Abstract

A multigrid finite volume method has been developed to accelerate the solution process for simulating complex biological transport phenomena, involving convection, diffusion, and reaction. The method has been applied to a computational model which includes media flow in a cell-lined cylindrical vessel and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) within the fluid capable of binding to receptors and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) on the cell surface. The differential equations were discretized by the finite volume method and solved with the multigrid V-cycle algorithm. Our work indicates that the multigrid finite volume method may allow users to investigate complex biological systems with less CPU time.
