The electrodissolution of metal electrodes exhibits often sustained oscillations of the current density. We study the spatio-temporal dynamics of a metal disk electrode embedded in an insulator in a cylindrical electrochemical cell with a ring-shaped CE in the oscillatory region. The chosen cell geometry introduces a strong radial parameter dependence into the system. For low conductivity the dynamics is spatio-temporally chaotic. A small aspect ratio of the cell supports 2-dimensional space-time chaos on the entire disk electrode. For larger aspect ratios and thus larger parameter gradients, however, we observe a ‘self-confinement’ of the turbulent dynamics to the central part of the disk electrode, the outer ring of the electrode exhibiting angularly uniform oscillations. It can be expected that the state of confined chaos is not restricted to electrochemical systems but can be established also in other dynamical systems by introducing an appropriate parameter gradient.
