摘要

We study the interaction of phase singularities with homogeneous Neumann boundaries in one, two, and three spatial dimensions for the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. The existence of a boundary-induced drift attractor, well known for spiral waves in two spatial dimensions, is demonstrated for scroll waves in three spatial dimensions. We find that a cylindrical Neumann boundary can lock a scroll ring, thus preventing the collapse of its closed filament.
