Oregonator
The Oregonator is a theoretical model for a type of autocatalytic reaction. The Oregonator (Orygunator) is the simplest realistic model of the chemical dynamics of the oscillatory Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction.[1] It was created by Richard M. Noyes at the University of Oregon. It is a portmanteau of Oregon and oscillator.
Earlier, the Brusselator model was proposed by Ilya Prigogine and his collaborators at the Free University of Brussels[2] as a portmanteau of Brussels and oscillator.
The Oregonator is characterized by the reactions
