摘要
Using finite-element method (FEM) effective conductivity of cell suspension was calculated for different cell volume fractions and membrane conductivities. Cells were modeled as spheres having equivalent conductivity and were organized in cubic lattices, layers and clusters. The results were compared to different analytical expressions for effective conductivity and they showed that Maxwell theory is valid also for higher volume fractions.
