New Poisson-boltzmann Type Equations: One Dimensional Solutions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equation is conventionally used to model the equilibrium of bulk ionic species in different media and solvents. In this paper we study a new PoissonBoltzmann type (PB n) equation with a small dielectric parameter 2 and nonlocal nonlinearity which takes into consideration of the preservation of the total amount of each individual ion. This equation can be derived from the original Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) system. Under Robin type boundary conditions with various coefficient scales, we demonstrate the asymptotic behaviors of one dimensional solutions of PB n equations as the parameter approaches to zero. In particular, we show that in case of electro-neutrality, i.e., α = β, solutions of 1-D PB n equations have the similar asymptotic behavior as those of 1-D PB equations. However, as α 6= β (local non-electroneutrality), solutions of 1-D PB n equations may have blow-up behavior which can not be found in 1-D PB equations. Such a difference between 1-D PB and PB n equations can also be verified by numerical simulations.

Electrostatic potential as well as the local volume charge density are computed for a macromolecule by solving the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE) using the finite element method (FEM). As a verification, our numerical results for a one dimensional PBE, which corresponds to an infinite-length macromolecule, are compared with the existing analytical solution and good agreement is found. As a ma...

This paper concerns the asymptotic analysis of the linearized Euler limit for a general discrete velocity model of the Boltzmann equation. This is done for any dimension of the physical space, for densities which remain in a suitable small neighbourhood of global Maxwellians. Providing that the initial fluctuations are smooth, the scaled solutions of discrete Boltzmann equation are shown to hav...
