Supramolecular polymers, such as microtubules, operate under non-equilibrium conditions
to drive crucial functions in cells, such as motility, division and organelle transport. In vivo …

Double-diffusive convection is a mixing process driven by the interaction of two fluid
components which diffuse at different rates. Leading expert Timour Radko presents the first …

Chemical reactions with nonlinear kinetic behavior can give rise to a remarkable set of
spatiotemporal phenomena. These include periodic and chaotic changes in concentration …

If we had to formulate in one sentence what this book is about, it might be “How partial
differential equations can help to understand heat explosion, tumor growth or evolution of …

Oscillatory chemical reactions have been drawing the attention of researchers for a number
of decades. More recently, the ability of the reactions to work as the driving force for smart …

Figure 1 shows the front position versus time for one experiment. The initial burst of heat
causes rapid propagation, but the front reaches a steady velocityafter a few minutes. Visual …

The interdisciplinary field of nonlinear chemical dynamics has grown significantly in breadth
and depth over the past three decades. Its subject matter and applications encompass all …

Chemical reactions can interplay with hydrodynamic flows to generate various complex
phenomena. Because of their relevance in many research areas, chemically-induced …

Traveling fronts of polymerization have been observed in unstirred solutions of methacrylic
acid and benzoyl peroxide. Three types of convective instabilities have been observed.(1) …

Surface-bound enzymes can act as pumps that drive large-scale fluid flows in the presence
of their substrates or promoters. Thus, enzymatic catalysis can be harnessed for “on …
