Interface Fingering Instability Triggered by a Density-Coupled Oscillatory Chemical Reaction via Precipitation
2019
Escala, Dario M. | Muñuzuri, Alberto P.
A density fingering hydrodynamic instability is triggered by a chemical reaction at the interface between two fluids. The density instability is controlled by the density gradient between both solutions, while the excitability of the bubble-free Belousov–Zhabotinsky-1,4-cyclohexanedione (BZ-CHD) oscillatory chemical reaction controls the importance of the chemistry in the system. Both parameters are thoroughly analyzed, and the mechanism underlying the instability is unveiled. The experimental observations lead us to modify the existing and accepted models for the BZ-CHD reaction within this context. The important role played by precipitation is considered in this context and included into the model. The modified kinetic model once coupled with fluid dynamics along with the precipitation mechanism was able to reproduce the experimental observations.
