A Stabilized Finite Element Method for Modified Poisson-Nernst-Planck Equations to Determine Ion Flow Through a Nanopore.
The conventional Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations do not account for the finite size of ions explicitly. This leads to solutions featuring unrealistically high ionic concentrations in the regions subject to external potentials, in particular, near highly charged surfaces. A modified form of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations accounts for steric effects and results in solutions with finite ion c...
متن کاملA Wasserstein Gradient Flow Approach to Poisson-Nernst-Planck Equations
The Poisson-Nernst-Planck system of equations used to model ionic transport is interpreted as a gradient flow for the Wasserstein distance and a free energy in the space of probability measures with finite second moment. A variational scheme is then set up and is the starting point of the construction of global weak solutions in a unified framework for the cases of both linear and nonlinear dif...
متن کاملError analysis of finite element method for Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations
In this paper we study the a priori error estimates of finite element method for the system of time-dependent Poisson–Nernst–Planck equations, and for the first time, we obtain its optimal error estimates in L∞(H1) and L2(H1) norms, and suboptimal error estimates in L∞(L2) norm,with linear element, and optimal error estimates in L∞(L2) norm with quadratic or higher-order element, for both semia...
متن کاملPoisson-Nernst-Planck equations in a ball
The Poisson Nernst-Planck equations for charge concentration and electric potential in a ball is a model of electro-diffusion of ions in the head of a neuronal dendritic spine. We study the relaxation and the steady state when an initial charge of ions is injected into the ball. The steady state equation is similar to the Liouville-Gelfand-Bratú-type equation with the difference that the bounda...
متن کاملAn Error Analysis for the Finite Element Approximation to the Steady-State Poisson-Nernst-Planck Equations
Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations are a coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations consisting of the Nernst-Planck equation and the electrostatic Poisson equation with delta distribution sources, which describe the electrodiffusion of ions in a solvated biomolecular system. In this paper, some error bounds for a piecewise finite element approximation to this problem are derived. S...
