[1]Mechanical and Industrial Production Department, Faculty of Engineering, Mondragon Unibertsitatea, Loramendi 4, Mondragon 20500 Gipuzkoa, Spain
[2]Department of Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Operational Research, University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Leioa, Spain, and IKERBASQUE (Basque Foundation for Sciences), Bilbao, Spain

This paper describes a numerical solution method for the simulation of a cold crucible induction melting (CCIM) process involving the coupling of electromagnetic, temperature and turbulent velocity fields. During the CCIM process, the metal charge is contained on a water cooled ... Read More

Modeling of a Switchable Permanent Magnet Magnetic Flux Actuator

I. Dirba, and J. Kleperis
Institute of Solid State Physics of University of Latvia
Riga, Latvia

A simple magnetic circuit consisting of ferromagnetic core material, air gap, permanent magnets and current coils can be used to form magnetic actuators, motors etc. devices. In this work the current coils are not used to generate working magnetic field, but just to switch magnetic flux ... Read More

Advanced Application of an Automated Generative Tool for MEMS Based on COMSOL Multiphysics

F. Bolognini
University of Cambridge
Cambridge, UK

This work presents a different use of COMSOL as an integrated component of a computational tool framework used to automate designs creation. CNS-Burst is a computational synthesis method that has been implemented with the aim of automatically generating solutions to an assigned design ... Read More

Efficient Simulation of 3D Electro-optical Waveguides Using the Effective Refractive Index Method

M. Herlitschke, M. Blasl, and F. Costache
Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems
Dresden, Germany

3D FEM simulation of millimeter-scale, complex electro-optically induced waveguide based devices demands the use of grids with more than several million nodes. Hence the simulation could take substantial time and require large amounts of available memory. This paper presents a ... Read More

Modeling of Through-the-Snow Electric Field Propagation for Rescue Systems

N. Ayuso[1], V. Bataller[1], A. Muñoz[2], D. Tardioli[1], J. A. Cuchí[1], F. Lera[3], and J. L. Villarroel[1]
[1]Aragón Institute for Engineering Research (I3A), University of Zaragoza, Zaragoza, Spain
[2]Advanced Research Laboratories of I3A, Walqa Technological park, Huesca, Spain
[3]Institute of Material Science of Aragón, CSIC-Universidad de Zaragoza, Zaragoza, Spain

Propagation models for avalanche rescue systems are studied here. The paper focuses on the through-the-snow electric field propagation at ISM frequencies, comparing several models (air model, snow model, three-layered model) and using different solving method (geometrical optics, ... Read More

Microwave Plasma Simulation Applied to a Double ICP Jet Reactor

H.-E. Porteanu, and R. Gesche
Ferdinand-Braun-Institut
Berlin, Germany

ICP reactors are usually meter sized and driven at RF frequencies, for example at 13.56 MHz. We developed a miniature resonator allowing an inductive type of coupling of microwaves at 2.45 GHz to a plasma jet, flowing in ceramic tubes. Previous experiments and simulations show an ... Read More

Simulation and Verification of a Capacitive Proximity Sensor

T. Schlegl, and H. Zangl
Graz University of Technology
Graz, Austria

State of the art proximity sensors are most often based on optical or tactile methods. Although these sensor systems are widely used (e.g. clamping protection) the reveal several drawbacks. Most optical sensors need a line of side whereas tactile sensors cannot be used to determine a ... Read More

Modal Characterization of the Plasmonic Slot Waveguide Using COMSOL Multiphysics

F. Frezza[1], P. Nocito[2], and E. Stoja[1]
[1]Department of Information Engineering, Electronics and Telecommunications, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy
[2]MISE, Communication Department, ISCOM, Rome, Italy

We investigate and compare the characteristics of the fundamental guided mode sustained by a subwavelength plasmonic slot waveguide for three types of metals: gold, silver and aluminium. This is done in terms of mode effective index, propagation length, confinement and, as the mode under ... Read More

Numerical 3D-FEM-simulation Made By COMSOL Multiphysics of a Microwave Assisted Cleaning System for a Diesel Sooty Particle Filter and its Experimental Validation

I. Imenokhoyev, A. Matthes, H. Gutte, and G. Walter
TU Bergakademie Freiberg
Freiberg, Germany

By means of a numerical 3D-FEM-simulation, some alternatives for the arrangement of the waveguide supplying the microwave energy to a cylindrical ceramic filter are investigated. The different alternatives are compared concerning a homogenous distribution of the electromagnetic field and ... Read More

Current Distribution and Magnetic Fields in Complex Structures Using Comsol Multiphysics

S. F. Madsen, and C. Falkenstrøm Mieritz
Highvoltage.dk ApS
Lejre, Denmark

The present paper presents numerical calculations of the magnetic fields and the current distribution within a wind turbine nacelle. The results are used by control system engineers designing panels and cables, who must ensure that the immunity of the equipment complies with the ... Read More
