In this paper, we derive a one-dimensional convection-diffusion model for a rarefied gas flow in a two-dimensional curved channel on the basis of the Boltzmann (BGK) model. The flow is driven by the temperature gradient along the channel walls, which is known as the thermal creep phenomenon. This device can be used as a micro-pumping system without any moving part. Our derivation is based on th...

The paper gives the numerical stencil for the two-dimensional convection diffusion equation and the technique of elimination, and builds up the new iterative scheme to solve the implicit difference equation. The scheme’s convergence and its higher rate of convergence than the Jacobi iteration are proved. And the numerical example indicates that the new scheme has the same parallelism and a high...

In this paper, we consider a PDE system arising in corrosion modelling. This system consists in two convection-diffusion equations on the densities of charge carriers and a Poisson equation on the electric potential. Boundary conditions are Robin boundary conditions. We discretize each equation by a finite volume scheme and we prove the convergence of the scheme towards a weak solution to the i...

We make use of fractional derivative, recently proposed by Caputo and Fabrizio, to modify the nonlinear Nagumo diffusion and convection equation. The proposed fractional derivative has no singular kernel considered as a filter. We examine the existence of the exact solution of the modified equation using the method of fixed-point theorem. We prove the uniqueness of the exact solution and presen...

Crystal dissolution may include three component processes: interface reaction, diffusion and complications due to convection. We report here a theoretical and experimental study of crystal dissolution in silicate melt without convection. A reaction-diffusion equation is developed and numerically solved. The results show that during non-convective crystal dissolution in silicate melt, the interf...

In this paper, a modification of finite integration method (FIM) is combined with the radial basis function (RBF) method to solve a time-fractional convection-diffusion equation with variable coefficients. The FIM transforms partial differential equations into integral equations and this creates some constants of integration. Unlike the usual FIM, the proposed method computes constants of integ...
