We show that the general boundary condition DaWax + a@ = 0 (D is the diffusion coefficient and a is a ## constant) in TLM diffusion modelling can be expressed accurately in terms of a voltage reflection coefficient p = ( A x -a A t ) / ( A x + aAt), where Ax is the spatial resolution and At is the

β¦ Synopsis
An approach of using a current-controlled voltage source analogy to account for a general boundary condition of particle or thermal flux in transmission-line matrix (TLM) diffusion modelling has been developed. For mass diffusion, this boundary condition is expressed as D aClax + a C = 0, where C is the concentration, D is the diffusion coefficient, and (Y is a parameter characterizing the out-diffusion mobility across the boundary of interest. Confirmation of the TLM numerical treatment through comparison with analytical solutions is presented. Besides the open-circuit and short-circuit boundaries, the matched-load boundary is also found to be a special case of the present boundary condition. This extension of the boundary treatment allows the highly flexible TLM method to be applied to a greater variety of diffusion problems.
