Pulsating Fronts in a 2D Reactive Boussinesq System

Analysis of PDEs 2013-05-22 v1

Abstract

We consider a reactive Boussinesq system with no stress boundary conditions in a periodic domain which is unbounded in one direction. Specifically, we couple the reaction-advection-diffusion equation for the temperature, TT, and the linearized Navier-Stokes equation with the Boussinesq approximation for the fluid flow, uu. We show that this system admits smooth pulsating front solutions that propagate with a positive, fixed speed.
