On the possibility of reduction of dissipative structure models to a simple form
Abstract:
A multicomponent reaction-diffusion system containing two different space scales (contrasting system) is considered. It is shown that if the system answers several conditions enumerated, it can be reduced to a bicomponent system which describes a dissipative structure either of a peak or of a step type. While in the first case the original and the final systems are equivalent only in the neighbourhood of zero, in the second case the equivalence is more general as the solution of these systems does not leave the region for which the procedure of reduction was developed.

This process starts with a thin layer, saturated with the drug, forming at the interface between the solid and liquid. The solute then diffuses from this layer into the main solution. The Noyes-Whitney equation suggests that the rate of dissolution relies on the diffusion...
