This talk is for intermediate-level users of COMSOL who, like the present author, are relative newcomers to numerical simulation but have a strong grounding in Hydrodynamics or related areas of Mathematical Physics. Most turn-key Computational Fluid Dynamics packages, including COMSOL ... Read More
Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) use graphite electrodes to strike an arc to melt scrap steel, recycling it for further use. These graphite electrodes oxidize and are consumed over time. To maintain operation new electrodes are attached to others via a joint of complex geometry and fed ... Read More
A new nonvolatile memory device based on its resistance state has emerged known as resistive random access memory (RRAM). It operates by switching between the high resistance and low resistance states which can be interpreted as logical 0 and 1 variables. Understanding the resistive ... Read More
Knowing the magnetic fields generated by an assembly of magnets in epicyclic motions are important in designing magnetrons for physical vapor deposition (PVD) applications [1]. Epicyclic paths would mean all magnets are rotating in an orbital (central) axis, on top of which each magnet ... Read More
Electroplated CoFe alloys demonstrating Joule magnetostriction (i.e., a large change in material shape induced by an applied magnetic field) have been recently developed for the creation of microfabricated magnetoelastic resonators for tagging applications. This development requires a ... Read More
Small-scale plasma jets in atmospheric air can produce regions of highly reactive chemistry coincident with temperatures approaching room temperature allowing his type of cold plasma jet to be used for decontamination of surfaces and sterilization of living tissue. In the device under ... Read More
In a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, it is necessary to excite the nuclei of a patient into coherent precession for imaging. This requires a coupling between the nuclei and a source of radio frequency (RF) power using a transmitter. To receive a meaningful signal, we also need ... Read More
A prominent technological goal at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) involves developing high temperature superconductors (HTS) for use in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) at fields above 31 T. Work presented here demonstrates the extensive use of finite element ... Read More
A laboratory-scale electrolysis cell for the recovery of metals is simulated with COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Two models are implemented: an electrical model simulating the current density (reaction rate) distribution at the electrodes and a laminar bubbly flow model which solves for ... Read More
Recently, the researchers usually use the hydrodynamic Drude model (HDM)to investigate the nonlocal optical response of metallic nanostructure. The advantage of the HDM is easy to implement numerical calculation for larger and more complex shaped nanoplasmonic structures. For the HDM, it ... Read More
