Interfacial hydrodynamic instabilities driven by cross-diffusion in reverse microemulsions.
When two microemulsions are put in contact in the gravity field along a horizontal contact line, cross-diffusion can trigger the transport of one species in the presence of a gradient in concentration of another species. We show here theoretically that such cross-diffusion effects can induce buoyancy-driven convective instabilities at the interface between two solutions of different composition...
متن کاملRole of hydrodynamic flows in chemically driven droplet division
Droplets that are driven away from thermal equilibrium by chemical reactions can exhibit rich dynamic behaviors. When droplet material turns over by chemical reactions a spherical droplet can become unstable and divide spontaneously. We study the effects of hydrodynamic flows in this droplet division. We solve the reaction diffusion equations of a phase separating system coupled to hydrodynamic...
متن کاملHydrodynamic instabilities in ferronematics.
In the hydrodynamic description of ferronematics there are various dynamic magnetic-field effects, linear in the field strength, that are negligible in usual nematics, but can play a role in ferronematics. Here, we investigate theoretically the influence of these new terms on the thermal convection (Rayleigh-Bénard) and the viscous fingering (Saffman-Taylor) instability in ferronematics in the ...
متن کاملHydrodynamic Instabilities in Close Binary Systems Frederic
Equilibrium uid con gurations for close binary systems can become globally unstable. Instabilities arise from the strong tidal interaction between the two components, which tends to make the e ective two-body potential governing the orbital motion steeper than 1=r. As a result, a circular orbit can become unstable to small radial perturbations. The instability can be either secular or dynamical...
متن کاملHydrodynamic instabilities in active cholesteric liquid crystals.
We describe the basic properties and consequences of introducing active stresses, with principal direction along the local director, in cholesteric liquid crystals. The helical ground state is found to be linearly unstable to extensile stresses, without threshold in the limit of infinite system size, whereas contractile stresses are hydrodynamically screened by the cholesteric elasticity to giv...
