【 摘 要 】

In the last decade nanoporous materials applications in biology and medicine have been widely researched. One of the problems in this field are the transport processes in nanoporous media. The paper presents the numerical model, which simulates the motion of front of the liquid, two-dimensionally permeating inhomogeneous nanoporous medium with altering porosity and pore size. This model allows us to analyze the correlation between the inhomogeneities of the media and the shape and transition of the front. The evolutions of the liquid front profile for nanoporous media with various parameters have been obtained using the program written in C++.
