Numerical solution of keller-segel equation using finite difference method and method of lines

Keller-Segel equation is a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) that modelled the movement of cells and organisms in response to chemical attractants, which is known as chemotaxis process. In this study, Keller-Segel (KS) equation is solved numerically by explicit finite difference method (...
