Chemo-hydrodynamics and reaction-driven instabilities
摘要
Physical situations where a fluid, which contains chemicals, is in motion are ubiquitous within both the natural and industrial world. These situations include transport of pollutants throughout the ocean and waterways, oil recovery, and carbon sequestration. In many of these situations, chemicals act as passive scalars in the fluid field, not affecting the flow but rather being allowed to diffuse and be advected by the background velocity.
