Solitary waves in autocatalytic reactions, like the iodate-arsenous acid reaction, were studied. Advective flow effects were analyzed, revealing solitary waves with cusp-shaped profiles and distinct eikonal and mixing regimes.

Area of Science:

  • Chemical kinetics
  • Fluid dynamics
  • Nonlinear dynamics

Background:

  • Autocatalytic reactions can form solitary waves, propagating at constant velocity.
  • These waves result from a balance between diffusion and reaction kinetics.
  • Advective flow can significantly alter wave propagation dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the effect of advective flow on autocatalytic reactions.
  • To investigate solitary wave propagation in cylindrical tubes and Hele-Shaw cells.
  • To experimentally and numerically validate theoretical predictions of wave regimes.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental analysis of the iodate-arsenous acid reaction.
  • Numerical simulations using lattice Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (LBK) method.

    Conclusions:

    • Advective flow influences autocatalytic solitary wave propagation.
    • The study validates theoretical predictions regarding wave regimes.
    • Cusp-shaped profiles are characteristic of these solitary waves.
