Geologic carbon storage that involves injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) into a subsurface sequestration site provides the vital approach for reducing CO2 emissions into atmosphere and thus addressing climate change issue. One challenge associated with CO2 geologic storage is that pore ... Read More

It has already been demonstrated that fluid models can be used to simulate two-dimensional axisymmetric inductively coupled plasma via implementation in the COMSOL (multi-physics simulation software) platform. In this study, we improved the model and simulated a large scale magnetized ... Read More

Microplasmas at atmospheric pressure are required in many applications, where treatments in normal ambient, with spatial resolution, are important. The interest on such miniaturized sources has increased due to the availability of a new generation of microwave sources based on high power ... Read More

Genetic Algorithms (GA) have proved to be a complete and effective approach for solving optimization problems. This article presents the integration between COMSOL® and a GA optimization tool coded in MATLAB® for the optimization of two thermal systems: a constant area fin in 2D and a ... Read More

Selective Laser Melting (SLM), like many other additive manufacturing techniques, offers flexibility in design expected to become a disruption to the manufacturing industry. The current cost of SLM process does not favor a try-and-error way of research; which gives more room for ... Read More

ALE-methods are frequently used to solve systems of partial differential equations (PDEs) on moving domains. The main idea of these methods is to incorporate the time evolution of the domain into the equations. However, the motion of the domain with respect to time induces convective ... Read More

Atherosclerosis causes the deposition of plaque on the inner walls of arteries, which leads to restricted blood flow. Using the balloon angioplasty procedure, stents can be inserted and expanded in the atherosclerotic artery. We used COMSOL Multiphysics Structural Mechanics, Solid Stress ... Read More

The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is conducting research using infrasound arrays to detect and monitor structures as well as for dynamic structural characterization of large infrastructure. Previous studies have determined that structures radiate acoustic ... Read More

Bio-compatibilized G/GO/RGO composite structures with embedded stearic acid on a bilayer structure model, biomimicking the cellular lipid bilayer are introduced through successive models. The solvent accessible surface of the models (van der Waals surface) and the related MD values were ... Read More

The U.S. Naval Academy has used COMSOL as a research tool for many years. Academic usage of COMSOL for student use has only begun in the last five years. Student involvement comes in four types, course-wide usage, focused course related work, student projects and semester-long research ... Read More
