This paper studies an infinitely fast bimolecular chemical reaction in a two-dimensional bi-periodic Navier-Stokes flow. The reactants in stoichiometric quantities are initially segregated by infinite gradients. The focus is placed on the…
The effects of chaotic advection and diffusion on fast chemical reactions in two-dimensional fluid flows are investigated using experimentally measured stretching fields and fluorescent monitoring of the local concentration. Flow symmetry,…
Text-book concepts of diffusion- versus kinetic-control are well-defined for reaction-kinetics involving macroscopic concentrations of diffusive reactants that are adequately described by rate-constants -- the inverse of the…
A finite-volume method for the steady, compressible, reacting, turbulent Navier-Stokes equations is developed by using a steady-state preserving splitting scheme for the stiff source terms in chemical reaction. Laminar and turbulent…
Theory of fast binary chemical reaction, ${\cal A}+{\cal B}\to{\cal C}$, in a statistically stationary chaotic flow at large Schmidt number ${Sc}$ and large Damk\"ohler number ${Da}$ is developed. For stoichiometric condition we identify…
Traditional chemical kinetics may be inappropriate to describe chemical reactions in micro-domains involving only a small number of substrate and reactant molecules. Starting with the stochastic dynamics of the molecules, we derive a…
This paper is based on a formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations developed by P. Constantin and the first author (\texttt{arxiv:math.PR/0511067}, to appear), where the velocity field of a viscous incompressible fluid is written as the…
In general, before separating from a boundary, the flow moves toward reverse direction near the boundary against the laminar flow direction. Here in this paper, a clue to such reverse flow phenomena (in the mathematical sense) is observed.…
The large deformations and break up of circular 2D liquid patches in a high Reynolds number (Re=1000) gas flow are investigated numerically. The 2D, plane flow Navier--Stokes equations are directly solved with explicit tracking of the…
We study a reaction-diffusion process that involves two species of atoms, immobile and diffusing. We assume that initially only immobile atoms, uniformly distributed throughout the entire space, are present. Diffusing atoms are injected at…
We study the evolution of a localized perturbation in a chemical system with multiple homogeneous steady states, in the presence of stirring by a fluid flow. Two distinct regimes are found as the rate of stirring is varied relative to the…
Numerical simulations describing plunging breakers including the splash-up phenomenon are presented. The motion is governed by the classical, incompressible, two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation. The numerical modelling of this two-phase…
We formulate and study computationally the fluctuating compressible Navier-Stokes equations for reactive multi-species fluid mixtures. We contrast two different expressions for the covariance of the stochastic chemical production rate in…
Most biochemical reactions in living cells rely on diffusive search for target molecules or regions in a heterogeneous overcrowded cytoplasmic medium. Rapid re-arrangements of the medium constantly change the effective diffusivity felt…
In a smooth flow, the leading-order response of trajectories to infinitesimal perturbations in their initial conditions is described by the finite-time Lyapunov exponents and associated characteristic directions of stretching. We give a…
The stochastic variational method is applied to particle systems and continuum mediums. As the brief review of this method, we first discuss the application to particle Lagrangians and derive a diffusion-type equation and the…
We study the statistical properties of stationary, isotropic and homogeneous turbulence in two-dimensional (2D) flows, focusing on the direct cascade, that is on wave-numbers large compared to the integral scale, where both energy and…
Chemical reaction networks offer a natural nonlinear generalisation of linear Markov jump processes on a finite state-space. In this paper, we analyse the dynamical large deviations of such models, starting from their microscopic version,…
A new upscaling procedure that provides 1D representations of 2D mixing-limited reactive transport systems is developed and applied. A key complication with upscaled models in this setting is that the procedure must differentiate between…
The formation of regular precipitate stripes in the wake of moving chemical reaction-diffusion fronts is investigated. Experiments on the $NaOH+CuCl_2$ reaction in PVA hydrogel yield stripes parallel or slightly oblique to the front that…
