This paper introduces the CAD user interface software developed to support example-driven simulations using the PAK finite element code. Built upon years of research and development by the authors, CAD represents a custom-built platform for three-dimensional model setup and result visualization, tightly integrated with the PAK solver. It facilitate...

A water supply system with radial wells (RWs) extends usually over tens of kilometers horizontally and tens of meters deep within the soil. Water flows through the soil and then through several lateral screens to the vertical shaft. Lateral screens represent perforated pipes with lengths in meters and diameters measured in centimeters. A common app...

Material transport by diffusion is present in nature, as well as in living organisms as a vital process. The basic and generally used is a phenomenologically established law, named Fick’s law, It states that the material flux is proportional to the concentration gradient and that the material flows from the higher to lower concentration. Howe...

Metastasis involves the dissemination of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from the primary tumor, their survival in the bloodstream, and eventual colonization of distant organs. Adhesive interactions with platelets, leukocytes, and endothelial cells are critical to CTC survival and extravasation. Platelet adhesion enhances CTC viability and promotes ...

Solvent removal by diffusion from a polymer solution occurs in various technological processes, such dry spinning of synthetic silk-like fibers. There, it is important to determine the diffusion coefficient which is dependent on the solvent concentration, assuming the validity of Fick’s law. In order to prove the internal diffusion within the...

This study investigates the drug release performance of electrospun composite nanofiber mats, which hold significant promise as drug carriers for site-specific delivery in therapeutic applications such as cancer therapy. Predicting drug release rates from poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanofibers produced via emulsion electrospinning is c...

Huxley-type muscle models offer a physiologically grounded description of cardiac contraction but remain computationally prohibitive for large-scale, multi-scale simulations. This article reviews surrogate modeling strategies that alleviate these costs for ventricular biomechanics, with emphasis on data-driven (RNN/TCN/GRU) and physics-informed (PI...

In this paper, we give a short overview of the basic concept of stress integration for inelastic material models. This methodology was introduced by the author, initially for thermo-elasticplastic and creep deformation of metals, termed as ‘effective-stress-function’ (ESF), and then generalized to the ‘governing parameter method&r...
