3d patterns: Iso-concentration surfaces and corresponding surface plots of the concentration of component C in a square based box, showing the formation of stationary cylindrical in a as well as stationary half-sphere aggregates at the top and bottom face of the simulation cell in b. The thickness of the simulation cell in b of \(\hbox {d} = 7\) is slightly thinner than the thickness of \(\hbox {d} = 8\) in a. Parameters: \(c_{\rm{A,0}} = c_{\rm{B,0}} = 0.25\), \(\beta =0.15\) and \(t=5 \cdot 10^{5}\)
