Spatial Organization in the Reaction A + B --> inert for Particles with a Drift

We describe the spatial structure of particles in the (one dimensional) two-species annihilation reaction A + B --> 0, where both species have a uniform drift in the same direction and like species have a hard core exclusion. For the case of equal initial concentration, at long times, there are three relevant length scales: the typical distance between similar (neighboring) particles, the typical distance between dissimilar (neighboring) particles, and the typical size of a cluster of one type of particles. These length scales are found to be generically different than that found for particles without a drift.

Asymptotic behavior of A + B --> inert for particles with a drift

We consider the asymptotic behavior of the (one dimensional) two-species annihilation reaction A + B --> 0, where both species have a uniform drift in the same direction and like species have a hard core exclusion. Extensive numerical simulations show that starting with an initially random distribution of A's and B's at equal concentration the density decays like t^{-1/3} for long times. This process is thus in a different universality class from the cases without drift or with drift in different directions for the different species.
