Modelling of Transport Phenomena and Effect of Applied Electrical Field on Heavy Metals Recovery during Application of the Electro-remediation Process

A. Mahmoud, and J. Beaugrand
Laboratoire de Thermique Energétique et Procédés, ENSGTI, Pau, France

A mathematical model for the simulation of contaminant such as heavy metals removal from soils by electric fields was performed in a 2-D geometry using COMSOL Multiphysics. Electrokinetic phenomena is the result of the coupling between hydraulic and electrical potential gradients in ... Read More

Simulation And Verification Of Thomson Actuator Systems

A. Bissal, G. Engdahl, E. Salinas, and M. Ohrstrom
ABB / KTH, Stockholm, Sweden

The Thomson coil’s (TC) inherent characteristics are appropriate to meet the needs of high speed actuators for mechanical switching devices in so-called smart grids. This is due to the massive forces that it can exert in the time scale of milliseconds. A coupled COMSOL Multiphysics model ... Read More

Finite Element Analysis of Cables Heating Due to PoE/PoE+

S. Francois[1], and P. Namy[2]
[1]Nexans Research Center, Lyon cedex, France
[2]SIMTEC, Grenoble, France

Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) is a technology allowing to transmit data and power over the same data cable. The major concern for this technology is the degradation of data transmission performances due to the temperature increase in the cable. To have a better quantitative and ... Read More

Design Of Magnetoplasmonic Resonant Nanoantennas For Biosensing Applications

M.E. Mezeme, and C. Brosseau
Université Européenne de Bretagne–Université de Bretagne Occidentale, Brest, France

The study of plasmonic structures continues to be at the forefront of research in nanotechnology and condensed matter physics. Here, we present a numerical model we have created and verified to characterize the frequency dependence of the effective magnetic permeability and permittivity ... Read More

Optimisation Of Filament Geometry For Gas Sensor Application

S. Gidon, M. Brun, and S. Nicoletti
CEA Minatec, Optronic Department, Grenoble, France

Monitoring of indoor CO2 concentration is of particular interest to detect room occupancy in order to optimise power consumptions of building. One technological approach is to use optical detection using specific absorption lines of CO2 molecules in the infrared domain close to 4.2 &mu ... Read More

Design Improvement Of A Bench-Scale Nanofiltration Device By CFD Study

B. Balannec[1,2], T. Renouard[1,2], and F.Cortès-Juan[3]
[1]Université de Rennes 1-ENSCR-CNRS, France
[2]Université européenne de Bretagne, France
[3]Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Spain

Feasibility studies in the field of membrane processes are generally first carried out with bench-scale membrane filtration cells. These small laboratory cells also allow evaluating the influence of operational parameters and the membrane performances. Smart design of the cell geometry ... Read More

Numerical Model For Rocking Of Mono-Pile In A Porous Seabed

D-S. Jeng, X. Luo, and J. Zhang
Division of Civil Engineering, University of Dundee, Dundee, Scotland, UK

Offshore wind and wave energy industries have developed considerably in the last two decades. Most offshore energy structures used in the existing projects are mono-piles in shallow water due to simplicity of installations, design and control. Numerous research for the design and ... Read More

Transport Phenomena of Bubbles in a High Viscous Fluid

F. Pigeonneau
CNRS/Saint-Gobain, France

Dr. Franck Pigeonneau is currently working in the joint laboratory between the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and the company Saint-Gobain. He received his Ph. D. in 1998 from the University Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris, France). His main research activities are ... Read More

Integrated Model For Ocean Waves Propagating Over Marine Structures On A Porous Seabed

D-S. Jeng, X. Luo, and J. Zhang
Division of Civil Engineering, University of Dundee, Dundee, Scotland, UK

In this paper, an integrated model for ocean waves propagating over a submerged coastal structure, based on COMSOL Multiphysics, is presented. In the model, Navier-Stoke Equation is solved for the wave propagation and Biot’s poro-elastic model is solved for the porous seabed. The new ... Read More

Modeling and Simulation of a Thermal Swing Adsorption Process for CO2 Capture and Recovery

M. Lei, C. Vallieres, G. Grevillot, and M.A. Latifi
LRGP - CNRS - ENSIC, Nancy, France

The present study deals with a twodimensional modeling and simulation of a thermal swing adsorption (TSA) process used for the capture of CO2 from CO2/N2 mixture. The models are described by partial differential equations (PDEs) including conservation equations, models for equation of ... Read More
