Reaction-diffusion models are used to describe a variety of physical phenomena in biology, geogolgy and physics , but are probably best-known for descrbing the concentrations of one or more chemicals reacting with and transforming into one another.

Such systems are described by non-linear partial differential equations. As much as a mouthful as that sounds, solutions are well known and studied.

In the renders below, the equation paramaters are adjusted to create something, erm, pretty. The solver was also written in OpenCL (to learn some OpenCL) so the simulation can run relatively fast on a GPU.
