Abstract

This work is related to the numerical investigation of two species chemotaxis models in both one and two dimensions. This system in its simpler form is a set of non-linear partial differential equations. First equation represents the dynamics of cell densities and the others are responsible for chemoattractant concentration. The system is known to produce delta-type singularities in finite time. Therefore, a less order accurate numerical schemes are not capable of handling such a complicated spiky solution. A Space Time Conservation Element and Solution Element (CE/SE) method is proposed for solving such systems. This method has distinct attributes which includes treatment of space and time variables in unified fashion. Furthermore, numerical diffusion is reduced on the basis that both conserved quantities and derivatives are anonymous. Due to this feature, diffusion in numerical schemes is inherently reduced. The Nessyahu–Tadmor (NT) central scheme is also implemented for validation and comparison. Several one and two dimensional case studies are carried out. Numerical results obtained through proposed numerical method are analyzed in comparison to Nessyahu–Tadmor (NT) central scheme. Moreover, effects of the different densities and concentration functions are explored to see generic applicability of the proposed method for current system of equations. It is observed that the CE/SE and NT central method has the capability to capture the delta type singularities in the solution profile. However, CE/SE resolves the solution peaks better as compare to NT central scheme.
