Splitting a 3D model into two coupled components can increase performance [1]. Two offshore applications with the AC/DC module and the heat transfer module are presented, but the approach is general. The examples simulate the hotspot temperature in a three core cable with cross-sectional ... Read More
The Bridgman process is used in the production of single crystal superalloys for use in high temperature applications. The mechanical properties of these superalloys are strongly influenced by the microstructure that is formed during the solidification. The formation of the ... Read More
The modelling of the optical and thermal response of translucent composite materials submitted to a high-energy laser irradiation is very complex, as glass fibers-reinforced polymers are highly heat-sensitive and their physical behavior dramatically changes at high temperatures. All ... Read More
The activity focuses on improving the overall performance and design of a small-sized heat exchanger. This heat exchanger is designed to raise the temperature of a fluid (water), using tubular electric heaters. The device consists of a steel case with two hydraulic connections for fluid ... Read More
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is one of the most beneficial manufacturing methods for its precision and ability to create parts with complex geometry, although high thermal gradient due to the considerable temperature difference between ambient and peak temperature appeared during laser ...

In the development of advanced welding torches, a significant challenge lies in optimizing design and performance while minimizing costs and environmental impact. Traditionally, this has involved extensive physical testing, which is both time-consuming and resource-intensive. To address ... Read More
Present work is done in the framework of the SisAl Pilot EU project, which aims at optimising the silicon production in Europe by recycling materials and using a carbon-emission friendly technology. The silicon production experiments are conducted on laboratory and pilot scales in ... Read More
Corals are symbiotic marine organisms greatly dependent on the dynamic gradients of light, temperature and chemical species, all affected by the water flow in their surroundings. We developed a multiphysics modelling approach to simulate the microscale spatial distribution of light, ... Read More
1 Problem Description Most studies for investigating heat and mass transfer phenomena in sorption storage systems use 1D or 2D numerical models. These are inadequate for analyzing processes in more complex geometries used in current prototypes. We present here a 3D model for the ... Read More
In the nuclear industry, and particularly at Framatome, mastery of welding processes is essential. Framatome is one of the world leaders in this field and wants to improve even more. The work presented focuses on improving the TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding process, and more ... Read More
