I am actually simulating 1D Fick's second diffusion law in steels, quantitatively. I am using a grid spacing of 1 Å for better resolution, though the inter-atomic distance in steels is around 2.8 Å. The other parameters are also converted to Å scale. I presume the concentration term is a field here without any physical significance. Can I proceed with this assumption of finer grid spacing? Also I would appreciate any information regarding the understanding of concentration profile in 1D, compared with the actual 3D case with references.
Thank you.
