Abstract
In this paper, we consider a drift-diffusion system with cross-coupling through the chemical potentials comprising a model for the motion of finite size ions in liquid electrolytes. The drift term is due to the self-consistent electric field maintained by the ions and described by a Poisson equation. We design two finite volume schemes based on different formulations of the fluxes. We also provide a stability analysis of these schemes and an existence result for the corresponding discrete solutions. A convergence proof is proposed for non-degenerate solutions. Numerical experiments show the behavior of these schemes.
