Multiphysics Modeling of a Fluorine Production Cell
Gaseous fluorine plays a major role in the nuclear industry since it is used to produce uranium hexafluoride, whose physical properties are the key to classical uranium enrichment processes. The fluorine production process is based on the electrolysis of an anhydrous HF-composed molten ... Read More
Using COMSOL® for the Development of the UK’s Second Hyperloop Prototype
Hyperloop is a future concept of mass transportation proposed by Elon Musk. It uses electromagnetic propulsion to accelerate a passenger or cargo pod through a low-pressure tube. HYPED, the University of Edinburgh’s Hyperloop Team has created a prototype that uses linear halbach arrays ... Read More
Modeling the Hyperloop with COMSOL®: on the Design of the EPFLoop Pressurized Systems
The Hyperloop is a concept system targeting passenger transportation aiming to carry people in a pod running in a high vacuum tube at 1200 km/h. In 2015, SpaceX announced that they would sponsor a Hyperloop pod design competition, because of their interest in helping to accelerate the ... Read More
The Numerical Challenges in Multiphysical Modeling of Laser Welding with ALE
The interaction of high power laser beam with metallic materials produces a number of interconnected phenomena that represent a serious challenge for numerical modeling, especially for creation of auto-consistent models. Additional difficulty consists in lack of data on materials ... Read More
Computational Biophysics in COMSOL®: FSI-Simulations of Cells in a Microfluidic Device
INTRODUCTION The mechanical properties of biological cells are promising biomarkers to differentiate for example cell phenotypes, cell states or between healthy and unhealthy cells with applications ranging from research facilities to medical laboratories [1, 2]. Real-time deformability ... Read More
Thermo-Fluid-Metallurgical Modeling and Parametric Study of Laser-Based Powder Bed Fusion Process
Laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a promising additive manufacturing technology, where metallic parts are produced in a layer-wise manner. At each step, a rapid-moving laser irradiates and subsequently melts predefined zones of a relatively thin layer of fine spherical metal ... Read More
Application for Construction and Numerical Analysis of New Melting Elements
ETI is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of fuses. Different standard sizes, rated voltages, rated currents and tripping characteristics mean more than 750 different types of products. Additionally, our customers sometimes require fuses specifically designed for their needs. Our ... Read More
Magneto-Mechanical-Thermal Couplings for the Pulsed Magnetic Technology with Single-Turn Coils
Single turn coils produce AC and transient magnetic fields in pulsed magnetic technologies for which magneto-harmonic and transient magnetic analysis can be primarily performed. We suggest studying one single turn coil example made of a conducting massive coil, an optional conducting ... Read More
Design of an AC Transformer in the MHz Range
Due to the Paschen law the ignition voltage for plasma increases proportionally to electrode gap and pressure between electrodes. Atmospheric plasmas operating in the MHz range, being of great interest for surface treatment, require therefore high voltage power supplies, even though in ... Read More
Experimental Setup to Investigate the Liquid Water Content in Snow
Snow can exist in a wide range of temperatures. Its behavior changes especially around its melting point. A better understanding for wet snow is essential for snow pack stability, the effect of water percolation and friction between ski and wet snow surface. Technical details about ... Read More
