A Computational Model Based on the Reaction-Diffusion Machine to Simulate Transportation Phenomena: the Case of Coffee Percolation

  • Conference paper
Book cover Cellular Automata: Research Towards Industry

Abstract

In this work the model of a single-layered Reaction-Diffusion Machine (RDM) [2], [4] is stressed in order verify some features of the proposed computational model for modeling and simulating coffee percolation where transportation and reaction-diffusion processes occur.
