Abstract
We investigate the swelling dynamics driven by solvent absorption in a hydrogel sphere immersed in a solvent bath, through a computational model and a numerical study. We extensively describe the transient process from dry to wet and discuss the onset of surface instabilities through a measure of the lack of smoothness of the outer surface and a morphological pattern of that surface with respect to the two material paremeters driving the swelling dynamics.
