Starting from real laboratory data, this team will build and analyze abstract mathematical models and generate simulations, predictions and data “in silico” then return to the laboratory with knowledge to aid in the development and enhancement of tangible technologies.
Dr. Raymond Spiteri, University of Saskatchewan
Many fundamental and important scientific and industrial processes can be described in terms of transport phenomena, or processes in which particles are physically displaced from one location to another. Transport phenomena are broadly categorized into three types: transport of mass, transport of energy and transport of momentum. Examples of particular relevance to this project include diffusion of water in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells, flows of ions that control the contraction of myocardial tissue and the sequestration of harmful greenhouse gases as they are emitted from coal-fired power-generating plants. Starting from real laboratory data, this team will build and analyze abstract mathematical models and generate simulations, predictions and data “in silico” then return to the laboratory with knowledge to aid in the development and enhancement of tangible technologies.
