      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      We present a detailed study of the chemical reaction A + B f 0 in two dimensions for different initial distributions of reactants as characterized by the structure function. We argue that the long-wavelength components ...

    • Coherence and anticoherence resonance tuned by noise

      Article
      Open Access
      We present numerical evidence and a theoretical analysis of the appearance of anticoherence resonance induced by noise, not predicted in former analysis of coherence resonance. We have found that this phenomenon occurs for ...

    • Competitive evaporation in arrays of droplets

      Article
      Open Access
      We consider the evaporation of periodic arrays of initially equal droplets in two-dimensional systems with open ~absorbing! boundaries. Our study is based on the numerical solution of the Cahn-Hilliard equation. We show ...

    • Effective diffusion in a stochastic velocity field

      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      Analytical results are derived for the effective dispersion of a passive scalar in a stochastic velocity field evolving in a fast time scale. These results are favorably compared with direct computer simulation of ...

    • Evaporation and coarsening dynamics with open boundaries 

      Lacasta Palacio, Ana María; Sagués Mestre, Francesc; Sancho, Jose Maria; Sokolov, Igor M. (Americah Physical Society, 1999-01-31)
      Article
      Open Access
      We present a study of the evaporation dynamics of a substance undergoing a coarsening process. The system is modeled by the Cahn-Hilliard equation with absorbing boundaries. We have found that the dynamics, although of ...

    • Exported oscillator competition: a concept to analyze complex rhythms 

      Lacasta Palacio, Ana María; Sancho, Jose Maria; Sagués Mestre, Francesc (American Physical Society, 2005)
      Article
      Open Access
      We study the interaction between two independent nonlinear oscillators competing through a neutral excitable element. The first oscillator, completely deterministic, acts as a normal pacemaker sending pulses to the neutral ...

    • External fluctuations in front propagation 

      Armero Rovira, J.; Sancho, Jose Maria; Casademunt, Jaume; Lacasta Palacio, Ana María; Ramírez de la Piscina Millán, Laureano; Sagués Mestre, Francesc (American Physical Society, 1996-04-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      We study the effects of external noise in a one-dimensional model of front propagation. Noise is introduced through the fluctuations of a control parameter leading to a multiplicative stochastic partial differential equation. ...

    • Front propagation in spatially modulated media 

      Armero, J.; Lacasta Palacio, Ana María; Ramírez de la Piscina Millán, Laureano; Casademunt, Jaume; Sancho, Jose Maria; Sagués Mestre, Francesc (American Physical Society, 1997-09-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      A two-dimensional reaction-diffusion front which propagates in a modulated medium is studied. The modulation consists of a spatial variation of the local front velocity in the transverse direction to that of the ...

    • Pattern and velocity selection of fronts propagating in modulated media 

      Armero, J.; Lacasta Palacio, Ana María; Ramírez de la Piscina Millán, Laureano; Casademunt, Jaume; Sancho, Jose Maria; Sagués Mestre, Francesc (EDP Sciences, 1996-02-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      We study the problem of pattern and velocity selection of morphologically stable two-dimensional fronts propagating in a spatially modulated medium. The generic system is governed by a local equation and evolves towards a ...

    • Percolation thresholds in chemical excitable media. 

      Sendiña-Nadal, I.; Roncaglia, D.; Vives, D.; Pérez Muñuzuri, Vicente; Gómez Gesteira, Moncho; Pérez Villar, Vicente; Echave, J.; Casademunt, Jaume; Ramírez de la Piscina Millán, Laureano; Sagués Mestre, Francesc (American Physical Society, 1998-08-31)
      Article
      Open Access
      The behavior of chemical waves advancing through a disordered excitable medium is investigated in terms of percolation theory and autowave properties in the framework of the light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. ...

      Article
      Open Access
      Phase separation dynamics in the presence of externally imposed stirring is stuidied. The stirring is assumed independent of the concentration and it is generated with a well-defined energy spectrum. The domain growth ...

    • Study of a bimolecular annihilation process for coarsening reactants
