Abstract

This paper studies the optimisation of a numerical model and a computer code to solve numerically reaction–diffusion processes in environmental or biological systems with complicated geometries and mixtures of reactions including time and spatial scales extending over several order of magnitude. In particular, we consider different grid refinement techniques in the framework of a lattice Boltzmann solver for reaction–diffusion systems. Two new grid refinement methods are proposed, which are both quantitatively good. The first method is based on the matching of the concentration profiles and fluxes across two adjacent sub-domains, while the second method is based on nested subgrids. The focus of our study is the trade off between accuracy and CPU time. We show how the different parameters of the method, such as the refinement factors, the location of the boundary between different grids or coupling methods at the interface affect the quality of the numerical solution and the efficiency of the method.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
