Electromagnetic Force Simulations on a Reaction Sphere for Satellite Attitude Control

L. Rossini[1], E. Onillon[1], O.Chetelat[1], and C. Allegranza[2]
[1]Centre Suisse d’Electronique et Microtechnique, Switzerland
[2]ESA/ESTEC, The Netherlands

In the frame of an ESA project, CSEM in collaboration with other partners has developed an innovative Attitude Orbit Control System concept that relies on a Reaction Sphere. We propose to use one unique magnetic bearing Reaction Sphere whose spin axis and angular velocity can be ... Read More

Comparison of Computational Methods for the Estimation of the Dielectrophoretic Force Acting on Biological Cells and Aggregates in Silicon Lab-on-chip

S. Burgarella[1], F. Maggioni[2], and G. Naldi[2]
[1]STMicroelectronics, Agrate Brianza, Milan, Italy
[2]Department of Mathematics, University of Milan, Milan, Italy

Dielectrophoresis is a method for cell manipulation in miniaturized devices exploiting the dielectric properties of cells and/or cellular aggregates suspended in a fluid and subjected to a high-gradient electric field. The mathematical expression of the force is obtained by a multipole ... Read More

Flow Modeling in Long Surface Patterned Micromixers Using Division in Multiple Geometrical Subunits

J. Clark [1], T. A. Butt [1], G. Mahajan [2], C. R. Kothapalli [2], M. Kaufman [1], P. S. Fodor [1]
[1] Department of Physics, Cleveland State University, Cleveland, OH, USA
[2] Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, Cleveland State University, Cleveland, OH, USA

Optimization of mixing in microfluidic devices is a popular application of computational fluid dynamics software packages, such as COMSOL Multiphysics, with an increasing number of studies being published on the topic. On one hand, the laminar nature of the flow and lack of turbulence in ... Read More

Early Stage Melt Ejection in Laser Percussion Drilling

T. Eppes[1]
[1]University of Hartford, Hartford, CT, USA

Laser percussion drilling is widely used in the aerospace industry to produce cooling holes in jet engine components. This process is a thermal, contact-free process which involves firing a sequence of focused optical pulses onto a target material [1-4]. During each optical pulse, the ... Read More

Optical Trapping on Waveguides

O.G. Hellesø [1],
[1] University of Tromsø, Tromsø, Norway

On the surface of an optical waveguide, there is an evanescent field. The evanescent field decays fast and this steep gradient can be used to pull nano- and microparticles down towards the waveguide surface. Radiation forces will propel the particle forward along the waveguide. Trapping ... Read More

Dynamic Model for Catenary Mooring: Experimental Validation of the Wave Induced Load

L. Martinelli[1], A. Spiandorello[2], P. Ruol[3], and A. Lamberti[1]
[1]DICAM, Università di Bologna, Italy
[2]Civil Engineer, Italy
[3]IMAGE, Università di Padova, Italy

This paper will present a numerical model based on COMSOL Multiphysics suited to simulate the dynamic response of a catenary mooring (or a submarine cable). In general, mooring lines are subject to a direct wave load (e.g. drag, inertia) in addition to the movement of the vessel to ... Read More

Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulation of Arc Motion Between Bus-Bar Electrodes

M. Lisnyak [1] , M. Chnani [2], A. Gautier [2] , J.-M. Bauchire [1]
[1] Université d’Orléans, Orléans, France
[2] Zodiac Aero Electric, Zodiac Aerospace, Montreuil, France

The knowledge of the behavior of electric arcs between plane electrodes is in high interest due to their presence in industrial applications such as low voltage circuit breakers. In this contribution, numerical simulations of an electric arc displacement due to electro-magnetic forces ... Read More

Simulation of a Magnetophoretic Device for the Separation of Colloidal Particles in Magnetic Fluids

S.K. Fateen, and M. Magdi
Cairo University, Giza, Egypt

Magnetophoresis of non-magnetic particles is the induced motion of non-magnetic particles suspended in magnetic media on the application of a magnetic field gradient. Magnetophoresis can be used in special separation devices to separate colloidal particles based on their sizes. ... Read More

Rheological Behaviour of Single–Phase Non-Newtonian Polymer Solution in Complex Pore Geometry: A Simulation Approach

P. Idahosa[1], G. Oluyemi[2], R. Prabhu[2], B. Oyeneyin[2]
[1]IDEAS Research Institute/School of Engineering, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, United Kingdom.
[2]School of Engineering, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, United Kingdom.

One of the most important criteria for evaluating chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes that use polymers is its rheological behaviour which in turn account for other physical effects of adsorption and resistance factors during polymer-rock interactions. However, complete ... Read More

Numerical Investigation of a Time-dependent Magnetic Actuation Technique for Tagging Biomolecules with Magnetic Nanoparticles in a Microfluidic System

A. Munir, J. Wang, Z. Zhu, and H.S. Zhou
Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA, USA

The magnetic body forces that act on mono-dispersed magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) tagged biomolecules in a microfluidic system can be efficiently used in various applications that involve separation and detection including DNA and protein analysis, bio-defense, drug delivery, and ... Read More
