FEM Analysis of Flamelet Wrinkling in a Diffusion Flame
One can hardly get the exact analytic solution of a full time-dependent convection-diffusion equation, for describing the dynamics of a non-premixed flamelet. The analytic solution of the linearized form with such a model was studied by MATLAB®. And also, a numerical computation was made ... Read More
Numerical Study of Smoldering Combustion of Activated Carbon in Ⅱ Iodine Absorber
Iodine absorber is a widely used purification equipment for purifying air in a nuclear power plant. In China, the common type is Ⅱ iodine absorber. Impregnated activated carbon is the main absorber within the iodine absorber. Because of the decays exothermic of radioactive iodine, heat ... Read More

数值模拟牺牲阳极法阴极保护电位分布
研究结果表明，海水中钢结构设备的腐蚀问题触目惊心，通常会造成设备损坏、性能降低。由此可见，控制腐蚀是一项十分重要的任务。 钢结构设备的防腐保护主要采用阴极保护和涂层保护两种方式，然而，由于涂层自身不可避免的缺陷以及施工过程中导致的缺陷，腐蚀仍将在以上造成的缺陷处发生。因此，在接触海水的部位，为了消除涂层缺陷而造成的腐蚀，通常根据钢结构的实际情况和使用状态，采用阴极保护的方法。电位是阴极保护工程中，对控制和监视阴极保护效果进行评价的一项重要指标，因而，非常有必要去了解被保护设备表面上的电位分布。 使用Comsol进行阴极保护数值模拟计算时，步骤如下： （1）选择物理场 ...
