Abstract: The motion of organization center of three-dimensional untwisted scroll waves in excitable media with single diffusion is studied by singular perturbation method in this paper. The relation of curvature and the linear law are derived for untwisted organization center. These results have explicit physical meaning and are in good agreement with experiments.

Key words: single diffusion, scroll waves, organization center, vortex ring, excitable media
