Description

We present an extensible Python-based numerical solver for stiff source-driven reaction-diffusion systems. It is currently being utilized to model the temporal and spatial evolution of liquid-phase N₂-H₂-H₂O radiolysis systems by considering Fickian diffusion, mass-action kinetics, and radiolytic production. The generalized design of the solver also makes it adaptable for modeling molecular cloud astrochemistry, dark matter and neutrino detectors, and electroweak baryogenesis.
