systems in which reaction terms are coupled to diffusion and advection transports arise in awide range of chemical engineering applications, physics, biology and environmental. in these cases, thecomponents of the unknown can denote concentrations or population sizes which represent quantities andthey need to remain positive. classical finite difference schemes may produce numerical drawbacks s...

tumor growth has a number of features in common with a physical process known as molecular beam epitaxy (mbe). so using the same equations for tumor growth is sensible. however, tumor substrate unlike mbe is not planar that makes necessary a geometrical treatment of the growth equations. a variety of mathematical models have been proposed to describe tumor growth. the justification for these mo...

in this paper, a modeling tool for risk assessment analysis of the movement of hydrocarbon contaminants in the vadose zone and mass flux of contamination release into the groundwater table was developed. also, advection-diffusion-reaction equations in combination with a three-phase equilibrium state between trapped air, soil humidity, and solid particles of unsaturated soil matrix were numerica...

We propose a new method to construct an isotropic cellular automaton corresponding to a reaction-diffusion equation. The method consists of replacing the diffusion term and the reaction term of the reaction-diffusion equation with a random walk of microscopic particles and a discrete vector field which defines the time evolution of the particles. The cellular automaton thus obtained can retain ...
