This work presents a small swimmer model in a low Reynolds number ($Re$) environment governed by the equation of motion for Stokes flow in COMSOL Multiphysics®. The entity, a few centimetres helical robot, is located inside of a pipe full of silicone oil, where the forces caused by the ... Read More
Aluminum production potlines operate under significant amperage in a range of 200 kA – 600 kA. High electrical DC currents induce strong magnetic fields. MHD stability, which is a result of electrical current and magnetic field interaction within aluminum reduction cell, is one of highly ... Read More
The objective of this work is to analyze measuring techniques used in observation boreholes to investigate natural groundwater flow (magnitude and direction). The In-Well-Point-Velocity-Probe (IWPVP) is a technique based on mini tracer tests performed inside observation boreholes to ... Read More
Temperature of sesame paste flowing through a screw-expeller was studied. Screw-expeller used consisted of a rotating tapered screw and a constant-inner-diameter stationary barrel. Since screw diameter was much larger than the sesame paste thickness, an unwrapped model was employed with ... Read More
Microreactors have been used for renewable fuel production due to benefits such as, enhanced mass transfer, improved heat transfer and larger surface-area-to-volume ratios. The steam reforming of methanol over a CuO/ZnO/Al2O3 based catalyst (BASF F3-01) is investigated using 2-D packed ... Read More
Peristaltic pumps are used during pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, for filling, filtration and mixing operations. Goal of this work was to develop a computational model of a peristaltic pump used for filling operations, to predict shear stresses and mass flow rates. For this ... Read More
The calibration of groundwater models is usually limited by the scarcity of direct hydraulic data. The estimation of heterogeneous distribution of hydraulic properties can be improved through a joint or coupled inversion in which the calibration dataset is complemented with geophysical ...
