✦ Synopsis

Diffusion problem with variable diffusion coefficient in a spherical biological system is investigated. Also included in this study is the biological reaction of the Michaelis-Menten type. The problem formulated consists of a highly nonlinear differential equation which, however, can be efficiently solved by the orthogonal collocation method on a digital computer. The effects of the dimensionless governing parameters on the transient and steady state concentration responses are parametrically examined for the diffusion system with and without biological reaction.

In his paper Lin (1979) outlines a method of examining diffusion into a sphere with a concentration-dependent diffusion coefficient and Michaelis-Menten uptake kinetics. Lin advocates the use of an orthogonal collocation method due to Villadsen and Stewart (1967) to derive an approximate solution to

The short parton production phase in high-energy heavy-ion collisions is treated analytically as a nonlinear diffusion process. The initial buildup of the rapidity density distributions of produced charged hadrons within τp 0.25 fm/c occurs in three sources during the colored partonic phase. In a tw
