Solid-state magnetic refrigeration near room temperature, based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE), is being investigated as an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to traditional vapor-compression systems (responsible for the 7.8% of greenhouse gas emissions) [1] [2], ... Read More
As the global use of COMSOL® apps continues to grow, many developers are seeking practical and secure methods to protect their applications and control their usage. While traditional paid software often relies on license keys, there has been a lack of simple and flexible tools tailored ... Read More
For many years now, numerical simulations allow to calculate and predict processes in many fields such as natural sciences, engineering, and economics. To do this, models of the system under consideration are created and animated using equations based on first principles of physics, e.g. ... Read More
Founded in 1959, with headquarters in Aalst-Waalre, the Netherlands, and having approximately 140 employees, Goudsmit Magnetics is a specialist in the field of magnets and magnetism and delivers both standard and custom-made permanent and electro-magnet solutions in various fields, ... Read More
Calibration drift of temperature sensors is a well-known problem which adversely affects process control, particularly at high temperatures. Some new approaches are being developed [1,2], but degradation of resistive sensor elements is hard to prevent. To overcome this, graphene, which ... Read More
The increasing integration of power electronics into airborne systems drives the need for compact, efficient, and thermally robust solutions that comply with the demanding constraints of the aeronautical environment. In this context, planar transformers offer significant advantages, ... Read More
The stellarator concept developed by Renaissance Fusion makes use of a lithium free surface flow surrounding the plasma fusion core. Understanding the instability mechanism of this flow is of primary importance for controlling it. We use COMSOL Multiphysics® to solve the 1D linear ... Read More
Magnetic confinement fusion devices make use of very intense magnetic fields, typically of the order of several teslas. Extracting the heat to eventually produce electricity is provided by liquid metals flowing in ducts, sometimes with free surface. Interaction between the magnetic field ... Read More
Radiation therapy is a key cancer treatment, used in over 50% of cases, either as a standalone or in combination with surgery and chemotherapy. It involves delivering ionizing radiation to damage cancer cell DNA, preventing their proliferation. Conventional radiotherapy mainly employs X ... Read More
Arc welding is a widely used process in heavy industry for the assembly of metallic components. To ensure high-quality welds, it is essential to understand both the welding process and the complex interactions within the melt pool. Numerical simulation is employed as a predictive tool to ...
