Simulation of Thermal Transport Based Flow Meter for Microfluidics Applications
COMSOL Multiphysics® is used to simulate a thermal transport based flow sensor, which will be embedded in a micro-channel of a Poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) based microfluidic device. The channel height is 100μm and for simulation purposes the lengths has been set to 1.2mm. The heater ... Read More
Thermal Integration of Coupled SOFC System with a High-Performing Metal Hydride Storage
Auxiliary Power Units can play an important role in reducing vehicle emissions, especially in diesel and kerosene driven vehicles. In conventional vehicles the electricity supply comes from a generator that is directly coupled to the propulsion engine. New generation of fuel cell APUs ... Read More
Numerical Analysis of Perforated Microring Resonator Based Refractive Index Sensor
In this work perforated microring resonator based refractive index sensor is presented. Numerical analysis of the microring using COMSOL Multiphysics® was performed. From transmission spectra sensitivity and quality factor of our proposed structure were evaluated. It was shown that ... Read More
Modeling of Charge Transport in Ion Bipolar Junction Transistors
Modeling of an ion bipolar junction transistor (IBJT) is performed using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Our model describes the IBJT which was developed and characterized [1]. The IBJT under consideration consists of an anion-selective collector and emitter, a cation-selective base ... Read More
Modeling of the Material/Electrolyte Interface and the Electrical Current Generated During the Pulse Electrochemical Machining of Grey Cast Iron
The Pulse Electrochemical Machining is especially suitable for the precise production of complex geometric contours with high precision and high surface quality demands in series manufacturing. During this process, the negative structure of an electrode is copied to the workpiece without ... Read More
Optical Forces and Torques Acting on Non-spherical Metallic Nanoparticles
Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) are nowadays used in various areas of biology, chemistry or physics. Focused laser beams, optical tweezers, may be used to manipulate such NPs. However, experimental studies showed that there is a discrepancy between their predicted and observed behavior. ... Read More

Modeling Plant Morphodynamics in Predefined COMSOL Multiphysics® Interface
We used a predefined COMSOL Multiphysics® interface to imitate biological growth and shape change (morphodynamics). We found a set of parameters that supply observed morphodynamics for an Arabidopsis embryo during its transition from globular to heart stage. Read More
Particle Focusing Optimization and Stress Analysis of a Magnetic Horn
A neutrino oscillation experiment aims to the observation of the transformation of a neutrino of a given flavour into a neutrino of a different flavour. A beam of neutrinos is produced through the decay of charged pions which in turn are produced in the collision of high energy ... Read More
