Contour plots of the inhibited state yB calculated by the CFD code ANSYS Fluent 15.0 using the non-reduced model (7) for different mixing rates. The steady-state spatial distribution of yB shows the clear pattern for low mixing conditions corresponding to no mixing (Left: Re = 0) and low mixing (Center: Re = 1000), while for an almost ideally mixed case (Right: Re = 100000) the yB concentration is evenly distributed within the reaction domain. The numerical values are clearly consistent with the results shown on the right part of Fig. 8 (non-reduced model)
