Simple Disk Piezo Transformer Based Oscillator

J. P. Sandoz[1], J. M. Kissling[1]
[1]Institute of Applied Microtechnology, La Chaux-de-Fonds, HE‐ARC, Switzerland

In this contribution we present a COMSOL Multiphysics® example of a disk piezoelectric ceramic transformer (D-PT) coupled with a bipolar NPN transistor to form an auto-oscillator. The comparison between the simulations and the measurements made on our prototype are found to be in good ... Read More

This paper describes the Virtual Prototype of a Dielectric Window or High Power Microwave Vacuum Tubes and Linear Accelerators. Design formulas are provided and Computer Aided Design techniques based on COMSOL Multiphysics® software are proposed. The virtual prototype considers the ... Read More

3D Acoustic Streaming Field in High-Intensity Discharge Lamps

B. Baumann[1], J. Schwieger[1], M. Wolff[1], F. Manders[2], J. Suijker[2]
[1]Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg, Germany
[2]Philips Lighting, Turnhout, Belgium

High-intensity discharge lamps will in the foreseeable future be important light sources despite a growing market share of LEDs. Cost and energy efficient high frequency (300 kHz) operation is hampered by the excitation of acoustic resonances inside the arc tube, which results in low ... Read More

Paleohydrogeological Reactive Transport Model of the Olkiluoto Site (Finland)

M. Luna[1], P. Trinchero[1], J. Molinero[1], J. Löfman[2], P. Pitkanen[3], L. Koskinen[3]
[1]Amphos 21 Consulting, Barcelona, Spain
[2]VTT Energy, Espoo, Finland
[3]Posiva, Eurajoki, Finland

The safety assessment of the deep geological repository for nuclear waste of Olkiluoto (Finland) requires the evaluation of the influence of the land uplift (ice withdrawal) in groundwater. With this objective in mind, we have developed a three dimensional reactive transport model of ... Read More

Evolution of the Geochemical Background of an HLW Cell in the Callovo-Oxfordian Formation

O. Silva[1], M. Pekala[1], D. Garcia[1], J. Molinero[1], A. Nardi[1], M. Grive[1], B. Cochepin[2]
[1]Amphos 21 Consulting, Barcelona, Spain
[2]Agence Nationale pour la Gestion des Dechéts Radioactifs, Châtenay-Malabry Cedex, France

The French National Waste Management Agency (Andra) envisages the safe disposal of High-Level Waste Intermediate-Level Long-Lived Waste through deep geological storage (multibarrier). Waste storage is based on the Callovo-Oxfordian formation (CallOx). It has been updated a reactive ... Read More

iCP 1.0: Stable Release Version of the Interface COMSOL-PHREEQC

A. Nardi[1], L. M. deVries[1], A. Sainz[1], J. Molinero[1]
[1]Amphos 21 Consulting, Barcelona, Spain

iCP (Nardi et al, 2014) is a software that couples two standalone simulation programs: COMSOL Multiphysics® and PHREEQC (Parkhurst & Appelo, 2013). The tool is ideal for applying multiphysics and geochemistry in Earth Sciences. Flexibility of the two coupled codes result in an ... Read More

Numerical Study on Shear Horizontal Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducers for Generation of Ultrasonic Guided Waves for Absorber Tubes used in Concentrated Solar Plants

L. Cheng[1], A. Mohimi[1], M. Kogia[1], V. Kappatos[1], C. Selcuk[1], T.-H. Gan[1]
[1]Brunel Innovation Centre, Brunel University, Uxbridge, UK

Absorber tubes are one of the most critical components of parabolic trough Concentrated Solar Plants, which is very likely get damaged such as crack and mass loss. Therefore, the monitoring of their structural health via Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques is regarded as essential ... Read More

On the Influence of Cancellous Bone Structure upon the Electric Field Distribution of Electrostimulative Implants

U. Zimmermann[1], R.Bader[2], U. van Rienen[1]
[1]Institute of General Electrical Engineering, University of Rostock, Rostock, Germany
[2]Department of Orthopaedics, University Medicine Rostock, Rostock, Germany

Since the 1980s, the accelerating effect of electromagnetic fields on bone regeneration is used to treat complicated fractures and bone diseases. At the University of Rostock, an electrostimulative hip revision system is developed, basing on the method of Kraus-Lechner. This method ... Read More

A 2D Model of the Flow in Hydrocyclones
