THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF THE TIME-DEPENDENT NERNST-PLANCK EQUATIONS

H COHEN et al. Biophys J. 1965 Mar.

Abstract

Calculations are reported of the time-dependent Nernst-Planck equations for a thin permeable membrane between electrolytic solutions. Charge neutrality is assumed for the time-dependent case. The response of such a membrane system to step current input is measured in terms of the time and space changes in concentration, electrical potential, and effective conductance. The report also includes discussion of boundary effects that occur when charge neutrality does not hold in the steady-state case.
