A Tool for Modelling and Simulation of Irregular Shape and Shrinking Salami During Drying

This paper describes the extension of a previously developed mathematical model of sausage drying in order to account for irregular geometry and volume shrinking during drying. By using the COMSOL Multiphysics®4.3 software, a code was implemented with features of adaptability, reliability and speed...
