A simple proximity sensing circuit is made using magnets actuating reed switches; these switches are wired into a larger circuit that performs auxiliary functions. The success or failure of such systems is a function of their position. A simulation using COMSOL Multiphysics is conducted ... Read More
Directional couplers are used for the purpose of redirecting, splitting, and combining light in silicon photonic circuits. They are used extensively in data communication applications such as wavelength-division-multiplexing and signal switching [1]. Their functionality is an integral ... Read More
The excessive presence of residual SiC matrix inter-fiber pores is often the main cause for the very poor mechanical strength and toughness of SiC/SiC composites manufactured by CVI (Chemical Vapour Infiltration) process. This work presents a micro/macro Microwaveassisted Chemical Vapour ... Read More
Fiber optic sensors can measure a large range of physical, chemical and environmental variables such as temperature, pressure, shape, position, chemical concentration, moisture, etc. Fiber optic sensors provide measurements in applications where the conventional electrical based sensors ...

We model an ideal optical black hole device in COMSOL Multiphysics as an electromagnetic scattering problem. The device is illuminated with a Gaussian beam which is focused at a fixed position in horizontal direction (x0) and different positions in vertical direction (y0). The device is ... Read More
随着社会进步和发展，能源紧缺的问题日益突出。生物柴油因十六烷值高、无毒、可再生等突出优势正成为新能源开发热点。微波辅助生物柴油制备反应时间短、能耗小、环境污染少，所以设计高效的微波反应釜制备生物柴油势在必行。 针对微波反应器在生产生物柴油时加热不均匀的问题，本文设计了一种可以明显改善微波加热均匀性的夹层釜式微波反应器。然后，再引入能改善物料流体传热的搅拌桨装置。通过电磁场、温度场和流场控制强化液体物料传质传热，进而促进生物柴油的制备。本文所有的仿真工作均通过COMSOL软件进行，分别是用于计算反应器内电磁场分布的“电磁波，频域（emw）”接口 ... Read More
With the evolving trend of electrification in transportation, electric machines with higher power density and higher efficiency are demanded which results in the thermal limit of the stator winding becoming more of a key constraint. The achievable current density in stator windings is ... Read More
Sea ice is an important indicator for global climatic changes. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has been extensively used to monitor sea ice due to rough weather conditions in remote Arctic area. To better understand how SAR signal interacts with the sea ice, Electromagnetic Modeling (EM) ... Read More
Microstructured optical fiber (MOF) has carved out a niche in the field of photonics in the last decade. On the other hand, the field of plasmonics is also rapidly emerging as a fascinating research area. Combining the advantages of both these fields therefore seems imperative for newer ... Read More
Additive Manufacturing is revolutionizing the industrial sector for complex and individualized metallic components. The most limiting factor of the widely established laser beam melting technology is the scan velocity due to inertia of the mirrors [1]. In electron beam melting (EBM), ... Read More
