Towards a triphasic Theory of Porous Media-based model for chloride-induced corrosion in reinforced concrete
… thesis is concerned with the initial development of a multiphase material model using the Theory of Porous Media (TPM) for the penetration of intermediary rust product into reinforced concrete subjected to chloride-induced corrosion. Research has shown that although the majority of …

A tri-phasic continuum model for the numerical analysis of biological tissue proliferation using the Theory of Porous Media. Application to cardiac remodelling in rheumatic heart disease
This research is part of an on-going project aimed at describing the mechanotransduction of Rheumatic Heart Disease, in order to study and predict long-term effects of new therapeutic concepts to treat inflammatory heart diseases and ultimately, estimate their effectiveness to prevent heart …

Modelling of brine transport mechanisms in Antarctic sea ice
… its melt, is governed by a complex interaction of the ocean, atmosphere and surrounding continents. Once sea water begins to freeze, physical, biological and chemical processes have implications on the evolution of the sea ice morphology [38]. The distinguishing factor between fresh and sea …

Growth, modelling and remodelling of cardiac tissue: a multiphase approach
… million deaths annually. As such, the attention of this research is initially placed on the importance of the development of a cardiac analysis toolbox with functionality for pathophysiological analysis of the disease. Subsequently, in order to further the understanding of the mechanisms of the …
