The throwing power is an important criterion for the industrial use of an electrolyte in electroplating applications. Using the Electrodeposition Module and COMSOL Multiphyiscs® it is possible to simulate the thickness distribution for various electroplating geometries. For a realistic ... Read More
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies requires finding new sources of energy. It turns out that the hydrothermal potential of the lakes would cover a significant part of these renewable energy needs. The existing Thermal Lacustrine Networks (TLNs) are efficient in summer ...

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
Metal foams are interesting materials with many potential uses. They are characterized by a cellular structure represented by a metal (or a metal alloy) and gas voids inside. A common metallic cellular material is a solid sponge, also known as open cell metal foam. Due to their intrinsic ... Read More
The development of microfluidic components for implementation of a lab-on-chip system requires both fluid movements under a controlled environment as well as sensitive detection. This work involves the design and simulation of micro-reactors with integrated heating as well as optical ... 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
Metal reed valves are used for flow rectification in electrohydraulic pumps driven by smart materials at high frequencies but it is difficult to predict their behavior when the surrounding fluid has considerable inertia and viscosity. Simulation of this phenomenon involves modeling the ... Read More
Atomic layer deposition(ALD) is one proven method to deposit ultra-thin films. ALD is advantageous for its atomic-level thickness control and conformity; leading to high quality films. Slow deposition rates for conventional ALD contribute to the impracticality of utilization of this ... Read More
Viscous damping has a significant effect on dynamic performance of the resonators operating within fluid. This work is aimed to find the viscous damping for MEMS torsional paddle operating in air. Interaction of moving structure with the fluid requires a complicated and challenging ... Read More
Introduction: A small-scale supersonic wind tunnel can represent a convenient platform for supersonic flow testing. The scale considered in this work, with maximum cross-sectional area of 1”x1”, requires simpler structure in addition to the low budget costs and minor space ... Read More
