Finite volume methods for degenerate chemotaxis model
نویسندگان
چکیده
A finite volume method for solving the degenerate chemotaxis model is presented, along with numerical examples. This model consists of a degenerate parabolic convection– diffusion PDE for the density of the cell-population coupled to a parabolic PDE for the chemoattractant concentration. It is shown that discrete solutions exist, and the scheme converges.

Numerical Methods and Analysis for Degenerate Parabolic Equations and Reaction-Diffusion Systems
This dissertation deals with different aspects of numerical and mathematical analysis of systems of possibly degenerate partial differential equations. Under particular conditions, solutions to these equations in the considered applications exhibit steep gradients, and in the degenerate case, sharp fronts and discontinuities. This calls for a concentration of computational effort in zones of st...
متن کاملVolume Filling Effect in Modelling Chemotaxis
The oriented movement of biological cells or organisms in response to a chemical gradient is called chemotaxis. The most interesting situation related to self-organization phenomenon takes place when the cells detect and response to a chemical which is secreted by themselves. Since pioneering works of Patlak (1953) and Keller and Segel (1970) many particularized models have been proposed to des...
متن کاملA coupled anisotropic chemotaxis-fluid model: The case of two-sidedly degenerate diffusion
In this article, the mathematical analysis of a model arising from biology consisting of diffusion, chemotaxis with volume filling effect and transport through an incompressible fluid, is studied. Motivated by numerical and modeling issues, the global-in-time existence of weak solutions to this model is investigated. The novelty with respect to other related papers lies in the presence of two-s...
متن کاملAdvection-Driven Support Shrinking in a Chemotaxis Model with Degenerate Mobility
We derive sufficient conditions for advection-driven backward motion of the free boundary in a chemotaxis model with degenerate mobility. In this model, a porous-medium-type diffusive term and an advection term are in competition. The former induces forward motion, the latter may induce backward motion of the free boundary depending on the direction of advection. We deduce conditions on the gro...
متن کاملPositive nonlinear CVFE scheme for degenerate anisotropic Keller-Segel system
In this paper, a nonlinear control volume finite element (CVFE) scheme for a degenerate Keller– Segel model with anisotropic and heterogeneous diffusion tensors is proposed and analyzed. In this scheme, degrees of freedom are assigned to vertices of a primal triangular mesh, as in finite element methods. The diffusion term which involves an anisotropic and heterogeneous tensor is discretized on...
