On The Modelling Of Electrowetting Using COMSOL Multiphysics

J.F. Dannenberg, J. Brinkert, and E.A.D. Lamers
Reden b.v., Hengelo (ov.), The Netherlands

One of the upcoming technologies in displays is that of the electrowetting displays. A surface can be covered by a colored oil or transparent water using a voltage to increase or decrease the wettability of the surface. A simulation of the behavior of such a thin film of oil in water, ... Read More

Elucidating the Mechanism Governing the Cell Rotation Behavior Under DEP

G. Zhang[1], Y. Zhao[1], J. Brcka[2], J. Faguet[2], E. Lee[2]
[1]Clemson University, Clemson, SC, USA
[2]TEL U.S. Holdings, Inc., U.S. Technology Development Center, Austin, TX, USA

In our experiments with manipulating cells with DEP, we noted that some cells are constantly spining. By hypothesing that the cell spining is caused by the non-circular shape of the cell body and the off-centered location of its nucleus and that the rotation direction depends on the ... Read More

Efficient Simulation of 3D Electro-optical Waveguides Using the Effective Refractive Index Method

M. Herlitschke, M. Blasl, and F. Costache
Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems
Dresden, Germany

3D FEM simulation of millimeter-scale, complex electro-optically induced waveguide based devices demands the use of grids with more than several million nodes. Hence the simulation could take substantial time and require large amounts of available memory. This paper presents a ... Read More

3-D Design, Electro-Thermal Simulation and Geometrical Optimization of Spiral Platinum Micro-Heaters for Low Power Gas Sensing Applications Using COMSOL 4.1

V. Bansal, D. Kumar, B. Prasad, and A. Gujjar
Electronic Science Department

In this paper a thermal electric finite element method (FEM) analysis was used to investigate the thermal properties of individual electrically driven platinum micro-heaters. The geometric optimization for the micro-heater was performed by simulating a wide range of possible geometries ... Read More

Simulations of Polymer Based Micro Heater Operated at Low Voltage

M. Gayake[1], D. Bodas[2], and S. A. Gangal[1]
[1]Department of Electronic science, University of Pune, India
[2]Centre for Nanobioscience, Agharkar Research Institute, India

This paper presents a design of polymer based micro heater operating in the temperature range of 200- 250°C which could be operated at low voltage (battery operated). The micro heater has been designed and simulated using COMSOL 4.1, FEM simulation tool. Simulation was performed for ... Read More

Pre-clinical Modelling and Simulation of Hepatic Radiofrequency Ablation

S. Singh [1], R. Repaka [1], ,
[1] Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, India.

Radio-Frequency ablation (RFA) has received a considerable interest as a minimally invasive treatment technique used for destruction of a variety of primary and metastatic hepatic tumors. A parametric study of hepatic radio-frequency ablation using three-dimensional numerical models has ... Read More

Simulation of the Impedance Response of Thin Films as a Function of Film Conductivity and Thickness

Y. Jin [1], S. Kumar [1], R. A. Gerhardt [1],
[1] School of Materials Science and Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA

Introduction The electrical properties of materials are important in many different applications. In microelectronics for example, films must perform as insulators, semiconductor or as conducting layers. In recent years, scanning probe methods are being extended to the nanometre scale ...

Uncertainty of FEM Solutions Using a Nonlinear Least Squares and Design of Experiments Approach

J. T. Fong [1], N. A. Heckert [1], J. J. Filliben [1], P. V. Marcal [2], R. Rainsberger [3]
[1] National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD, USA
[2] MPACT Corp., Oak Park, CA, USA
[3] XYZ Scientific Applications, Inc., Livermore, CA, USA

Uncertainty in COMSOL Multiphysics® software simulations due to (a) model parameter uncertainties and (b) mesh-induced truncation errors, is estimated using a design-of-experiments approach [1, 2, 3], and a nonlinear least squares logistics fit method [4, 5], respectively. Examples to ... Read More

Heat Transfer in High-Voltage Surge Arresters

O. Fritz[1], M. Ljuslinder[2], and B. Doser[2]
[1]ABB Switzerland Ltd, Corporate Research, Baden-Dättwil, Switzerland
[2]ABB Switzerland Ltd, High Voltage Products, Wettingen, Switzerland

We present examples of the use of COMSOL Multiphysics for the solution of electrical conduction in varistors coupled to the solution of long-term heat-transport through conduction and convection. We fit measured power-loss and impedance data with analytic functions in order to simulate ... Read More
