Development of Software for Modeling the Drying Process of Hygroscopic Materials Using Cellular Automata

In this work, software is developed for modeling the drying process of hygroscopic materials using cellular automata. The modeling process using cellular automata is described, and the developed transition rules that consider heat and mass transfer not only within the material but also between stacks are provided. The developed software uses a modern multi-tier client-server architecture, including a database for handling large volumes of computational data. Additionally, the results of the modeling, including their validation based on existing experimental data, are presented and analyzed.
