How do I re-write the Nernst-Planck equation in PDE Toolbox form?

Hiya, really struggling with re-arranging the Nernst-Planck equation to specify coefficients:

In the form that PDE Toolbox requires:

I understand that:

m = 0

d = 1

f = 0

But besides that I have no idea how to specify co-efficients 'a' and 'c' to form this equation, due to the addition of the electric field component.

Any wisdom much appreciated!!

Hi,

You can use the following rule to solve the Nerst-Plank equation and reduce it to a form required by PDE toolbox.

Hi, I also have the same question. Except in my ase, the electrical feild can be regarded as constant

Similarly, i don't understand how to consider the second term in the right side in that form. Can you please explain more about the product rule? Are there part of pdepd function?
