Simulation of salt diffusion in a pork (bacon) side is a relatively complex task since such a piece often consists of different regions of skin, meat, fat and bone; each with diffusion coefficients that vary by orders of magnitude.
Adding to this complexity is the arbitrary shape and topology of each region; separately and combined.
This paper will present a comprehensive solution for constructing high quality and accurate volumetric meshes based on 3D images obtained by a typical spiral CT scan. Advanced Images Based Meshing technology developed at Simpleware Ltd is utilized, namely both ScanIP and +ScanFE packages.
