3D unsteady Benard-Marangoni instabilities during the evaporation of the volatile sessile drops

Sanjeev Kumar1, Marc Médale1, David Brutin1
1Aix-Marseille University, CNRS, IUSTI, Marseille,

Our current research is focused on thermal Marangoni instabilities in sessile ethanol drops which develop spontaneously during evaporation. Our current problem for numerical model is 3D unsteady with moving interface of a sessile drop under forced evaporation and showing internal flow ... Read More

The use of 3D printed material for trunk exoskeleton system

M. Dickinson1, E. Sanderson1
1University Of Central Lancashire, United Kingdom

Since the 60’s, exoskeleton technology has fascinated scientists and engineers alike, from examples such as the early GE “Handyman” through to model XOS, a military grade heavy duty system. This technology can also be found in the clinical setting, where systems can offer patients, who ... Read More

The Development of an Analytical Model for the Acoustics of a Porous Melamine Foam Material

B.P. Semeniuk1, E. Lundberg1, P. Göransson1
1KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden

COMSOL Multiphysics® has proven to be an invaluable “virtual laboratory” tool in assisting our development of a new generation of efficient analytical models describing the acoustics of highly porous fibre and foam materials. From the definition of the physical relations describing the ... Read More

Finite Element Analysis of Planar Microcoil Based Induction-balance Magnetic MEMS Sensor

Krishnapriya S1, Suja K J2, Rama Komaragiri3

3Bennett University, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India

Two transmitting planar microcoils (TX1, TX2) and one receiving microcoil (RX) are employed as shown in Fig.1 formed in induction-balance configuration. RX-Coil is positioned in such a way to achieve primary field suppression in RX-Coil’s region. Meaning, a magnetic cavity is created in ... Read More

Simulation of Helium Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet using COMSOL Multiphysics®

S.A. Mannion1, Prof. T. Murakami 2, C. McDonnell1, Dr. T.A Field1, Prof. D Riley1, Dr. S White1, Prof. W.G Graham1
1Queen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK
2Seikei University, Tokyo, Japan

Atmospheric-pressure plasma jets (APPJ) are devices that generate chemically reactive species and operate at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature for a wide range of applications. Plasmas jets produce charged particles (electrons and ions), neutral metastable species, radicals, ... Read More

Relaxed Adsorption-flow Coupling Enables Stable COMSOL Multiphysics® Modeling of Upscaled Capacitive Deionization

Johan Nordstrand1, Joydeep Dutta1
1Functional Materials, Applied Physics Department, KTH, Sweden

The rapidly increasing world population will dramatically expand the future global freshwater requirements, now making lots of researchers realize the fundamental importance of developing effective desalination technologies. Hence, the emerging capacitive deionization (CDI) desalination ... Read More

COMSOL® Experience Of Biomechanical Modeling Of Shells And Plates In Ophthalmology

Pavilaynen G. V.1, Franus D.V.2
1Saint-Petersburg State University, Russia
2

Modern problems of biomechanics, in particular, the problems of modeling vision correction in ophthalmology are associated with the study of the stress-strain state of shells and plates made of complex materials. These problems are essentially nonlinear in geometry and in physical ... Read More

Modelling of cavity hydrogen pressure for a cast steel

A.YAKTITI1, F.CHRISTIEN1, J-F.CARTON2
1Mines Saint-Etienne, LGF, UMR 5307 , France
2SafeMetal, Feurs, France

It has been well proved that hydrogen represents a harmful element for steels because it can easily embrittle them. This phenomenon is known as Hydrogen Embrittelement (H.E.) and it leads to a serious decrease in mechanical properties especially loss of ductility. The studied material is ... Read More

Modeling Joule-Thomson Effect with COMSOL Multiphysics®

Cristina Garcia Albela1
1ASML, Netherlands

Joule-Thomson effect describes a change of temperature in a fluid due to a sudden change of pressure under adiabatic conditions. The aim of this study is to reproduce Joule-Thomson effect when an incompressible gas flows through a narrow pipe connecting two tanks at different pressures. ... Read More

Implementation of a cathode directed streamer model in air under different voltage stresses.

Francis Boakye-Mensah1, Nelly Bonifaci1, Rachelle Hanna1, Olivier Lesaint1
1Univ. Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, Grenoble INP*, G2Elab, France

Although SF6 gas is characterized by a strong global warming potential, traditionally, it has been employed universally as the dielectric insulation gas for most electrical equipment because of its excellent technical performances. With the emergence of environmental regulations for ... Read More
