With the advancements in aerospace technology, micro-electromechanical systems, hybrid data centres and microfluidics, the miniature size electronic chips in such applications are need of the century. The major challenge in microelectronic chips is to eliminate the generated heat for ... Read More
The paper illustrates the use of COMSOL (via the “Coefficient-Form PDE” option) for obtaining the relativistic quantum mechanics wave function Ψm(x,y,z,t), m=1,4 as a solution to the time dependent Dirac equations. Once having Ψm(x,y,z,t), it can be used to compute the probability ... Read More
Increasing demand for new technology, products and processes to provide improved performance, achieve proof of concept quicker, offer higher quality and meet demands for on-time and on-budget delivery have put increasing pressure on scientist and engineers to predict performance before ...

COMSOL Multiphysics is used to simulate natural convection and its impact on peak operating temperatures of solid-sate lighting in thermally adverse conditions. PDE modes in the general form are used in conjunction with a thin-surface conduction formulation in the weak form. COMSOL is ... Read More
Neuromodulation is the use of electromagnetic fields to modulate the human nervous system, typically to treat neurological disorders. Electroceuticals is an ambitious program to modulate any nerve, anywhere, anytime, for any reason — to treat disease, disorders, and enhance or interface ... Read More
During the basic operation of a lithium-sulfur (Li-S) cell, sulfur molecules are required to undergo a complex mix of electrochemical and chemical reaction processes. To date, almost all modeling of Li-S cell behavior has been undertaken using electroneutral, structurally homogenized, ... Read More
Due to the coupling of foam flow with foam generation step, the earlier studies on foam flow have not led to consistent results. An increase in flow rate to obtain ?P vs. Q data changes the foam under investigation itself. The controlled experiments carried out earlier in our group ... Read More
A 3-D COMSOL model was established to investigate the heat and mass transfer in a hollow fiber membrane (HFM) module for direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD). Membrane distillation is a separation process that relies on vapor pressure gradients to drive the production of purified ... Read More
Sensors have diverse applications ranging from medical field to space explorations. They convert physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, humidity etc: - into an electrical output. The discovery of piezoresistivity property of silicon and germanium led to miniaturization of ... Read More
Uncertainty in COMSOL Multiphysics® software simulations due to (a) model parameter uncertainties and (b) mesh-induced truncation errors, is estimated using a design-of-experiments approach [1, 2, 3], and a nonlinear least squares logistics fit method [4, 5], respectively. Examples to ... Read More
