[Numerical modeling of convection diffusion of endolymph in porous structures of the vestibular apparatus].
The mathematical algorithm of the diffusive model of vestibular reception is discussed. The conditions to reduce arising 3-dim boundary value problem to 1-dim one are found. And it is shown, that separate diffusive canaliculi as a mechanical transducers demonstrate the apparently clear properties of the frequency selectivity relating to their transduction of the endolymph space pressure into the endolymph concentration changes in their outputs. Some numerical experimental results are presented and discussed.
