Study Contaminant Removal in Membrane Dialysis Devices with an App
We discuss treating renal failure with hemodialysis, analyzing contaminant concentration in a membrane dialysis device, and optimizing a membrane dialysis device with a numerical modeling app.
Designing Effective Transdermal Drug Delivery Patches with Simulation
Transdermal drug delivery (TDD) patches are more effective and convenient than traditional drug delivery methods. See how Veryst Engineering simulated the diffusion process in a TDD patch.
Analyze a Vacuum Dryer’s Speed with Multiphysics Modeling
Vacuum drying is often used to dry heat-sensitive materials such as food and pharmaceuticals. Here, we showcase a model that simulates the vacuum drying of a wet cake.
How to Model Large-Strain Viscoelasticity in COMSOL Multiphysics®
Learn how to model large-strain viscoelastic deformation, a common behavior exhibited by polymers and biological tissues, in COMSOL Multiphysics®.
Evaluating an Insulin Micropump Design for Treating Diabetes
Researchers from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology used simulation to develop a MEMS-based micropump that could administer insulin injections in a safe and painless way.
Improving Vascular Access for the Treatment of ESRD Patients
By combining CFD simulations with shape optimization techniques, biomedical engineers can better understand and predict vascular access for renal disease treatments.
Study Radiofrequency Tissue Ablation Using Simulation
Killing cancerous cells, shrinking collagen, alleviating pain. These are just some of the medical purposes of radiofrequency tissue ablation, a procedure that relies on targeted heat.
Using Simulation to Analyze Arterial Wall Mechanics
Studying arteries from a mechanical standpoint requires a reliable model that can fully describe the anisotropic nonlinear response of this biological soft tissue.
