Mathematical Modeling of Drying Processes Using Methods of the Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics and Percolation Theory

“…This approach has been studied in detail by various effective tools of mathematical physics and was applied on a large scale in various engineering and fundamental research fields. [1][2][3] Despite advanced applications related to detailed analysis of stability properties of stationary thermodynamic states by variational principles, [4,5] it has not been translated completely to numerical mathematics. Nevertheless, there were illustrative works [6] indicating further new and valuable numerical methods for modeling the transport processes.…”
