摘要：

If an excitable medium is moving with relative shear, the waves of excitation may be broken by the motion. We consider such breaks for the case of a constant linear shear flow. The mechanisms and conditions for the breaking of solitary waves and wave trains are essentially different: the solitary waves require the velocity gradient to exceed a certain threshold, while the breaking of repetitive wave trains happens for arbitrarily small velocity gradients.
