Abstract The Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction has been modelled by Field and Noyes [5] as a pair of nonlinear parabolic equations. Previous studies of these, both theoretical and numerical, have assumed wave solutions travelling with constant velocity leading to a simplification of the mathematical model in the form of a system of ordinary differential equations. In the present study a finite element Galerkin method is used directly on the original parabolic system for a range of parameter values.
