We study the dynamics of a system made up of particles of two different species undergoing irreversible quadratic autocatalytic reactions: $A + B \to 2A$. We especially focus on the reaction velocity and on the average time at which the…
We consider a general class of autocatalytic reactions, that has been shown to display stochastically switching behaviour (Discreteness Induced Transitions) in some parameter regimes. This behaviour was shown to occur when either the…

We investigated a nonlinear advection-diffusion-reaction equation for a passive scalar field. The purpose is to understand how the compressibility can affect the front dynamics and the bulk burning rate. We study two classes of flows:…
We study chemical pattern formation in a fluid between two flat plates and the effect of such patterns on the formation of convective cells. This patterning is made possible by assuming the plates are chemically reactive or release reagents…
We describe various types of traveling fronts of bistable reaction-diffusion cellular automata. These dynamical systems with discrete time, space, and state spaces can be seen as fully discrete versions of widely studied bistable…

We have studied the front propagation in a one dimensional case of combustion by solving numerically an advection-reaction-diffusion equation. The physical model is simplified so that no coupling phenomena are considered and the reacting…

We study the interactions of two or more solitary waves in the Adlam-Allen model describing the evolution of a (cold) plasma of positive and negative charges, in the presence of electric and transverse magnetic fields. In order to show that…
We study the steady state response of a dilute monovalent electrolyte solution to an external source with a constant relative velocity with respect to the fluid. The source is taken as a combination of three perturbations: an external force…
We consider a reaction-diffusion system for two densities lying in adjacent domains of $\mathbb{R}^N$. We treat two configurations: either a cylinder and its complement, or two half-spaces. Diffusion and reaction heterogeneities for the two…
Self-oscillations in some oxidation reactions on metal catalysts are associated with periodic oxidation/reduction of the catalyst surface. If the reaction proceeds in a flow reactor at atmospheric pressure, then the reaction dynamics is…

We consider a reaction-diffusion equation with a convection term in one space variable, where the diffusion changes sign from the positive to the negative and the reaction term is bistable. We study the existence of wavefront solutions,…
