2D and 3D Simulation on Thermal Flow Around the Human Body
Indoor thermal comfort has become a hot topic as energy saving raises the public attention. Accurate thermal flow prediction in an indoor environment and its influence on human provides a critical background to the development of comfort-providing yet energy-saving solutions. This study ...

Boundary Element Method Simulation of Tonal Noise from a Wind Turbine
Modeling the acoustic output of wind turbines presents extreme simulation challenge due to the geometry of rotors and towers requiring very large mesh size with large volumes of empty space between blades. In this paper, the structural-acoustic finite element models that were previously ... Read More
Numerical Modeling of Viscous Damping for Acoustic Resonances of Suspended Microparticles
Introduction In this study, we investigate the damping mechanisms of particle resonances in acoustofluidic systems using the finite element framework of COMSOLTM. In the field of acoustic micro-manipulation, pressure waves are used for the contactless handling of micro-meter sized ... Read More
Analysis of Heat Transfer From Human Body and Effect of Clothing Surface on Heat Transfer Mechanism
Heat transfer from human body to the environment through clothing layer depends on many factors such as environmental conditions, thermal properties of clothing and size and shape of enclosed air layers (air layers between body surface and clothing). In clothing science, most numerical ... Read More
Heat and Moisture Transport in Wooden Bearings of Monumental Buildings
Currently insulation has been and will in future be applied to many buildings. This proves to be a challenge for monumental or old buildings. Mostly insulation has to be applied at the interior side of a building. That is why hygro-thermal bridges are inevitable. A wooden beam end beared ... Read More
Multiphysics Simulation of a High Frequency Acoustic Microscope Lens
High frequency ultrasound (100-1000 MHz) has been used in microscopy since the 1970s. The main imaging component, the acoustic lens, is commercially available. The resolution, working distance, and focal length depend on the structure of a lens, which is unique for each produced lens. ... Read More
A Model of Concrete Carbonation Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
In the construction sector the concrete and the steel bars represent still the key components, although they are very vulnerable by the atmospheric agents, as in the case of their degradation caused by corrosion. The study of the concrete carbonation, due to the CO2 which permeates the ... Read More
Alternative Implementation of a Porous Media Model for Simulating Drying of Heated Concrete
In a previous publication [1], a porous media model for simulating the pressure development in heated concrete has been presented, which is based on the classical formulation given in [2]. However this formulation has some drawbacks, which are addressed in a new implementation. The ... Read More
Solar Radiation Effects on the Epoxy Adhesive Temperature Used to Bond CFRP to Concrete Beams
The service temperature of epoxy-based adhesive used for structural strengthening of civil structures such as road bridges is an important issue and has to be taken into account when, for example, bonded CFRPs(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) strips are exposed to solar radiation and ... Read More
Tunable Flat-Plate Absorber Design for Active Sound Absorption
Noise reduction at low frequencies is a major issue in many workspaces and indoor public places. Unlike mid- and high-frequency noise, low frequency noise is less attenuated by using conventional sound absorbing materials. This communication proposes an electro-mechano-acoustic absorber ...
