COMSOL has been used to model the propagation of electromagnetic waves in fusion plasmas. For the first time, a finite element method has been used to solve the wave propagation for realistic fusion plasma parameters in the lower hybrid and ion cyclotron frequency ranges. Moreover, for ... Read More
Combustion instability has been a serious issue through the developmental history of gas turbine augmentors. When heat release rate oscillations occur in phase with resonant chamber acoustic modes, a feedback cycle is formed in which the strength of local heat release rate and chamber ... Read More
Peristaltic pumps are used during pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, for filling, filtration and mixing operations. Goal of this work was to develop a computational model of a peristaltic pump used for filling operations, to predict shear stresses and mass flow rates. For this ... Read More
Vibration produced by offshore wind turbines during their normal operation transmits through the tower into the foundation where it interacts with the surrounding water and is released as noise. The noise produced by offshore wind turbines can be detected by fish and marine mammals and ... Read More
Acoustic landmine detection is accomplished using a loud speaker as an airborne source to generate low-frequency waves that enter the soil at a certain incident angle. At a specific frequency, the landmine will "vibrate" at resonance, imparting a certain velocity on the soil particles ... Read More
The article deals with the application of the Hartmann effect in high power laser beam welding of aluminum. The movement of liquid metal in a magnetic field causes electric currents which build a Lorentz force that decelerates the original flow. The numerical model calculates the ... Read More
In this study, for the first time, we have carried out three dimensional transient magnetostructural analysis of a Magnetic Pulse welding (MPW) system which welds two tubular work pieces of dissimilar conducting materials. For this purpose a finite element model (FEM) is developed using ... Read More
Finite element modelling of surgical transducers has been performed and is described. Ultrasonic transducers vibrating at around 25 kHz are used in orthopaedic surgery to cut bone. The high acoustic impedance of the metal blades used in these devices couples energy more efficiently to ... Read More
This paper presents an important step in developing a combined active noise- and audio system for a light jet. To prepare its installation both a wooden mock-up and a finite element model of the investigated cavity were created. Sensitivity analysis and key parameters selection were done ... Read More
A micromirror or a torsional actuator in general has been proven to be one of the most popular actuators fabricated by Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) technology in many industrial and biomedical applications such as RF switches, a laser scanning display, an optical switch matrix, ...
