Popis: © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. Knowledge about the release behavior of drugs into the human body is essential for correct long-term medication. This paper complements a previous work by providing details of the numerical methods that were used before. Therefore, we shortly explain the experimental setup and state the governing equations. For the numerical solution, two different methods, the finite element method and the finite volume technique, are used. In addition, three different boundary conditions are employed: Dirichlet conditions and classical as well as non-classical convection Robin-type boundary conditions.
