Fluid Flow Simulations Using New CFD Module
COMSOL\'s new CFD Module has been tested for laminar and turbulent flows in simple geometries, with couple or segregated solver. These tests allow mesh sensitivities and comparison with analytical solutions. They also give a first idea of cpu time and RAM use for standard cases. In a ... Read More
A Flexible Scheme For Numerical Homogenisation In Linear Elasticity
Musculoskeletal mineralised tissues (MMTs), like bone or tendon, are a prime example of naturally occuring, hierarchically structured material. They display a great variety in mechanical function but are all based on essentially the same building block: the mineralised collagen fibril ... Read More
Wind Evaporation On Wetted Surfaces Under Uncertainty Conditions
Brine disposal from desalination plants placed in inland areas far from sea is an important problem. Evaporation ponds can be used for reducing the waste to solid state but they require huge amounts of land. Evaporation using arrays of wet surfaces can minimize the land requirements. One ...

Modeling Of A Single Pulse Electric Discharge At Sphere/Flat Interface By Coupling Contact Multiphysics And Phase Transformations
Contact electro-thermal phenomena are of great theoretical and technological interest to a large number of processing applications, such as spot welding, current-assisted sintering, electrical circuitry (switches) and motors. A model has been developed, aiming at predicting physical and ... Read More
Structural Analysis: Going Beyond Standard Load Cases
Dr. Ivar Kjelberg is Senior Project Manager for Mechatronics in the Systems Engineering Division of CSEM SA in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. He obtained the diploma as \"Ingénieur Physicien\" from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédéreale EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1979, and a PhD at the local ... Read More
Finite Element Model of a Ferroelectric
Ferroelectric technology continues to attract significant interest due to its wide range of applications (capacitors, nonvolatile memories, accelerometers ...). In this work we present a finite element model of a ferroelectric. Piezoelectric and ferroelectric matrix are included. The ... Read More
Modeling of Vickers indentation of TiAl alloys
Instrumented indentation is increasingly used as an alternative non-destructive test method to measure mechanical properties of small volumes of materials. In this work, the instrumented indentation test is applied as a non-destructive method to assess the mechanical properties of TiAl ... Read More
Fruit Optical Properties Assessment by Means of Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy
Since the invention of laser sources, understanding the interaction between the laser and biological tissues is a subject of great importance because of their medical applications in particular for diagnostic purposes. They recently found a growing interest in the sector of the ... Read More
From customer requirement to product requirement with COMSOL
Anders B Nilsson graduated M. Sc. in engineering physics from Lund University in Sweden. He has been working in the R&D department at BD Medical as principal engineer and project leader since 2005. He uses COMSOL for a wide range of functions, such as early concept development and ... Read More
An MHD Modeling of High-Temperature SiC Solution Growth
Despite its real advantages compare to seeded sublimation growth, SiC solution growth has never given convincing results. The difficulty of stabilizing the growth front, and thus avoiding any polycrystal formation results from a poor description and understanding of the coupled phenomena ... Read More
