Hi,
I'm trying to simulate a free shrinking/swelling of a tissue submerged in an infinite bath using biphasic-solute model. I know that the pressure prescribed at the boundary for swelling is equivalent to p=R*T*c and p=-R*T*c for shrinking, but I'm not sure how to simulate the bath itself. Can I prescribe the pressure and concentration straight at the bath/tissue boundary, or should I create an infinite bath that sits on top of the tissue and apply biphasic-solute contact to obtain the solution? I've got both versions running but both produce different results in terms of displacements and strains, and I'm not sure what is the correct path/solution for this?
Regards,
Kinga
