| Popis: | We study oscillatory and chaotic reaction fronts described by the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation coupled to different types of fluid motion. We first apply a Poiseuille flow on the fronts inside a two-dimensional slab. We show regions of period doubling transition to chaos for different values of the average speed of Poiseuille flow. We also analyze the effects of a convective flow due to a Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Here the front is a thin interface separating two fluids of different densities inside a two-dimensional vertical slab. Convection is caused by buoyancy forces across the front as the lighter fluid is under a heavier fluid. We first obtain oscillatory and chaotic solutions arising from instabilities intrinsic to the front. Then, we determine the changes on the solutions due to fluid motion. |
