Small separation between reactants, not exceeding $10^{-8}-10^{-7}cm$, is the necessary condition for various chemical reactions. It is shown that random advection and stretching by turbulence leads to formation of scalar-enriched sheets of…

Many approaches to modelling reaction-diffusion systems with anomalous transport rely on deterministic equations and ignore fluctuations arising due to finite particle numbers. Starting from an individual-based model we use a…
Diffusion-limited association reactions are ubiquitous in nature. They are particularly important for biological reactions, where the reaction rates are often determined by the diffusive transport of the molecules on two-dimensional…
We study kinetics of single species reactions ("A+A -> 0") for general local reactivity Q and dynamical exponent z (rms displacement x_t ~ t^{1/z}.) For small molecules z=2, whilst z=4,8 for certain polymer systems. For dimensions d above…

The modelling of linear and nonlinear reaction-subdiffusion processes is more subtle than normal diffusion and causes different phenomena. The resulting equations feature a spatial Laplacian with a temporal memory term through a time…
Consider a particle diffusing in a confined volume which is divided into two equal regions. In one region the diffusion coefficient is twice the value of the diffusion coefficient in the other region. Will the particle spend equal…
