AfterMath Live Electrochemical Simulation Engine

The AfterMath Live electrochemical simulation engine employs a fast quasi-explicit finite difference (FQEFD) algorithm for semi-infinite linear diffusion utilizing an exponentially expanding space grid. Successive iterations during the simulation are updated using the DuFort-Frankel approach. This method has been found to give highly accurate results as compared to theory. More information about the history and development of electrochemical simulation algorithms can be found in the research publications and textbooks listed below.
