NPP for thin membranes

Nernst-Planck-Poisson Model for the description of electrodiffusion in thin membranes. It allows obtaining the potential and concentration profiles inside the membrane.

The Nernst-Planck equation relates the flux of ions to diffusion and migration processes and the Poisson equation describes the electric field occurring due to the movement of ions in the system. Software uses Chang-Jaffe boundary conditions for concentrations and Dirichlet boundary conditions for potential.
