Finite Volume Model to Study the Effect of Buffer on Cytosolic Ca2+ Advection Diffusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Calcium [Ca] is an important second messenger which plays an important role in signal transduction. There are several parameters that affect its concentration profile like buffer source etc. The effect of stationary immobile buffer on Ca concentration has been incorporated which is a very important parameter needed to be taken into account in order to make the model more realistic. Interdependence of all the important parameters like diffusion coefficient and influx over [Ca] profile has been studied. Model is developed in the form of advection diffusion equation together with buffer concentration. A program has been developed using finite volume method for the entire problem and simulated on an AMD-Turion 32-bit machine to compute the numerical results. Keywords— Ca profile, buffer, Astrocytes, Advection diffusion, FVM

Nowadays oil spill are one of the most important problem in the humans life. Usually advection and dispersion occur because of chemicals, physicals and biological processes that related by properties of oil and other things. These processes are evaporation, dispersion and so on. When oil spills on the sea, it is extended and made oil slick. Increasing these kinds of events cause developing many...

Systems in which reaction terms are coupled to diffusion and advection transports arise in a wide range of chemical engineering applications, physics, biology and environmental. In these cases, the components of the unknown can denote concentrations or population sizes which represent quantities and they need to remain positive. Classical finite difference schemes may produce numerical drawback...
