Speed of reaction diffusion in embryogenesis.
Reaction diffusion systems have been proposed as mechanisms for patterning during many stages of embryonic development. While much attention has been focused on the study of the steady state patterns formed and the robustness of pattern selection, much less is known about the time scales required for pattern formation. Studies of gradient formation by the diffusion of a single morphogen from a ...
متن کاملReaction-diffusion Front Speed Enhancement by Flows
Abstract. We study flow-induced enhancement of the speed of pulsating traveling fronts for reaction-diffusion equations, and quenching of reaction by fluid flows. We prove, for periodic flows in two dimensions and any combustion-type reaction, that the front speed is proportional to the square root of the (homogenized) effective diffusivity of the flow. We show that this result does not hold in...
متن کاملSpeed of traveling fronts in a sigmoidal reaction-diffusion system.
We study a sigmoidal version of the FitzHugh-Nagumo reaction-diffusion system based on an analytic description using piecewise linear approximations of the reaction kinetics. We completely describe the dynamics of wave fronts and discuss the properties of the speed equation. The speed diagrams show front bifurcations between branches with one, three, or five fronts that differ significantly fro...
متن کاملSpeed of reaction-diffusion fronts in spatially heterogeneous media.
The front speed problem for nonuniform reaction rate and diffusion coefficient is studied by using singular perturbation analysis, the geometric approach of Hamilton-Jacobi dynamics, and the local speed approach. Exact and perturbed expressions for the front speed are obtained in the limit of large times. For linear and fractal heterogeneities, the analytic results have been compared with numer...
متن کاملSpeed of Fronts of the Reaction-Diffusion Equation.
In a recent paper Goriely considers the one–dimensional scalar reaction– diffusion equation ut = uxx + f(u) with a polynomial reaction term f(u) and conjectures the existence of a relation between a global resonance of the hamiltonian system uxx+f(u) = 0 and the asymptotic speed of propagation of fronts of the reaction diffusion equation. Based on this conjecture an explicit expression for the ...
