Reply to the ‘Comment on “Experimental support for the model of Bray–Liebhafsky oscillatory reaction based on the heterogeneous effects”’ by G. Schmitz, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2025, DOI: 10.1039/D5CP00355E†
Abstract
In order to understand Bray–Liebhafsky oscillator two conceptual approaches are compared. One is based on obtaining good numerical simulations without taking into concern inexorable scientific constraints, and the other is focused on understanding energy flow through the system as a cause of the oscillatory behaviour. Although modeling based on “energetic” principles will not be easier, it will define a more unique direction for investigations since energy and its changes are fundamental parameters defining the dynamics of any system.
