Nanoscale Heat Transfer using Phonon Boltzmann Transport Equation

S. Sihn[1,2], and A.K. Roy[2]

[1]Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio, USA
[2]University of Dayton Research Institute, Dayton, Ohio, USA

COMSOL Multiphysics was used to solve a phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) for nanoscale heat transport problems. One dimensional steady-state and transient BTE problems were successfully solved based on finite element and discrete ordinate methods for spatial and angular ... Read More

Modeling Implementation of Smart Materials such as Shape Memory Alloys and Electro-Active Metamaterials

Manuel Collet
PhD
Femto-STInstitute UMR CNRS 6174 Dept Applied Mechanics,
Besancon, France

Manuel Collet is a member of the Department of Applied Mechanics of the FEMTO-ST Institute. He graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Ecole Centrale de Lyon in 1992 and obtained his PhD in 1996 about Active control of vibrating structures by mean of semi distributed ... Read More

A Finite Element Analysis on the Modeling of Heat Release Rate, as Assessed by a Cone Calorimeter, of Char Forming Polycarbonate

D. Statler[1], and R. Gupta[2]
[1]Mid-Atlantic Technology, Research and Innovation Center, South Charleston, WV, USA
[2]Department of Chemical Engineering, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, USA

During the pyrolysis and combustion of polymers, heat is released and is typically measured with a cone calorimeter to better assess the polymer’s flammability. Modeling heat release rate, as assessed by cone calorimetry, has not been extensively studied for char-forming polymers, such ... Read More

The Role of COMSOL Toward a Low-Enriched Uranium Fuel Design for the High Flux Isotope Reactor

J.D. Freels[1]
[1]Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA

Design and safety analyses are underway to convert the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) from a high-enriched uranium (HEU) fuel to a low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. The primary constraint for the project is that the overall fuel plate ... Read More

Modelling Coating Lifetime: First Practical Application for Coating Design

T. Machado Amorim [1], C. Allély[1], J. Caire[2]
[1]Arcelor Mittal Research, Maizieres-les-Metz, France
[2]ENSEEG, Grenoble, France

The corrosion at cut-made edges is significant due to the anode to cathode surface ratio in this region. The major problems are the risks of red rust appearance at the exposed steel surface, and the risks of paint delamination in case of insufficient corrosion protection. The work ... Read More

Simulation Apps for Teaching Engineering Delivered via COMSOL Server™

W. M. Clark [1],
[1] Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA 01609, US

In the Chemical Engineering Department at Worcester Polytechnic Institute we use COMSOL Multiphysics® not only as a modeling tool for research and to teach applied math modeling to advanced students, but also as a convenient tool to help undergraduates learn engineering fundamentals. In ... Read More

Coupled Heat and Mass Transfer Model to Simulate Hygrothermal Behavior of Bio-Based Materials

M. Asli [1], F. Brachelet [1], A. Chauchois [1], E. Antczak [1]
[1] Université d'Artois, Béthune, France

This poster presents a numerical modeling approach for hygrothermal behavior of bio-based materials. The mathematical model describes the heat and moisture transfer through a wall of bio-based materials. The studied wall is subjected to both convective heat transfer and moisture flux ... Read More

Application of COMSOL Multiphysics® Software to Model Temperature Changes in Buildings with PCM Incorporated in Their Elements

N. P. Sharifi [1], A. A. N. Shaikh [1], A. R. Sakulich [1],
[1]Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA, USA

Reducing HVAC energy consumption in buildings has provoked a lot of thought and has, subsequently, drawn a lot of attention. Out of the several methods that have been introduced to achieve this goal, the usage of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in the structural components is one of the ... Read More

Computational Modeling of the Impact of Solar Irradiance on Chemical Degradation of Painted Wall Hangings in a Historical Interior

Z. Huijbregts[1], A. van Schijndel[1], H. Schellen[1], K. Keune[2], M. Eikema Hommes[3,4]
[1]Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
[2]University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
[3]Cultural Heritage Agency, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
[4]Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands

The historic Hofkeshuis in Almelo (The Netherlands) locates a unique work of art: three walls in the rear salon of the private house are covered with an 18th century series of painted wall hangings (Figure 1). The simple and similar pigmentation of the paintings, their original hanging, ... Read More

Some Benchmark Simulations for Flash Flood Modeling

E. Holzbecher [1], A. Hadidi [1],
[1] German University of Technology in Oman, Muscat, Oman

Flash floods are sudden and mostly destructive rushes of water down narrow gullies or over sloping surfaces. They are mostly caused by heavy rainfall in the upstream watershed. They may also appear as result of catastrophic events as dam or levee breaks, or mudslides or debris flow. ... Read More
