Description
Summary:For a dissolved compound, a stationary transport equation containing a barodiffusion term is obtained. The compound distribution is approximated for the case of a network of thin pipes, and is given by the first non-harmonic pressure approximation term. Numerical simulations of the compound distribution and its approximation are considered for the case of two simple two-dimensional domains. The proposed equation is able to describe inhomogeneities in the stationary compound distribution between the branching vessels. Further, the approximation sufficiently describes the inhomogeneities.
