N, T_E and T_L are a matrix, either 2d or 3d, which can be represented as points on a grid. k_N, k_E and k_L are depending on the value of (respective) N, T_E and T_L, i.e. k_{N, 11}=k_N(N_{11}). I am not sure if that qualifies the k-values as matrix/vector values, or as scalar.

Maxi -- but that still doesn't make any sense. In your equations, you have (for example)
  d/dt N + nabla (k_N N)

If N is a matrix, then d/dt N is also a matrix. If k is a scalar, then
  nabla (k_N N)
is either a rank-3 tensor (if nabla is the gradient) or a scalar (if nabla is the divergence). Either way, you cannot add it to the matrix that you have from d/dt N.

So, before thinking about how to solve these equations, it is important to figure out what exactly the equations actually represent.
