We consider a reaction-diffusion system where some components react and diffuse on the boundary of a region, while other components diffuse in the interior and react with those on the boundary through mass transport. We establish local…

In the boundary layer of multicomponent fluid mixtures, the species-specific mass flux in the wall-normal direction is determined by the combination of turbulent-diffusiophoretic diffusion due to composition gradients, and diffusion due to…

A reaction-diffusion system with mass conservation modelling cell polarity is considered. A range of the parameters is found where the solution converges exponentially to the constant equilibrium and the $\omega$-limit set of the solution…

For a substance diffusing on a curved surface, we obtain an explicit relation valid for very small values of the time, between the local concentration, the diffusion coefficient, the intrinsic spatial curvature and the time. We recover the…

Some models of diffusion-limited reaction processes in one dimension lend themselves to exact analysis. The known approaches yield exact expressions for a limited number of quantities of interest, such as the particle concentration, or the…

A new method is introduced allowing to solve exactly the reactions A+A->inert and A+A->A on the 1D lattice with synchronous diffusional dynamics (simultaneous hopping of all particles). Exact connections are found relating densities and…

Nonintegrable systems thermalize, leading to the emergence of fluctuating hydrodynamics. Typically, this hydrodynamics is diffusive. We use the effective field theory (EFT) of diffusion to compute higher-point functions of conserved…
