This work focuses on the derivation of the local variant of the singular boundary method (SBM) for solving the advection-diffusion equation of tracer transport. Localization is based on the combination of SBM and finite collocation. Unlike the global variant, local SBM leads to a sparse matrix of the resulting system of equations, making it much more efficient to solve large-scale tasks. It also allows solving velocity vector variable tasks, which is a problem with global SBM. This paper compares the results on several examples for the steady and unsteady variant of the advection-diffusion equation and also examines the dependence of the accuracy of the solution on the density of the nodal grid and the size of the subdomain.

AbstractThis paper investigates the global well-posedness of a class of reaction–advection–diffusion models with nonlinear diffusion and Lotka–Volterra dynamics. We prove the existence and uniform boundedness of the global-in-time solutions to the fully parabolic systems under certain growth conditions on the diffusion and sensitivity functions. Global existence and uniform boundedness of the corresponding parabolic–elliptic system are also obtained. Our results suggest that attraction (positive taxis) inhibits blowups in Lotka–Volterra competition systems.

We compare the results of two-dimensional, biased random walk models of individual swimming micro-organisms with advection–diffusion models for the whole population. In particular, we consider the influence of the local flow environment (gyrotaxis) on the resulting motion. In unidirectional flows, the results of the individual and population models are generally in good agreement, even in flows in which the cells can experience a range of shear environments, and both models successfully predict the phenomena of gravitactic focusing. Numerical results are also compared with asymptotic expressions for weak and strong shear. Discrepancies between the models arise in two cases: (i) when reflective boundary conditions change the orientation distribution in the random walk model from that predicted by the long-term asymptotics used to derive the advection–diffusion model; (ii) when the spatial and temporal scales are not large enough for the advection–diffusion model to apply. We also use a simple two-dimensional flow containing a variety of flow regimes to explore what happens when there are localized regions in which the generalized Taylor dispersion theory used in the derivation of the population model does not apply. For spherical cells, we find good agreement between the models outside the ‘break-down’ regions, but comparison of the results within these regions is complicated by the presence of nearby boundaries and their influence on the random walk model. In contrast, for rod-shaped cells which are reorientated by both vorticity and strain, we see qualitatively different spatial patterns between individual and advection–diffusion models even in the absence of gyrotaxis, because cells are advected between regions of differing rates of strain.
