The dynamic evolution of a chemical reaction–diffusion pattern and its interaction with hydrodynamic flow is investigated by two‐dimensional velocimetry and spectrophotometry based on microscope video imaging techniques. Oscillatory deformation and turbulent decomposition of chemical wave fronts are observed which are induced by a pronounced oscillatory flow excited spontaneously in a Belousov–Zhabotinsky solution layer with a free surface.
