Abstract

A curvature-dependent Kuramoto--Sivashinsky equation is derived as a model of flame spreading motion on a cylinder. We start from a three-phases (gas-solid-gas) reaction-diffusion system defined on a cylinder and reduce it to a two-dimensional system by averaging over the thickness. This two-dimensional model includes curvature dependence diffusion coefficients. Matched asymptotic expansion is conducted on the two-dimensional model to construct a traveling wave solution and determine the interface corresponding to the flame front. Finally, a linear stability analysis of the travelling wave solution and geometric arguments to the motion of the front lead to a curvature-dependent Kuramoto--Sivashinsky equation, which is a generalization of a known result obtained by Kagan & Sivashinsky [3].
