In this paper an axisymmetric model of annular linear electromagnetic induction pumps using numerical methods and four approaches (two transient and two quasi-stationary) with different complexity is studied. Comparison of integral characteristics is performed between numerical ... Read More
Photonic crystals (PhC) are optical nanostructures that are widely known for their strong spatial and temporal confinement of electromagnetic radiation. Here, we study the resonant optical trapping of a single nanoparticle within a hollow circular photonic crystal cavity. The ... Read More
Conventional eddy current techniques have been used to a great extent for detection of surface breaking defects in conductive materials. However, detection of sub-surface defects is limited due to the single frequency and skin effect phenomena. Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) techniques ... Read More
Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a new imaging technology based on the non-linear magnetisation of magnetic nanoparticles which can be used as a tracer material. In a high speed 1D MPI Device, a sinusoidal signal containing a single frequency generate a time-varying magnetic field via ... Read More
Simulations of streamer discharge was performed by utilizing a space adaptive numerical scheme based on logarithmic representation of mass conservation equations, which governs the transport of charge carriers. Implementation of a model, which describes the propagation of a streamer in ... Read More
It is demonstrated how the RF Module of COMSOL Multiphysics® can be used to approximately model thin conducting wires or cables and how they interact with a surrounding electromagnetic field. Despite being non-stringent the method can reasonably well predict currents induced by an ... Read More
A specific issue in transformer modeling using the finite element method is the consideration of electric sheets or other laminated core materials which are used to reduce eddy currents. It would be impractical to explicitly model a large number of sheets as this would lead to a large ... Read More
Cochlear Implants (CIs) are implantable prostheses that bypass the non-functional inner ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve with electric currents, enabling deaf people to experience sound again. The CI electrode array sits inside the cochlea close to the auditory neurons. An ... Read More
