“…In this paper, we compare full twodimensional simulations with corresponding one-dimensional simulations of lamellar models (of varying degrees of sophistication), to evaluate the lat-ter. It is not a priori obvious how quantitatively accurate one should expect the lamellar models to be, given that they generally ignore many details of the striations generated by the flow, for instance: the curvature of the striations [22,23], the nonuniformity of the stretching [24], the nonuniformity of the striation widths [16], the presence of islands in the flow [6,9], and the continual regeneration of striations (by fluid mechanical stretching and folding, which lead to more, thinner striations, which then recombine diffusively). One would not be surprised to find that they perform well at low Péclet numbers, where diffusion rapidly homogenises the reactant distribution, and poorly at high Péclet numbers, where the flow details cited above become more significant.…”
