Summary: The efficiency of a high-flux dialyzer in terms of buffering and toxic solute removal largely depends on the ability to use convection-diffusion mechanism inside the membrane. A two-dimensional transient convection-diffusion model coupled with an acid-base correction term was developed. A finite volume technique was used to discretize the model and to numerically simulate it using the MATLAB software tool. We observed that small solute concentration gradients peaked and were large enough to activate the solute diffusion process in the membrane. While CO\(_{2}\) concentration gradients diminished from their maxima and shifted toward the end of the membrane, HCO\(^{-}_{3}\) concentration gradients peaked at the same position. Also, CO\(_{2}\) concentration decreased rapidly within the first 47 minutes while optimal HCO\(^{-}_{3}\) concentration was achieved within 30 minutes of the therapy. Abnormally high diffusion fluxes were observed near the blood-membrane interface that increased diffusion driving force and enhanced the overall diffusive process. While convective flux dominated total flux during the dialysis session, there was a continuous interference between convection and diffusion fluxes that call for the need to seek minimal interference between these two mechanisms. This is critical for the effective design and operation of high-flux dialyzers.
