Autocatalytic reaction-diffusion processes in restricted geometries

چکیده
We study the dynamics of a system made up of particles of two different species undergoing irreversible quadratic autocatalytic reactions: A + B → 2A. We especially focus on the reaction velocity and on the average time at which the system achieves its inert state. By means of both analytical and numerical methods, we are also able to highlight the role of topology in the temporal evolution of the system.

Exploration of the Significance of Autocatalytic Chemical Reaction and Cattaneo-Christov Heat Flux on the Dynamics of a Micropolar Fluid
During the homogeneous-heterogeneous autocatalytic chemical reaction in the dynamics of micropolar fluid, relaxation of heat transfer is inevitable; hence Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model is investigated in this report. In this study, radiative heat flux through an optically thick medium is treated as nonlinear due to the fact that thermal radiation at low heat energy is distinctly different f...
متن کاملSurveying Diffusion in Complex Geometries. an Essay
The surrounding world surprises us by the beauty and variety of complex shapes that emerge from nanometric to macroscopic scales. Natural or manufactured materials (sandstones, sedimentary rocks and cement), colloidal solutions (proteins and DNA), biological cells, tissues and organs (lungs, kidneys and placenta), they all present irregularly shaped “scenes” for a fundamental transport “perform...
متن کاملTraveling waves of two-component reaction-diffusion systems arising from higher order autocatalytic models
We study the existence and uniqueness of traveling wave solutions for a class of twocomponent reaction diffusion systems with one species being immobile. Such a system has a variety of applications in epidemiology, bio-reactor model, and isothermal autocatalytic chemical reaction systems. Our result not only generalizes earlier results of Ai and Huang (Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinbu...
متن کاملCompetitive autocatalytic reactions in chaotic flows with diffusion: prediction using finite-time Lyapunov exponents.
We investigate chaotic advection and diffusion in autocatalytic reactions for time-periodic sine flow computationally using a mapping method with operator splitting. We specifically consider three different autocatalytic reaction schemes: a single autocatalytic reaction, competitive autocatalytic reactions, which can provide insight into problems of chiral symmetry breaking and homochirality, a...
متن کاملChiral symmetry breaking in a microscopic model with asymmetric autocatalysis and inhibition.
Asymmetric autocatalysis and inhibition have been proposed as key processes in the spontaneous emergence of chiral symmetry breaking in a prebiotic world. An elementary lattice model is formulated to simulate the kinetics of chiral symmetry breaking via autocatalysis and inhibition in a mixture of prochiral reactants, chiral products, and inert solvent. Starting from a chirally unbiased initial...
