Cross-flow around a group of cylinders is a very common phenomenon in engineering, such as flow around heat exchanger tube arrays. The cross-flow-induced vibration might cause a reduction of equipment life and might even lead to the occurrence of severe accidents. Hence, it is necessary ... Read More
The biological hair-cell is a modular building block of a rich variety of biological sensors. These sensors are responsive to various mechanical properties like vibration, touch, gravitational forces, etc., especially flow. Using micro and nano-fabrication technology, an engineering ... Read More
From microelectronics cooling to biological analysis and wearable therapeutic infusion systems, micropumps are steadily becoming a valuable and ubiquitous tool for fluid transport and thermal management. Hence, the development of novel actuation mechanisms that allow for precise ... Read More
Vibration and Dynamic performances of the rotating machinery are conventionally evaluated based on the dominant structural forces such as the centrifugal forces. The increase in rotational speed, miniaturization and performance, demands for improved and accurate evaluation of the ... Read More
Energy harvesting from a fluid flow using piezoelectric materials is a relatively recent topic that has been investigated experimentally and numerically [1, 2]. Its possible application in natural water currents represents an interesting strategy to easily harvest renewable energy from ... Read More
Digital rock physics (DRP) is an emerging field where a rock sample is imaged, relevant physical processes are simulated numerically on the digital rock sample, and the numerical solutions are used for understanding and interpreting the rock in different in-situ conditions. The use of ... Read More
Organ-on-a-chip microdevices combine microfluidics, MEMS, and biotechnology techniques to mimic the multicellular architectures, tissue-tissue interfaces, physicochemical microenvironments, and vascular perfusion of the body.[1] Such devices are being developed to provide better levels ...

We discuss the use of COMSOL Multiphysics 3.4 in the aerodynamic optimization process of the UNLV solarpowered UAV. We also address the use of COMSOL’s Multiphysics ability and how it was used within the scope of the project. In particular we highlight the development of wingtip devices, ... Read More
Venovenous extracorporeal life support (VV-ECLS) provides gas exchange support for severe lung failure by using an extracorporeal circuit consisting of a blood pump and an artificial membrane lung. Blood is withdrawn from a cannula placed into the inferior vena cava, and returned from ... Read More
