with $D_i^*$ the tracer diffusion coefficient of the $i^{th}$ component, $\delta_{ij}$ the Kronecker delta, $z$ the charge of the species, and $D_n^*$ the tracer diffusion coefficient of the dependent molar fraction (here Ca).
The tracer diffusion coefficient $D_i^*$ can be calculated from an Arrhenius relationship:
\[\begin{equation} \label{arrhenius} D_i^* = D_{0,i} \exp \left( -\frac{E_{a,i} - (P-1)\Delta V^+_i}{RT} \right), -\end{equation}\]
with $D_{0,i}$ the pre-exponential constant, $E_{a,i}$ the activation energy of diffusion, $\Delta V^+_i$ the activation volume of diffusion at 1 bar, $R$ the universal gas constant, $T$ the temperature, and $P$ the pressure.
In DiffusionGarnet.jl, $D_{0,i}$, $E_{a,i}$, and $\Delta V^+_i$ are those of Chakraborty & Ganguly (1992) [2]. The tracer diffusion coefficient of Ca is defined as $0.5D_{Fe}$, following the approach of Loomis et al. (1985) [3].
By defining the PT conditions of the metamorphic event of interest, (3) can be solved for each component, and the diffusion coefficient tensor can be calculated using (2) from the initial major composition data. In DiffusionGarnet.jl, (1) is then discretised in space using finite differences, and the resulting system of ordinary differential equations is solved with ROCK2, a stabilised explicit method (Abdulle & Medovikov (2001) [4]) using the DifferentialEquations.jl ecosystem.
