Technical Papers and Presentations

Silk is one of the longest used and most recognizable textiles that we, as a society, use regularly. We see it as a luxury good, worn as an indicator of success and value. However, despite mankind having domesticated and farmed silkworms for millennia, we still know relatively little ... Read More

Finite element models for acoustic scattering from three dimensional underwater elastic objects, calculated in the frequency domain, are transformed to the time domain through Fourier synthesis using COMSOL Multiphysics®. The time domain mirrors the way in which experimental scattering ... Read More

Solar thermal energy, compared to fossil fuels, is an environmentally friendly alternative for heating and hot water production. Recent research suggests that polymeric materials can be a cost-saving and environmentally friendly alternative to the common metals used in solar thermal ... Read More

In this conference we have brought together a community that is scientifically diverse in an event that allows for inspiring contacts about the use of COMSOL Multiphysics. It is an event to connect with the Spanish and Portuguese COMSOL Multiphysics users and participate in training ... Read More

In the Ball End Magneto rheological Finishing, due to heat generation by thermal agitation the effect of MRF finishing reduces and this ultimately hampers the process of the precision finishing and density of MR fluid too, which therefore results in instability of MR fluid. Read More

The JPM Silicon GmbH presents a novel method for the production of solar grade silicon in the microwave oven. This method can specially reduce the energy costs and increase the efficiency of the process. A numerical model is developed which depicts the physical, chemical and ... Read More

We describe the thermal modeling of a crate hosting boards with Associative Memories (AM) designed for the Fast Tracker Trigger (FTK) system of the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. FTK is a highly paralleled hardware system designed to provide global tracks reconstructed ... Read More

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a recent well researched technique which can be employed to obtain an amplified DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid). A continuous flow polymerase chain reaction with integrated MEMS based design micro heater for DNA amplification is implemented. Temperature ... Read More

Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary field, basically it designs systems to handle small volumes of fluids. Most applications require a pumping action in order to move the fluid trough the system. For most of them a micro scale active pump is highly desirable. A piezoelectric micropump ... Read More

This paper presents a simulation model of a rotary damper filled with a magnetorheological fluid (MRF). The most important characteristic of the MRF is the variable viscosity, which can be controlled by an external magnetic field. In the simulation model, the fluid is described as a ... Read More
