Simulation of a Vortex Ring: Dealing with the Unbounded, Doubly Connected Domain

J. M. Russell [1],
[1] Emeritus Professor, Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne, FL, USA

This talk is for intermediate-level users of COMSOL who, like the present author, are relative newcomers to numerical simulation but have a strong grounding in Hydrodynamics or related areas of Mathematical Physics. Most turn-key Computational Fluid Dynamics packages, including COMSOL ... Read More

On The Modelling Of Electrowetting Using COMSOL Multiphysics

J.F. Dannenberg, J. Brinkert, and E.A.D. Lamers
Reden b.v., Hengelo (ov.), The Netherlands

One of the upcoming technologies in displays is that of the electrowetting displays. A surface can be covered by a colored oil or transparent water using a voltage to increase or decrease the wettability of the surface. A simulation of the behavior of such a thin film of oil in water, ... Read More

Molecular Hydrogen Tracking in an Electrolytic Polishing Process

L. M. A. Ferreira [1],
[1] CERN, Geneva, Switzerland

In a water based electrolytic polishing process, the formation of molecular hydrogen at the cathode is unavoidable and it can contribute to the formation of surface defects at the anode side. This paper presents the work to model and simulate the molecular hydrogen flow inside radio ... Read More

Biosimulation of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Using COMSOL Multiphysics^®

K. Shahim[1], J-M. Drezet[1], J-F. Molinari[2], S. Momjian[3], and R. Sinkus[4]

[4]Waves and Acoustics Laboratory, ESPCI, Paris, France

A numerical finite element model of one human brain is built in COMSOL in order to study a particular form of hydrocephalus, the so called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). The geometry of the ventricles and the skull is obtained by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and imported in ... Read More

Molecular Gas Flow in a Fish Trap Nozzle – Challenge to the Second Law of Thermodynamics

R. Eisenschmid[1]
[1]OPTIMA pharma GmbH, Schwäbisch Hall, Germany

During examination of molecular gas flow in freeze dryers in near-vacuum properties, an idea came up to model a molecular fish trap nozzle. An appropriate shape of this fish trap nozzle allows to separate free flowing molecules into 2 chambers, and obtain a pressure gain in a isothermal ... Read More

2D Axisymmetric Simulation of the Electrochemical Finishing of Micro Bores by Inverse Jet Electrochemical Machining

M. Hackert-Oschätzchen[1], M. Kowalick[1], G. Meichsner[2], A. Schubert[1], B. Hommel[3], F. Jähn[3], M. Scharrnbeck[4], R. Garn[5], A. Lenk[5]

[3]SITEC Industrietechnologie GmbH, Chemnitz, Germany
[4]SITEC Automation GmbH, Chemnitz, Germany
[5]Continental Automotive GmbH, Limbach-Oberfrohna, Germany

In this study the inverse Jet-ECM process of micro bores is investigated by help of multiphysics simulations. Based on the micro bore of a commercial sample nozzle a model geometry was derived. For simulating inverse Jet-ECM a transient model has been developed. Electric currents and ... Read More

Calculation of Inductance of Sparsely Wound Toroidal Coils

A. Pokryvailo [1],
[1] Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corporation, Hauppauge, NY, USA

Analytical methods used for inductance calculation of toroidal coils yield large errors in the case of coils sparsely wound on low permeability cores. Numerical field calculations can provide “exact” figures. We have outlined several simulation methods. Simplifications, assumptions, and ... Read More

Glass Transition of ABS in 3D Printing

M. Rahman [1], N. R. Schott [2], L. K. Sadhu [3],
[1] North South University, Dhaka, Bangladesh
[2] Department of Plastics Engineering, University of Massachusetts - Lowell, Lowell, MA, USA
[3] IRays Teknology Ltd., Dhaka, Bangladesh

In a commercial 3D printer head, plastic ribbon passes through a hot nozzle of an extruder to dispense liquid plastic droplets to construct the model. In this paper a 2D axisymmetric model of a 3D head is considered to study the secondary transition change from below the glass ... Read More

Multiphysics Modelling of a Microwave Furnace for Efficient Solar Silicon Production

N. Rezaii [1], J. P. Mai [1],
[1] JPM Silicon GmbH, Braunschweig, Germany

The JPM Silicon GmbH presents a novel method for the production of solar grade silicon in the microwave oven. This method can specially reduce the energy costs and increase the efficiency of the process. A numerical model is developed which depicts the physical, chemical and ... Read More

Design of MEMS based Polymer Microphone for Hearing Aid Application

V. S. Nagaraja[1], Ramanuja H. S.[1], Deepak K[1], S. L. Pinjare[1]
[1]Electronics and Communication Engineering, Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, Bangalore, Karnataka, India

In this work, a MEMS based condenser microphone [1,2] using Polyimide as the diaphragm has been designed. The microphone structure has a backplate placed on top of the diaphragm. The backplate and the diaphragm are made up of polyimide. The two polyimide plates are separated by air gap ... Read More
