Microfluidics Model
Overview Diffusion Degradation Simulation
In our first spatiotemporal model, we wanted to find out if an Acetaldehyde gradient would be formed at all. The idea was to generate it as an equilibrium of Acetaldehyde diffusion out of the reservoir into our channel and Acetaldehyde degradation by the cells in it. In order to answer this question, we modeled a spatiotemporal reaction-diffusion system, first in 2D with MATLAB and then in 3D with COMSOL Multiphysics.
