Examples of results obtained from simulations with (\(2D+1\))-CGLE that result in 2D-weak turbulence (also known as defect turbulence) due to the reactive-diffusive process. Up: sequence of four snapshots taking a spiral as the initial condition. Bottom: sequence of four snapshots from a random initial condition. Clearly the top-down configuration (Up) maintains more bilateral symmetry than the bottom-up configuration (bottom). In the latter, due to spiral defects, bilateral asymmetry is more localized, increasing phase turbulence.
