Description :

Theoretical study of the spatio-temporal dynamics resulting from the coupling between chemical reactions and hydrodynamic instabilities at interfaces between miscible or immiscible reactive solutions. Comparison with experiments on buoyancy- and surface tension-driven instabilities on earth and in micro-gravity conditions.
