Expanding volume within an elastic sphere

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I'm trying to recreate Prakash experiment described in the article "Cavitation of tumoral basement membrane as onset of cancer invasion and metastasis: physics of oncogenic homeorhesis via nonlinear mechano-metabolomics" published by IPOSCIENCE. Basically, a) a homogenous expanding viscous liquid is enclosed within an elastic solid membrane, b) as it expands, the radially-outward flow pushes against the elastic membrane with increasing pressure versus time and c) a bunch of PDEs.

My teacher and I decided to look more into COMSOL but as a newbie to it, it has been a real struggle. Would any of you just push me through the start? I have no idea as how to model it. I have tried Fluid-Solid Interaction configuration but I did not get any lucky at all.

Thank you in advance.
