Solidification of a Liquid Metal Droplet Impinging on a Cold Surface

Tanai L. Marin,
Faculty of Physics and Mathematics Sciences,
Department of Mining Engineering,
University of Chile,
Santiago, Chile

A method for the solidification of a free surface liquid phase is presented and solved with COMSOL Multiphysiscs using a fixed grid.

In this case, the Level set method with phase re-injection for mass conservation is used to prescribe the movement of the free surface of the liquid...

Nuclear Fuel Behaviour Modelling at the RMC using COMSOL Multiphysics

B.J. Lewis, K. Shaheen, M.J. Welland at Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Royal Military College of Canada Kingston, Ontario Canada

This work was presented at a Nuclear Simulation workshop in Toronto, Canada in June 2009. It demonstrates various aspects of nuclear fuel and safety modeling with COMSOL Multiphysics. The work was made by B.J. Lewis, K. Shaheen, M.J. Welland at Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering,...

Using COMSOL Multiphysics for the Modelling of a Hybrid Linear Stepper Motor

R. Wislati, and H. Haase

In this paper a 2-phase hybrid linear stepper motor (HLSM), also known as Sawyer linear motor, has been considered as a potential approach in Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) Systems for Internal Combustion Engines. Initially, the reluctance network approach (RNA) with lumped parameters has been...

Dr. Christian Deville-Cavellin is a Research Engineer at Ugitech's Research Center, since 1995. Ugitech, member of the Schmoltz & Bickenbach group, is a stainless steel, long products producer. C. Deville-Cavellin is responsible for all research topics related to liquid metal metallurgy and...

Theoretical Modeling of a Thermophotovoltaic System

Mattarolo, G., Bard, J.
ISET, Institut für Solare Energieversorgungstechnik, Kassel

Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) is an emerging technology based on the direct conversion of thermal radiation coming from a heat source into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. The first target for the TPV research is to break the threshold of 10% of efficiency, which would allow to start the...

Computations on the coupled heat and mass transfer during fires in bulk materials, coal deposits and waste dumps

Krause, U., Schmidt, M., Lohrer, C.
Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), Division II.2 “Reactive Substances and systems”, Berlin, Germany

In porous combustible matter low-rate oxidation takes place at ambient conditions. In large stockpiles of bulk goods, coal heaps, waste dumps etc. it may occur that the heat released by the oxidation reaction is not fully transmitted to the surroundings but raises the temperature within the...

Modeling Electrochemical Systems with Multiphysics

R.E. White
University of South Carolina

In this presentation we introduce the concept of Electrochemical Engineering through simulations in COMSOL Multiphysics. Our special case studies are: • a Parallel Plate Electrochemical Reactor, • a Rotating Ring Disk System, • a 3D Lithium Ion Battery, • a Portable Power...

On the Use of COMSOL Multiphysics to Understand and Optimize the Filling Phase in the Injection and Micro-Injection Molding Process

M. Moguedet1, P. Namy2, and Y. Béreaux3
1Pôle Européen de Plasturgie, Bellignat, France
2SIMTEC, Grenoble, France
3LAMCOS, Site de Plasturgie, INSA Lyon, Bellignat, France

The work presented here deals with the simulation of the cavity filling stage of the injection and micro-injection molding process for thermoplastic materials.

COMSOL Multiphysics gives us the means to take into consideration some other aspects usually neglected in commercial 3D softwares...

Stresses in Carotid Plaques using MRI-based Fluid-structure Interaction Models

S. A. Kock1, J. V. Nygaard2, A. K. Niemann1, A. Klærke3, W. Paaske3, E. Falk4, and W. Yong Kim1,4
1MR-Center, Aarhus University Hospital, Skejby, Denmark
2Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center, Aarhus University, Skejby, Denmark
3Dept. of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Aarhus University Hospital, Skejby, Denmark
4Dept. of Cardiology, Aarhus University Hospital, Skejby, Denmark

Incorporating information on plaque composition obtained noninvasively through the use of magnetic resonance imaging could include morphology into carotid plaque risk assessment. Mechanic stresses exerted on the protective fibrous cap may prove of additional value in the assessment of plaque...

Modeling the Coupled Heat and Mass Transfer during Fires in Stored Biomass, Coal and Recycling Deposits

F. Ferrero, M. Malow, A. Berger, and U. Krause
Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und prüfung (BAM), Berlin, Germany

In this paper, advances in the development of a numerical model for predicting the possibility of self-ignition in stored biomass, coal heaps or underground seams and dump deposits are presented.

Results from the performed simulations are compared with experimental data. Finally, some...
