A multiphase multiscale model for nutrient limited tissue growth

In this work, an effective macroscale description is derived for the growth of tissue on a porous scaffold. A multiphase model is employed to describe the tissue dynamics; linearisation to facilitate a multiple-scale homogenisation provides an effective macroscale description, which incorporates dep...
