Normally, power lines for electrical power distribution are shielded such that there is (almost) no magnetic field outside the cable. In a substation, these cables are connected to transformers via unshielded components such as switching boards and busbars. Thus, magnetic fields are ... Read More
In applications like nuclear reactors or particle accelerators, mechanical components near a source of radiation develop radiation damage. This typically means a change in tensile properties and fracture toughness, which depends on the radiation dose (commonly measured in ‘displacements ... Read More
In the manufacturing of high voltage electrical equipment, an important step to guarantee a right dielectric design can be carried out through the prediction of a possible occurrence of the corona effect or, in the worst case, of dielectric breakdown, preferably in early stages. For this ... Read More
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
The separation of RBCs is needed in many biomedical devices. RBCs contain hemoglobin, which in turn consists of iron that helps transport oxygen throughout the body. The permeability of deoxygenated red blood cells is about (1 – 3.9e-6). The permeability of oxygenated red blood cells is ... Read More

Manufacturing of metal component in industry involves many kind of processes where materials experience high temperature and changes of state. Then, oxidation may become a significant topic regarding industrial requirement and specification. This issue is well-known in welding ... Read More
At University College London, Applied Analytical Chemistry MSc course, we have used COMSOL Multiphysics as an alternative to laboratory-based student research projects. Use of computational modelling enabled students to complete their research work remotely while gaining experience in ... Read More
Pulsed DC technology has led to the design of cost-effective deposition systems and to improved film properties, compared to conventional rf systems. In this work, a two-dimensional finite element model is used to investigate the high frequency pulsed DC discharges in nitrogen. The study ... Read More
The knowledge of the behavior of electric arcs between plane electrodes is in high interest due to their presence in industrial applications such as low voltage circuit breakers. In this contribution, numerical simulations of an electric arc displacement due to electro-magnetic forces ... Read More
