Food and Drink
Many food products have complex material properties.
Simulations of texture and consistency development and their dependence
on raw materials, processing and cooking are valuable aids to industrial
design and provide significant computational challenges.
Uncertainties in the markets for supplies need to be quantified and
accounted for in the costs of production. From raw materials to storage
and distribution the process must be traceable and safe.
