We investigate the dynamical behavior arising from a coupled model of bulk diffusion and surface reaction. For the 2D case, implementation of the closest point method suggests the existence of Turing patterns for equal diffusion coefficients.

When two identical nonlinear oscillators are coupled through a 1-D bulk diffusion field, new patterns of synchronization occur that would be absent in the uncoupled system. Furthermore, if the two oscillators are quiescent, the effect of the coupling...
