We study the reaction-diffusion process $A+B\to \emptyset$ with injection of each species at opposite boundaries of a one-dimensional lattice and bulk driving of each species in opposing directions with a hardcore interaction. The system…

The empirical speed of travelling reaction-diffusion fronts fluctuates due to the intrinsic shot noise of the reactions and diffusion. Here we study the long-time front speed fluctuations of a stochastic Huxley-Zel'dovich front. It involves…

We consider a generalized degenerate diffusion equation with a reaction term $u_t=[A(u)]_{xx}+f(u)$, where $A$ is a smooth function satisfying $A(0)=A'(0)=0$ and $A(u),\ A'(u),\ A''(u)>0$ for $u>0$, $f$ is of monostable type in $[0,s_1]$…

Reaction fronts evolving in a porous medium exhibit a rich dynamical behaviour. In presence of an adverse flow, experiments show that the front slows down and eventually gets pinned, displaying a particular sawtooth shape. Extensive…
