The effect of acoustically driven fluid motion on boundary-induced pattern formation

Abstract

This work examines the process of boundary-induced pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems. The influence of acoustically induced time-averaged advection that results from the gradient of the Reynolds stress is of particular interest. The presentation will focus on the role that boundary vibration and unsteady fluid motion have on manipulating chemical concentration at the microscale.This work examines the process of boundary-induced pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems.
