  • In this paper, we introduce a numerical approach to solve heat-diffusion equation with discontinuous diffusion coefficients in the three dimensional rectangular domain. First, we study the support operator method and suggest a new method, the continuous velocity method. Further, we apply both methods to a diffusion process for neurotransmitter release in an individual synapse and compare their results.
