A Flux-Corrected Finite Element Method for Chemotaxis Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
An implicit flux-corrected transport (FCT) algorithm is developed for a class of chemotaxis models. The coefficients of the Galerkin finite element discretization are adjusted in such a way as to guarantee mass conservation and keep the cell density nonnegative. The numerical behaviour of the proposed high-resolution scheme is tested on the blow-up problem for a minimal chemotaxis model with singularities. It is also shown that the results for an Escherichia coli chemotaxis model are in good agreement with experimental data reported in the literature.

Numerical Simulation of Chemotaxis Models on Stationary Surfaces
In this paper we present an implicit finite element method for a class of chemotaxis models, where a new linearized flux-corrected transport (FCT) algorithm is modified in such a way as to keep the density of onsurface living cells nonnegative. Level set techniques are adopted for an implicit description of the surface and for the numerical treatment of the corresponding system of partial diffe...
متن کاملNovel Axial Flux Brushless Resolver Analysis and Optimization Using 3D Finite Element and d-q Model Method
Resolvers are widely used in electric driven systems especially in high precision servomechanisms. Both encapsulated and pancake resolvers suffer from a major drawback: static eccentricity (SE). This drawback causes a significant increase in resolver output position error (RPE) which could not be corrected electronically. To reduce RPE, this paper proposes a novel structure with axial flux. Pr...
متن کاملA positivity-preserving finite element method for chemotaxis problems in 3D
We present an implicit finite element method for a class of chemotaxis models in three spatial dimensions. The proposed algorithm is designed to maintain mass conservation and to guarantee positivity of the cell density. To enforce the discrete maximum principle, the standard Galerkin discretization is constrained using a local extremum diminishing flux limiter. To demonstrate the efficiency an...
متن کاملImplicit FEM-FCT algorithm for compressible flows
The flux-corrected transport (FCT) methodology is generalized to implicit finite element schemes and applied to the Euler equations of gas dynamics. The underlying low-order scheme is constructed by applying scalar artificial viscosity proportional to the spectral radius of the cumulative Roe matrix. All conservative matrix manipulations are performed edge-by-edge which leads to an efficient al...
متن کاملAlgebraic Flux Correction I Scalar Conservation Laws
This chapter is concerned with the design of high-resolution finite element schemes satisfying the discrete maximum principle. The presented algebraic flux correction paradigm is a generalization of the flux-corrected transport (FCT) methodology. Given the standard Galerkin discretization of a scalar transport equation, we decompose the antidiffusive part of the discrete operator into numerical...
