Abstract
Temporal and spatial structures in the Belousov-Zhabotinskii systems in constant electric and strong magnetic fields are studied in this paper. Unlike a random generation of chemical wave center in a system without the influence of an electromagnetic field we have observed that only one wave forms in the presence of electric and magnetic fields of suitable intensity and induction. Its speed of propagation depends on the connected fields. A theory of this phenomenon has been developed and the obtained results are in a good agreement with experimentally measured dependences of the temporal period of chemical waves on electric field intensity and magnetic field induction.
