Abstract
A phenomenological model of wave propagation in illuminated Langmuir monolayers is constructed. Numerical simulations and theoretical analyses of this model reveal that an interplay between the spontaneous splay deformation and the anisotrpoic photo-excitation leads to the wave propagation. This model well reproduces all the qualitative features of the phenomenon.
