INTRODUCTION: The “Schrödinger equation” is usually associated with quantum mechanics, however for the nonlinear version (NLSE), there are applications outside the realm of quantum mechanics. NLSE appears in branches of physics like a) the quantum physics Bose-Einstein condensation ... Read More
Simulation of laser processes are more and more efficient. In some cases, as welding and additive manufacturing, the physical phenomena are complex, multi-physics and multi-phases, thus some assumptions have to be done. For Laser Powder Bed Fusion, a laser beam melts and vaporizes the ... Read More
The scaling down of Copper interconnects is an effective approach to increasing the number of signal I/O lines and performance in advanced fine-pitch packaging. However, as dimensions are reduced, the risk of electromigration-induced failures in the copper interconnects becomes ... Read More
The heat and fluid flow calculation inside the melt pool in welding processes is a complex challenge. It can be useful to predict defects in the weld seam or to study the influence of some process parameters. Even if the required equations are mastered over the last few years, the cost ... Read More
Plasma torches are used in processing of materials as well as in the energy industry for producing plasma. In a non-transferred arc plasma torch, an electric arc can be initiated by applying a direct current (DC) between the cathode and anode, both placed inside the torch. Then, the ... Read More
In this paper a specific version of radiation collecting troughs is investigated. The trough arrangement has a shape which is a combination of a circular arc and adjacent parabolic curve pieces based on a paper by Tripanagnostopoulos [1]. An absorbing tube can be placed at varying ... Read More
Today’s driver hardware for High-intensity discharge (HID) lamps is bulky, expensive and not particularly energy-efficient. A downscaling of the devices seems possible by increasing the operation frequency from typically 400 Hz to some hundred kilohertz. However, efforts to design high ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® is being utilized to develop Thermal Model for Wire Directed Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing (Wire-DED) process with an objective to analyse the heat transfer phenomenon during and after the process. Wire-DED process’s growing industrial acceptance at a very ... Read More
Plasma torches are used in processing of materials and in energy industry for producing plasma. In this work we use the Equilibrium DC Discharge physics interface of COMSOL Multiphysics® to model a DC non- transferred arc plasma torch, under hypothesis of local thermodynamic equilibrium. ...

Plasma torches are used in processing of materials and in energy industry for producing plasma. In a non-transferred arc plasma torch, an electric arc can be glowed by applying a direct current (DC) between the cathode and anode, both placed inside the torch. Then, the plasma (Fig. 1) is ...
