the difference between concentration change due to external flow and concentration change due to internal processes
The animated demo for the Continuity Equation with a Sink Term effectively demonstrates the conservation law's dependence on two distinct effects: convective transport and internal generation/destruction. The simulation shows the concentration ( ) of particles decreasing much faster than in a flow-only scenario because the positive divergence ( , the spreading due to outward flow) works in tandem with the uniform, internal sink term ( , or evaporation). This principle highlights that when modeling real-world transport phenomena, any change in local concentration must be mathematically accounted for by balancing the movement of the material across boundaries ( ) with the rate at which the material is created or destroyed inside the volume ( ).
