Resumen
Multicomponent reactive flows arise daily in many practical applications. Modelling pollutant formation, astrophysical plasma, combustion, atmospheric modelling, for instance, requires us to take into account complex chemistry mechanisms and detailed transport phenomena. The objective of this work is to develop a rigorous theory based on the principles of continuum physics investigating the issue of stability and asymptotic analysis of multicomponent reactive flows. The global existence of solutions in large for the physical system presented here was established by Feiresl E et al 2008 Commun. Pure Appl. Anal. 7 1017–47.
