This application shows how mass transfer out from a thin 3D domain can be approximated using a 2D component with the domain feature Out-of-Plane Flux. This feature is useful when the concentration gradient in the out-of-plane direction (along the thickness) is small, and decreasing the ... Read More
In this model, the transmitter (microstrip patch) and receiver (Yagi–Uda) antennas are modeled simultaneously in the FEM domain and are coupled with FEM–BEM coupling. The results are compared with the analytical Friis transmission formula. In detail, the emw and emw2 interfaces find out ... Read More
A Branch Line Coupler (Quadrature 90° Hybrid) is a four-port network device with a 90° phase difference between two coupled ports. The device can be used for a single antenna Transmitter/Receiver system or an I/Q signal splitter/combiner. The objective of this model is to compute the S ... Read More
The models simulate the working mechanism of traveling wave thermoacoustic engines. Similary to the standing wave engines, the traveling wave engines make use of the coupling between the fluid motion and the temperature change experienced by the fluid to generate acoustic energy. ... Read More
Porous materials are frequently represented through periodically arranged microstructures. To compute porous media flow, the macroscale permeability and porosity is used which can be calculated from the creeping flow results through the microscale unit cell. In this application, various ... Read More
This model shows how to control the position of the base of an inverted pendulum to keep it vertical. The control is performed using a PID controller in Simulink®. The position of the base is constrained within specified limits, and an external force is applied at the base to keep it ... Read More
The metal-silicon-oxide (MOS) structure is the fundamental building block for many silicon planar devices. Its capacitance measurements provide a wealth of insight into the working principles of such devices. This tutorial constructs a simple 1D model of a MOS capacitor (MOSCAP). Both ... Read More
This model exemplifies how to compute the internal temperature distribution in a prismatic battery during a high-rate charge. The electrochemistry is described by a a lumped two-electrode model, which is coupled to the heat transfer model. The heat transfer model includes the effects of ... Read More
The model compare the electromagnetic force calculated by virtual work and maxwell stress tensor methods on the axial magnetic bearing. The forces is evaluated by studying the effect of a small displacement on the electromagnetic energy of the system. This is done by using the Magnetic ... Read More
This model represents index guided photonic crystal fiber as discussed in the J. D. Joannopoulus book. The dispersion diagram of the fundamental and higher order modes matches well with Chapter 9, Figure 4. The hole radius is varied from 0.23[um] to 4.69[um]. J.D. Joannopoulus, R.D. ... Read More
