Abstract:
1. A computer-readable medium encoded with instructions for execution to perform a method for simulating and analyzing a change in a concentration of a solute in a solution, wherein the solution is encompassed by an interface, the instructions comprising instructions for: (a) determining the concentration at a set of nodes encompassed by the interface, at a first point in time, wherein a spatial cell is associated with each node; (b) identifying a first type of extended node, identifying a second type of extended node, calculating an extended concentration at the first type of extended node using a first method, and calculating an extended concentration at the second type of extended node using a second method distinct from the first method, wherein neither the first nor the second type of extended node is encompassed by the interface; and (c) calculating the concentration at a set of nodes encompassed by the interface, at a second point in time, based upon the concentration at the set of nodes encompassed by the interface at the first point in time and the extended concentration.
