摘要
Chemical and biological reactions at fluid-solid interfaces are central to a broad range of porous material applications and research. Pore-scale solute transport limitations can reduce reaction rates, with marked consequences for a wide spectrum of natural and engineered processes. Recent advances show that chaotic mixing occurs spontaneously in porous media, but its impact on surface reactions is unknown. We show that pore-scale chaotic mixing significantly increases reaction efficiency compared to nonchaotic flows. We find that reaction rates are well described in terms of diffusive first-passage times of reactants to the solid interface subjected to a stochastic restart process resulting from Lagrangian chaos. Under chaotic mixing, the shear layer at no-slip interfaces sets the restart rate and leads to a characteristic scaling of reaction efficiency with P\'eclet number, in excellent agreement with numerical simulations. Reaction rates are insensitive to the flow topology as long as flow is chaotic, suggesting the relevance of this process to a broad range of porous materials.
