The integration of machine learning (ML) techniques into geophysical exploration and underwater mapping has emerged as a transformative approach for interpreting complex sensor data. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for using COMSOL Multiphysics to develop and validate ... Read More
In our dynamic energy landscape, it is increasingly important to utilize energy efficiently and minimize waste. To achieve this, advancing our research beyond traditional battery storage, which has numerous limitations, is crucial. One promising solution is compressed gas energy storage. ... Read More
Closed loop geothermal systems (CLGS) are continuous energy systems that rely on the earth’s constant temperature deep beneath the surface. Pipes, filled with liquid, are drilled down deep into the earth and heated by hot rocks as they run horizontally underground. The heat from the ... Read More
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and finding new ecological and renewable energy sources are among the biggest challenges humanity is facing nowadays [1] [2]. At the same time, power requirements are increasing constantly, where primary energy consumption is intrinsically accompanied by ... Read More
A fully-parameterized 3D model of thermoelectric generator (TEG)-based energy harvesters is built. With the use of a coupled CFD and heat transfer FEM simulation, the temperature field within the complete system (heat source, TEG, cooler, ambient air) is computed. Especially the ... Read More
Cable crossings can affect the performance and ratings of cables. Cables installed adjacently to other power cables are subject to higher temperatures than the expected ones, due to mutual heating between them. In this work, the thermal behaviour of more than 20 cable crossings (Fig.1) ... Read More
Climate change is a short-term problem which can no longer be ignored and affects everything, from global food security to geopolitics and economics: extreme weather phenomena, falling crops yields, decrease of water availability, sea level rise, extinction of several animal species, are ...

Soil sedimentation and consolidation, whether they are naturally or anthropically driven processes, are closely interconnected. While theoretical models are available to separately describe the behaviour of either ‘fluid’ suspensions or ‘solid’ soil, no well-established unified theory ... Read More
Capturing microstructure details is essential to investigate transport of species and reactions taking place at the micro-scale level in a cathode catalyst layer of a PEM fuel cell. To this end, a three-dimensional geometry of the microstructure is generally created/reconstructed using ... Read More
A magnetic field associated with current carrying coil(s) extends towards infinity, but an analytical model is of finite size. In the finite element analysis (FEA) of electromagnetic systems, open space needs to be modelled as close to reality as possible to get reliable results without ... Read More
