Homogenization of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations for Ion Transport in Charged Porous Media
Effective Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations are derived for macroscopic ion transport in charged porous media. Homogenization analysis is performed for a two-component periodic composite consisting of a dilute electrolyte continuum (described by standard PNP equations) and a continuous dielectric matrix, which is impermeable to the ions and carries a given surface charge. Three new features...
متن کاملSecond-order Poisson Nernst-Planck solver for ion channel transport.
The Poisson Nernst-Planck (PNP) theory is a simplified continuum model for a wide variety of chemical, physical and biological applications. Its ability of providing quantitative explanation and increasingly qualitative predictions of experimental measurements has earned itself much recognition in the research community. Numerous computational algorithms have been constructed for the solution o...
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 کاملTest of Poisson-Nernst-Planck Theory in Ion Channels
The recent Perspectives on Ion Permeation have brought the debate about the applicability of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) theory in ion channels to a sharp focus. Despite the differences in opinion, all sides of the debate agree that the mean field approximation in PNP theory needs to be checked by comparison with a more accurate theory; e.g., Brownian dynamics (BD). Clearly, for such a test...
متن کاملPoisson-Nernst-Planck Systems for Ion Channels with Permanent Charges
Ionic channels and semiconductor devices use atomic scale structures to control macroscopic flows from one reservoir to another. The onedimensional steady-state Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) system is a useful representation of these devices but experience shows that describing the reservoirs as boundary conditions is difficult. We study the PNP system for two types of ions with three regions of ...
