Pressure-driven fluid flow is an inevitable consequence of high pressure processing of porous biological materials confined in a fluid phase. In this study, the fluid migration into porous biomaterials such as fruits and vegetable tissues was fully characterized. In a major part of this study, various computational procedures were introduced to model such transport phenomena.
