Much attention is currently being given to the problem of manipulating fluids at the microscale, with successful applications to fields such as 3D fabrication and biomedical research. An intriguing technique to manipulate fluid flows in a pore is diffusioosmosis. We show both numerically and analytically that a corrugated catalytic pore can act as a micropump even when it is fore-aft symmetric. This phenomenology is possible due to a spontaneous symmetry breaking which occurs when advection rather than diffusion is the dominant mechanism of solute transport. Relaxing the condition of Stokes flow leads to unsteady flow, and persistent oscillations with a tunable frequency appear. We further include the inverse chemical reaction that consumes solute and introduces an additional timescale. Finally, we find that the flow may lose its axial symmetry and hence promote mixing in the low Reynolds number regime.
