Abstract:A numerical method to efficiently solve for mixing and reaction of scalars in a twodimensional flow field at large Péclet numbers but otherwise arbitrary Damköhler numbers is reported. Flow disorder often leads to the formation of lamellar structures for the reactants, thus altering the observed reaction rates. We consider a strip of one reactant in a pool of another reactant, both of which are advected with a known velocity field. We first establish that the conditions under which the system may be described … Show more
