Mathematical Modelling of the Permeation of Gases in Polymers
Abstract
In this work, we focus on the experiments of permeation in order to characterise the transport coefficients and how they depend on the gas concentration. First, a physical and mathematical modelling approach is presented. Two models are used in order to describe the diffusion of gases in polymers. The mathematical modelling leads thereafter to the construction of an unusual optimisation problem. A work complementary to this approach relates to the study of parameter sensitivity, which characterises the coefficient of diffusion and the maximum gas concentration, unknown in the permeation tests. This method of optimisation does not depend on the initialisation of the parameters and makes it possible to determine a unique set of parameters.
