Research description
A great diversity of phenomena in earth and life sciences is
modeled by partial differential equations (PDEs). These equations
take into account processes like competition (bio-chemical
reactions between competing species), transport of species through
media (flow by advection and diffusion), taxis (reflex movement of
species by external stimulation), biomechanical phenomena
(elasticity), etc. The PDEs can take different forms, but
generically appear as complex systems containing a hyperbolic part
(advection), a parabolic part (diffusion), ordinary differential
equations (chemical reactions), and additional terms that are
specific for the application at hand. For implementing these
complex PDE models in simulation packages, the main and first
requirement is to have reliable, easy-to-use and efficient
numerical algorithms at one’s disposal.
This comprises the general aim of this project which is twofold:
- to develop and analyze novel numerical algorithms for novel biological models
- to implement these algorithms in software packages for computational biologists
