motion equation Y = Asin(wt).

There are many types of non simple oscillations which are still being studied and the terminology varies as they have wide ranging applications.

The BZ reaction can display several of these including

They are called quasi periodic oscillations, almost periodic oscillations, chaotic oscillations.

The maths of these is beyond High School, however.

You should be able to recognise the Brusellator equation, I mentioned before, as a differential equation but is to difficult for High School to solve so you will just have to accept Poincare's solution.

Go well in you project and let us know how you get on.

You may already know this but perhaps you could use the The Oregonator model?

That's a new one to me. +1
