Self-organization of calcium oxalate by flow-driven precipitation

Abstract

We have analyzed the emerging precipitate pattern of calcium-oxalate in a flow system. The circular symmetry is broken because of the hydrodynamic instability at the tip of the underlying gravity current. The presence of a concentration gradient maintained by the flow leads to the enrichment of the thermodynamically unstable calcium oxalate dihydrate form.
