A hybrid mass transport finite element method for Keller-Segel type systems
We propose a new splitting scheme for general reaction-taxis-diffusion systems in one spatial dimension capable to deal with simultaneous concentrated and diffusive regions as well as travelling waves and merging phenomena. The splitting scheme is based on a mass transport strategy for the cell density coupled with classical finite element approximations for the rest of the system. The built-in mass adaption of the scheme allows for an excellent performance even with respect to dedicated mesh-adapted AMR schemes in original variables.
