The Service des Basses Températures of CEA-Grenoble has developed a cryostat able to produce solid hydrogen ribbons of thickness between 50 and 100 µm. These ribbons are intended to be used in high-power laser facilities to study proton-laser interactions. The current developments are ... Read More
Immiscible two-phase flow in porous materials is a process of significant scientific and applied interest encountered in numerous technological applications related to energy and the environment (e.g. subsurface water flows, petroleum recovery, soil remediation and geologic carbon ... Read More
In this work we investigate a wet-chemical silicon etching process. COMSOL Multiphysics® is used to extract local pressure values to correlate them to experimental results. The test setup consists of a box with a fixed wafer and a nozzle that injects an etchant jet onto the wafer ... Read More
Heating of pieces evolving in tunnel furnaces is an argument of high interest in several industrial processes such as thermal treatment of metals, glass production and food industry.Because of pieces move into the furnace, heat flux they receive from fixed heat sources is variable in ... Read More
A large variety of applications in environmental, petroleum and chemical engineering involve multiphase flow. Examples include fluid flow in presence of bubbles/droplets, phase separation of immiscible fluids and wetting phenomena. Multiphase flow is characterised by the presence of an ... Read More
This paper demonstrates experience of using the COMSOL Multiphysics® transport phenomena models in design practice, particularly at the early stage of design when there is might be too many possible design suggestions relying on the shell balance equations, and engineering intuition. ... Read More
The design of the commercial fluorine electrolysis cells in operation in South Africa is based on technology dating essentially from the era before the proliferation of computer simulation software. The model reported here was initiated to generate a more fundamental understanding of ... Read More
Laser cladding is an additive manufacturing process, where a laser beam creates a melt pool, into which powder is fed from a powder nozzle. Due to the feed motion of the laser beam and the powder nozzle relative to the workpiece, coatings and 3D parts can be deposited, which consist of ... Read More
