An simple analytical model for the calculation of the resonance frequency of coils typical consists of a network of inductance, capacitance and resistance. Calculating these three parameters based on spatial geometry is not easy in most cases. The finite element method as used in COMSOL ... Read More
The resonance conditions for surface plasmons are influenced by the type and amount of material on a surface. Full insight into surface plasmon resonance requires quantum mechanics considerations. However, it can be also described in terms of classical electromagnetic theory by ... Read More
Large-area, light-weight electromagnetic protection (EP) structures are needed to protect sensitive microwave sensors and communications systems from high-power microwave (HPM) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) threats. This paper presents the use of COMSOL Multiphysics® for ... Read More
Trefoil cable formation is used where three phases are carried by three single core power cables, rather than a single three phase multicore cable. The advantage of installing three single cores in such a configuration is that it minimises the induction of eddy currents, therefore ... Read More
The use of grating couplers to couple conventionally phased and polarized light near vertically in and out of optical slab or film waveguides [1] represents an attractive method to interface optical fiber to photonic ICs. Previously developed grating coupler designs use transversely ... Read More
The research in magnetic confinement fusion is carried out through electromagnetic machines, with a toroidal geometry, where a hot plasma of heavy hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium) is contained in a vacuum vessel. Due to the very high temperatures reached by the plasma, strong ... Read More
Multiphysics processes manifest in turbo-generators due to the leakage electromagnetic field of the stator and rotor end winding and its associated effects at machine frontal end. Such processes are a compilation of coupled phenomena having different electromagnetic, thermal, fluid flow ... Read More
We consider the problem of calculating forces on high current solid conductors, as is present e.g. in substations[1]. This is of importance for the design of the station, in particular for the conductor geometry and mechanical support. The full calculation includes a treatment of the ... Read More
Spontaneous emission -- an electron in an excited state of an emitter spontaneously decays to another state with lower energy -- plays an important role in determining the performance of light-emitting diodes, fluorescent dyes, colorants, solar cells, etc. The efficiency of spontaneous ...

Offshore operations, using Robotically Operated Vehicles (ROVs) in areas with high ambient temperatures require ampacity limitations to be established. Specifically, the risk of overheating ROV umbilicals and tethers when running at high power, due to multiple layers on winch drums is a ... Read More
