We consider the effect of the emergence of chimera states in a system of coexisting stationary and flying-through in potential particles with an internal degree of freedom determined by the phase. All particles tend to an equilibrium state with a small number of potential wells, which leads to the emergence of a stationary chimera. An increase in the number of potential wells leads to the emergence of particles flying-through along the medium, the phases of which form a moving chimera.

In order to do this, we numerically obtain one-dimensional Poincaré return map and highlight its bifurcation structure using an analytically constructed piecewise smooth model map. This map reveals the existence of a cascade of period-adding bifurcations, leading to a bursting-spiking transition via blue sky catastrophe.

Two types of coupling terms, the Kuramoto-Daido coupling and the Winfree coupling, are considered. Under the assumption of statistical independence of the phases and the couplings, we derive reduced averaged equations with effective non-random coupling terms.
