  • Numerical Simulations of Seepage in Dikes Using unsaturated and Two-Phase Flow Models

    Modeling of water flow in variably saturated porous media, including flood dikes, is often based on the Richards equation, which neglects the flow of pore air, assuming that it remains at constant atmospheric pressure. However, there is also evidence that the air flow can be important, especially when the connectivity between the pore air and atmospheric air is lost. In such cases a full two-phase air-water flow model should be...

  • Modeling the debonding process of osseointegrated implants due to coupled adhesion and friction

    Publication

    - Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology - Year 2023

    Cementless implants have become widely used for total hip replacement surgery. The long-term stability of these implants is achieved by bone growing around and into the rough surface of the implant, a process called osseointegration. However, debonding of the bone–implant interface can still occur due to aseptic implant loosening and insufficient osseointegration, which may have dramatic consequences. The aim of this work is to...
