Computing reactive front speeds in random flows by variational principle
Journal Article
We study reactive front speeds in randomly perturbed cellular flows using a variational representation for the front speed. We develop this representation into a computational tool for computing the front speeds without resorting to closure approximations. We demonstrate that the front speeds depend on flow statistics and topologies in a complex and dramatic manner. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
