چکیده

We study reaction fronts described by the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation subject to a Poiseuille flow. The fronts propagate with or against the flow located inside a two-dimensional slab. Steady front profiles can be flat, axisymmetric, or nonaxisymmetric, depending on the gap between the plates and the average flow speed. We first obtain the steady front solutions, later executing a linear stability analysis to determine the stability of the fronts. Applying fluid flow can turn initially unstable fronts into stable fronts. Stable steady fronts propagating in the adverse direction of the Poiseuille flow are axisymmetric for slow fluid flows. However, for higher speeds an adverse flow can lead to stable nonaxisymmetric fronts. We also show regions of bistability where stable nonaxisymmetric and axisymmetric fronts can coexist.

Rayleigh-Taylor instability of steady fronts described by the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation.

We study steady thin reaction fronts described by the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation that separates fluids of different densities. This system may lead to hydrodynamic instabilities as buoyancy forces interact with the propagating fronts in a two-dimensional slab. We use Darcy's law to describe the fluid motion in this geometry. Steady front profiles can be flat, axisymmetric, or nonaxisymmetric...

Korteweg-de Vries Equation in Bounded Domains

where μ, ν are positive constants. This equation, in the case μ = 0, was derived independently by Sivashinsky [1] and Kuramoto [2] with the purpose to model amplitude and phase expansion of pattern formations in different physical situations, for example, in the theory of a flame propagation in turbulent flows of gaseous combustible mixtures, see Sivashinsky [1], and in the theory of turbulence...

Stability of planar reactive fronts in external fields

Differential flows of species, which may arise in reactive systems due to external fields such as electric fields or pressure gradients, may significantly affect the characteristics and stability of propagating fronts. A generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation describing the dynamics of perturbations of a planar front in systems with differential flows is derived and analyzed. The analysis sh...
