A quantitative theory for phase-locking of meandering spiral waves in a rotating external field

When a rotating external field larger than a critical strength is applied to a meandering spiral with frequency close to the spiral frequency, the spiral may phase-lock to the applied field and perform rigid rotation instead. We show that this conversion happens by stabilization of an unstable circu...
