Quasichemical Models of Multicomponent Nonlinear Diffusion

Diffusion preserves the positivity of concentrations, therefore, multicomponent diffusion should be nonlinear if there exist non-diagonal terms. The vast variety of nonlinear multicomponent diffusion equations should be ordered and special tools are needed to provide the systematic construction of the nonlinear diffusion equations for multicomponent mixtures with significant interaction between...

Diffusion models of multicomponent mixtures in the lung

In this work, we are interested in two different diffusion models for multicomponent mixtures. We numerically recover experimental results underlining the inadequacy of the usual Fick diffusion model, and the importance of using the Maxwell-Stefan model in various situations. This model nonlinearly couples the mole fractions and the fluxes of each component of the mixture. We then consider a su...

Multicomponent diffusion revisited

The derivation of the multicomponent diffusion law is revisited. Following Furry Am. J. Phys. 16, 63 1948 , Williams Am. J. Phys. 26, 467 1958 ; Combustion Theory, 2nd ed. Benjamin/ Cummings , Menlo Park, CA,1985 heuristically rederived the classical kinetic theory results using macroscopic equations, and pointed out that the dynamics of the mixture fluid had been assumed inviscid. This paper g...

Uphill diffusion in multicomponent mixtures.

Molecular diffusion is an omnipresent phenomena that is important in a wide variety of contexts in chemical, physical, and biological processes. In the majority of cases, the diffusion process can be adequately described by Fick's law that postulates a linear relationship between the flux of any species and its own concentration gradient. Most commonly, a component diffuses down the concentrati...

On epidemic models with nonlinear cross-diffusion

Modelling and simulation of infectious diseases help to predict the likely outcome of an epidemic. A well-known generic model type for the quantitative description of the epidemic evolution dynamics by an ordinary differential equation is provided by so-called SIR models. These models classify a population into “suscepti-ble” (S), “infected” (I) and “recovered” (R) subgroups. One very early and...
