DiffusionLimitedProfiles

Concentration profiles in capillary and tissue when exchange is diffusion limited. Includes axial and radial diffusion in a 2-D (x,r,t) partial differential equation problem.

Description

  This is a modified version of a BTEX20 model where the cell
  has been divided into 20 sub-compartments. The exchange
  coefficients between the sub-compartments are calculated to
  solve the radial diffusion equation. This is a two-dimensional
  partial differential equation.

  Solutions are displayed in 3 formats:
    Contours,
    Wire Mesh (RUN LOOPS), and
    Vertically Exaggerated Wire Mesh (RUN LOOPS).

  NOTA BENE: To construct the wire mesh plots requires 21*21=441
  solutions. The program takes significant time to run.

  The vertically exaggerated wire mesh shows that the low
  tissue diffusion coefficient results in a "trailing wave"
  of concentration in the tissue. This model was generated
  by MPC (the Modular Program Constructor).

The equations for this model may be viewed by running the JSim model applet and clicking on the Source tab at the bottom left of JSim's Run Time graphical user interface. The equations are written in JSim's Mathematical Modeling Language (MML). See the Introduction to MML and the MML Reference Manual.
