We couple a free solute diffusion model to a model of crystal surface growth represented by, but not limited to, a (2 + 1)-dimensional solid-on-solid (SOS) model confined by a flat surface. We use kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) with dissolution…

We consider a model of aggregation, both diffusion-limited and ballistic, based on the Cayley tree. Growth is from the leaves of the tree towards the root, leading to non-trivial screening and branch competition effects. The model exhibits…

The reaction-diffusion processes in a growing domain involves a dilution term that modifies the properties of the homogeneous state that, in contrast to a fixed domain, depends on time. We study how the dilution term changes the steady…
We revisit a classical continuum model for the diffusion of multiple species with size-exclusion constraint, which leads to a degenerate nonlinear cross-diffusion system. The purpose of this article is twofold: first, it aims at a…
Aqueous foams and a wide range of related systems are believed to coarsen by gas diffusion between neighboring domains into a statistically self-similar scaling state, after the decay of initial transients, such that dimensionless size and…
