A spiral wave is a type of wave pattern that occurs in various physical and biological systems. It is characterized by a spiraling configuration that can propagate outward in a circular or spiral shape. Spiral waves are commonly observed in several contexts, including: 1. **Physics**: In fluid dynamics, spiral waves can appear in scenarios such as vortex structures in turbulent flows.
