The General Phenomenon of Pattern Growth and Convection Driven by Chemical Reactions at Liquid Interfaces

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

We have investigated the phenomenon of non-equilibrium pattern growth and onset of convections driven by chemical reactions at a horizontal liquid interface. The phenomenon is exceedingly general. Various possible mechanisms are discussed with the evidence pointing to time dependent hydrodynamic instabilities. Some of the possible mechanisms were tested experimentally and by simulations. Image analysis techniques were developed for quantitative treatment of pattern growth kinetics.
