Kinetic interfaces form the basis of a fascinating, interdisciplinary branch of statistical
mechanics. Diverse stochastic growth processes can be unified via an intriguing nonlinear …

This review describes recent progress in the understanding of the emergence of scale
invariance in far-from-equilibrium growth. The first section is devoted to 'solvable'needle …

How do growing bacterial colonies get their shapes? While colony morphogenesis is well
studied in two dimensions, many bacteria grow as large colonies in three-dimensional (3D) …

The use of fractal concepts in understanding various growth phenomena, such as molecular
beam epitaxy (MBE) or fluid flow in porous media, is increasingly important these days. This …

Reduced models for hydrodynamic turbulence; 4. Turbulence and coupled map lattices; 5 …

The model presented, for the first time, in this paper can predict the spreading of fire in both
homogeneous and inhomogeneous forests and can easily incorporate weather conditions …

In 438 alphabetically-arranged essays, this work provides a useful overview of the core
mathematical background for nonlinear science, as well as its applications to key problems …

A thin solid, burning against an oxidizing wind, develops a fingering instability. The effect is
observed in a narrow gap geometry, where free convection is suppressed. Focusing on the …

We present results from an experimental study on the kinetic roughening of slow combustion
fronts in paper sheets. The sheets were positioned inside a combustion chamber and ignited …

We detail the experimental situation concerning the fingering instability that occurs when a
solid fuel is forced to burn against a horizontal oxidizing wind. The instability appears when …
