The Turing and Benjamin–Feir instabilities are two of the primary instability mechanisms useful for studying the transition from homogeneous states to heterogeneous spatial or spatio-temporal states in reaction–diffusion systems. We consider the case when the underlying reaction–diffusion system is non-autonomous or has a base state which varies in time, as in this case standard approaches, which rely on temporal eigenvalues, break down. We are able to establish respective criteria for the onset of each instability using comparison principles, obtaining inequalities which involve the in general time-dependent model parameters and their time derivatives. In the autonomous limit where the base state is constant in time, our results exactly recover the respective Turing and Benjamin–Feir conditions known in the literature. Our results make the Turing and Benjamin–Feir analysis amenable for a wide collection of applications, and allow one to better understand instabilities emergent due to a variety of non-autonomous mechanisms, including time-varying diffusion coefficients, time-varying reaction rates, time-dependent transitions between reaction kinetics and base states which change in time (such as heteroclinic connections between unique steady states, or limit cycles), to name a few examples.

We consider a nonlocal eigenvalue problem which arises in the study of stability of spike solutions for reaction–diffusion systems with fractional reaction rates such as the Sel'kov model, the Gray–Scott system, the hypercycle of Eigen and Schuster, angiogenesis, and the generalized Gierer–Meinhardt system. We give some sufficient and explicit conditions for stability by studying the corresponding nonlocal eigenvalue problem in a new range of parameters.

ABSTRACTMulti-functionalization of catalytically-active nanomaterials provides a valuable tool for enhancing reaction yield by shifting reaction equilibrium, and potentially also by adjusting reaction-diffusion kinetics. For example, multi-functionalization of mesoporous silica to make the interior pore surface hydrophobic can enhance yield in dehydration reactions. Detailed molecular-level modeling to describe the pore environment, as well as the reaction and diffusion kinetics is challenging, although we briefly discuss current strategies. Our focus, however, is on coarse-grained stochastic modeling of the overall catalytic process for highly restricted transport within narrow pores (with single-file diffusion), while accounting for a tunable interaction of the pore interior with reaction products. We show that making the pore interior unfavorable to products can significantly enhance yield due to both thermodynamic and kinetics factors.

In the microscale structure of a porous electrode, the transport processes are among the least understood areas of SOFC. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) for a porous microscopic media and investigate mass transfer processes with electrochemical reactions by LBM at a mesoscopic and microscopic level. Part of the anode structure of an SOFC for two components is evaluated qualitatively for two different geometry configurations of the porous media. The reaction-diffusion equation has been implemented in the particle distribution function used in LBM. The LBM code in this study is written in the programs MATLAB and Palabos. It has here been shown that LBM can be effectively used at a mesoscopic level ranging down to a microscopic level and proven to effectively take care of the interaction between the particles and the walls of the porous media. LBM can also handle the implementation of reaction rates where these can be locally specified or as a general source term. It is concluded that LBM can be valuable for evaluating the risk of local harming spots within the porous structure to reduce these interaction sites. In future studies, the information gained from the microscale modeling can be coupled to a macroscale CFD model and help in development of a smooth structure for interaction of the reforming reaction and the electrochemical reaction rates. This can in turn improve the cell performance.
