Numerical methods are proposed for an advanced Poisson-Nernst-Planck-Fermi (PNPF) model for studying ion transport through biological ion channels. PNPF contains many more correlations than most models and simulations of channels, because…
We have developed a molecular mean-field theory -- fourth-order Poisson-Nernst-Planck-Bikerman theory -- for modeling ionic and water flows in biological ion channels by treating ions and water molecules of any volume and shape with…
This is an early but comprehensive review of the PNP Poisson Nernst Planck theory of ion channels. Extensive reference is made to the earlier literature. The starting place for this theory of open channels is a theory of electrodiffusion…
The Poisson-Nernst-Planck-Bikermann (PNPB) model, in which the ions and water molecules are treated as different species with non-uniform sizes and valences with interstitial voids, can describe the steric and correlation effects in ionic…
Ion transport through narrow channels is described by the coupled Poisson--Nernst--Planck--Stokes equations (PNPS) on a continuum scale. However, direct numerical simulations in two or three dimensions of boundary value problems for small…
The flow of ions through permeable channels causes voltage drop in physiological nanodomains such as synapses, dendrites and dendritic spines, and other protrusions. How the voltage changes around channels in these nanodomains has remained…
Effective Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations are derived for macroscopic ion transport in charged porous media under periodic fluid flow by an asymptotic multi-scale expansion with drift. The microscopic setting is a two-component…
The molecular mechanism of ion channel gating and substrate modulation is elusive for many voltage gated ion channels, such as eukaryotic sodium ones. The understanding of channel functions is a pressing issue in molecular biophysics and…
A modified Poisson-Nernst-Planck system in a bounded domain with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions is analyzed. It describes the concentrations of ions immersed in a polar solvent and the correlated electric potential due to the…
We consider the Poisson-Nernst-Planck system which is well-accepted for describing dilute electrolytes as well as transport of charged species in homogeneous environments. Here, we study these equations in porous media whose electric…
A macroscopic model to describe the dynamics of ion transport in ion channels is the Poisson-Nernst-Planck(PNP) equations. In this paper, we develop a finite-difference method for solving PNP equations, which is second-order accurate in…
The Poisson-Nernst-Planck system of equations used to model ionic transport is interpreted as a gradient flow for the Wasserstein distance and a free energy in the space of probability measures with finite second moment. A variational…
In order to describe the dynamics of crowded ions (charged particles), we use an energetic variation approach to derive a modified Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) system which includes an extra dissipation due to the effective velocity…
We present a nonlocal electrostatic formulation of nonuniform ions and water molecules with interstitial voids that uses a Fermi-like distribution to account for steric and correlation effects in electrolyte solutions. The formulation is…
In traditional hydrodynamic theories for ionic fluids, conservation of the mass and linear momentum is not properly taken care of. In this paper, we develop hydrodynamic theories for a viscous, ionic fluid of $N$ ionic species enforcing…
The Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations are fundamental for modeling ion transport in electrochemical systems, capturing the intricate interplay of concentration gradients, electric fields, and ion fluxes essential for applications such…
The main goal of this work is to examine the qualitative effect of ion sizes via a steady-state boundary value problem. We study a one-dimensional version of a Poisson-Nernst-Planck system with a local hard-sphere potential model for ionic…
In this research, we explore how permanent charges affect the movement of ionic currents through ion channels. We use a quasi-one-dimensional classical Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) model to study two types of ions, one positively charged and…
This study investigates the flux ratios of ionic flows using Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) models. The flux ratio measures the effect of permanent charge on the ion fluxes and can exhibit bifurcation, where a small parameter change causes a…
The Poisson--Nernst--Planck (PNP) equations have been widely applied to describe ionic transport in ion channels, nanofluidic devices, and many electrochemical systems. Despite their wide applications, the PNP equations fail in predicting…
