Recent advances in non-destructive imaging tools such as CT and MRI have resulted in the routine availability of high-resolution, quantitative 3-D images of a variety of objects such as humans, animals, biological specimens, manufactured devices, geological core samples, archeological artifacts and agricultural products. At the same time, significant advances have been made in computational modeling software that provides cost-effective 3D modeling of complex processes. These software packages are widely available to a number of Canadian researchers in a broad range of disciplines, and can be applied to investigations involving: mechanics, fluid dynamics, optical propagation, electron transport, radiation dosimetry, heat transfer, diffusion and other transport phenomena.
