Chemo-hydrodynamic patterns and instabilities

A De Wit - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
By modifying a physical property of a solution like its density or viscosity, chemical reactions
can modify and even trigger convective flows. These flows in turn affect the spatiotemporal …
