Electromagnetic actuators are a well-known field where finite element simulations are applied. Magnetic Shape Memory (MSM) actuators represent a new type of smart electromagnetic actuators where the MSM material elongates and contracts when applying a magnetic field. The MSM material ... Read More
INTRODUCTION Our group at ORNL started using COMSOL Multiphysics® software shortly after version 3.0 was released in the Spring of 2004. After 11 years and several releases, the application usage has grown along with number of licenses we are responsible for. This paper will broaden ... Read More
A wide variety of near-field optical phenomena such as apertureless near-field scanning microscopy (ANSM) at optical and terahertz (THz) regimes and surface enhanced Raman scattering relies on the electric field enhancement at the end of a sharp tip. Achieving and controlling this ... Read More
Polymer gels belong to the realm of soft active materials as they are capable of responding to a non-mechanical stimulus – the permeation of a solvent – with a mechanical action – a volume change, thanks to the coupling between different physics. This mechanism of coupling can be ... Read More
The paper reports on an electromagnetic field study of a 765 kV switchyard. The study is performed using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The study involves geometric modelling, finite element analysis, and numerical solution of the linearized equations. For the system studied, it was ... Read More
Introduction: In this work, a CFD model of 2D flow around a fully deployed flow actuator was developed using COMSOL Multiphysics® software and the CFD Module. The results of COMSOL modeling is also compared with the experimental data of the same dimensions actuator. The 100mmX2mm ... Read More
This study deals with a numerical investigation of the melting process of a PCM in a rectangular enclosure differentially heated. COMSOL Multiphysics is used in order to numerically solve Navier-Stokes and energy equations in the considered system. Adopting an enthalpy formulation, one ... Read More
Flows of electrically conducting liquids in external magnetic fields are present in several applications. In this kind of flow, the inhomogeneous magnetic field creates a breaking force on the conducting fluid. As a result, a stagnant zone is formed in the zone affected by the localized ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics was used to simulate the heat flux from battery cells via conjugate heat transfer physics which consist of laminar flow and heat transfer in solids and fluids. Laminar flow function was used to simulate natural convection of air within the sealed enclosure. Heat ... Read More
Gecko foots have inspired researchers to develop designs that can help robots to tread vertically oriented surface. These nanobots find many applications as they can perform a lot of operations more efficiently and also lower the cost of such operations. These can be employed in various ... Read More
