Metal hydrides are a widely-used method for storing and releasing hydrogen chemically under moderate conditions. This paper will present how highly dynamic metal hydride storage has been simulated and optimized using COMSOL Multiphysics. It will be shown how mass, energy and momentum ... Read More
In the paper we examine the accuracy of various meshes for different model regions and simple differential equations in 2D and in 3D. We study the potential equation for a single irregular domain (2D testcase 1), for a simple domain with irregular sub-domains (2D testcase 2) and a 3D ... Read More
The analyzed MEMS oscillator is composed by a spring (beam) supported mass that needs to vibrate with a high Q-factor in the horizontal plane. Nevertheless, the transverse motion needs to be highly damped (low Q-factor). The purpose of the work was to explore different system ... Read More
Fin tube heat exchangers are widely used in air conditioning systems. Various fin structures have been proposed and studied in literature to enhance their heat transfer performance. However, enhancement in heat transfer is often accompanied by pressure drop penalty. This study utilized a ... Read More
The blast furnace hearth drainage constitutes a major part of the blast furnace operation. Especially, keeping track of the iron and slag levels is crucial to adapt the tapping strategy. The operational target is usually not only to empty the blast furnace as far as possible but also to ... Read More
This paper presents and discusses the first phase results of a wide ranging project concerning the study and prediction of the efficiency and energy performances of natural ventilation systems existing inside historic buildings. The air flow patterns, air temperature and air velocity ... Read More
Additive manufacturing gathers technologies where near net shape components are produced by depositing successive layers of materials. Among these technologies, the Layer Beam Melting (LBM) process – often referred to as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) – is garnering industrial interest, ... Read More
Mechanical simulation at one pair of asperity contact has been conducted using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and the Structural Mechanics Module to study the sliding friction of rock fractures surface as real fracture surface contact slides driven by pressure solution. The evolving ... Read More
The vestibular systems are very important to balance of body. But some people have vertigo and dizziness caused by vestibular disorder. It is well known how the symptom appears physiologically. The benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) which comes from moving an otolith in ... Read More
Heat treatment of the advanced steel grades (like micro-alloyed steels or AHSS steel grades) is a challenging process as the residual stress/deformation are very pronounced and the customer quality requirements are getting stricter. Instead of a trial and error based process control, a ... Read More
