Abstract

A macroscopic model for describing the ion transport in periodic charged porous media is rigorously derived. Our results can serve as a tool for biophysicists to analyze the ion transport through protein channels. Also, such a model is useful for describing the flow of electrons and holes in a semiconductor device.
