Arxiv
|June 19, 2023
Summary
Choosing the right model for 3D biological tissue simulations is crucial. Vertex models may be more suitable than Voronoi models for tissues with mixed cell types due to differences in boundary force representation.
Area of Science:
- Computational Biology
- Biophysics
- Tissue Engineering
Background:
- Coarse-graining scale is critical for modeling biological tissues.
- Vertex and Voronoi models are established methods for simulating confluent tissues.
- Differences between vertex and Voronoi models in 3D heterotypic interfaces are underexplored.
Conclusions:
- Vertex models may offer greater accuracy for 3D simulations of tissues with heterotypic contacts.
- Differences in boundary force representation significantly impact simulation outcomes.
- Model choice is critical for accurately capturing 3D tissue dynamics.

Boundary Conditions: Lossless Lines
120
Consider a single-phase, two-wire, lossless transmission line terminated by an impedance at the receiving end and a source with Thevenin voltage and impedance at the sending end. The line, with length, has a surge impedance and wave velocity determined by the line's inductance and capacitance.
At the receiving end, the boundary condition states that the voltage equals the product of the receiving-end impedance and current. This relationship is expressed as a function of the incident and...

Electrostatic Boundary Conditions in Dielectrics
1.3K
When an electric field passes from one homogeneous medium to another, crossing the boundary between the two mediums imparts a discontinuity in the electric field. This results in electrostatic boundary conditions that depend on the type of mediums the field propagates through.
Consider a case where both the mediums across a boundary are two different dielectric materials. Recall that the electric field and electric displacement are proportional and related through the material's...

Theories of Dissolution: The Danckwerts' Model and Interfacial Barrier Model
348
Various dissolution theories provide insight into the factors that influence the dissolution rate. Danckwerts' Model suggests that turbulence, rather than a stagnant layer, characterizes the dissolution medium at the solid-liquid interface. In this model, the agitated solvent contains macroscopic packets that move to the interface via eddy currents, facilitating the absorption and delivery of the drug to the bulk solution. The regular replenishment of solvent packets maintains the...

Electrostatic Boundary Conditions
527
Consider an external electric field propagating through a homogeneous medium. When the electric field crosses the surface boundary of the medium, it undergoes a discontinuity. The electric field can be resolved into normal and tangential components. The amount by which the field changes at any boundary is given by the difference between the field components above and below the surface boundary.

Boundary Layer Characteristics
189
When a fluid encounters a solid surface, a boundary layer forms due to the interaction between the fluid's motion and the stationary surface. This phenomenon is characterized by a thin region adjacent to the surface where viscous forces dominate, influencing the fluid's velocity profile. The development of the boundary layer begins at the leading edge of the surface and evolves as the fluid moves downstream.As the fluid flows over the surface, friction between the fluid and the wall slows down...
