When concrete is subjected to high temperature, capillary water evaporates and chemically bound water is released due to dehydration. This results in an increase of pore pressure, which is believed to be one of the mechanisms leading to spalling. Spalling of concrete is of high concern ... Read More
Waterflooding is widely used in secondary oil recovery. The physics is described by the model of two-phase flow in porous media. The aim of the present work is to implement this model in COMSOL Multiphysics and to simulate the process of waterflooding. It is analyzed in two dimensions. ... Read More
The main focus of the present study is the parametric investigation of the influence of viscosity on breakup dynamics of the non-Newtonian sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) droplets. It presents the numerical simulations of the fluid dynamics of CMC droplets with shear-thinning ... Read More
Introduction: In metal foams production, nucleated gas bubbles expand in a heated metal in a mold, then the foam cool and solidify. Thereby energy, mass and momentum transfer mechanisms are present simultaneously in the system and must be taken into account. Metal foam (Figure 1) can be ... Read More
This study is to investigate the velocity pattern and the velocity magnitude of the cuttings that is being processed in the process mill as a result of the rotating hammers. The process mill consists of a horizontal cylindrical shell equipped with renewable liners and rotating hammers ... Read More
Oil-water separators play an important role in several industries as well as in waste water treatment. However, no basic principles have been set to guarantee the designed separators would work according to the desired efficiency due to the effect various factors. Both time and money ... Read More
Over the last decade, electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) has become one of the most blistering and versatile tool in digital microfluidics. It enables control over fluid shape and flow by electrical signals alone, which is viable by effective utilization of the excess charge ... Read More
Over the last years, the concrete technology has progressed in order to improve the quality of its use and mechanical performances. Despite the technical development known in the context of concrete, the esthetic aspect remains weakly treated. Among the esthetic problems, there is the ... Read More
In this paper, the mechanism of charging process was simulated and analyzed. The simulation was conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics® software, based on the laminar two-phase flow level-set interface coupling with the electrostatic interface. Meanwhile, different parameters (such as the ... Read More
In underground mining operations, the mined-out spaces (called stopes) need to be backfilled to maintain the stability of surrounding rock mass and increase the ore recovery. Cemented paste backfill (CPB), a mixture of water, binder, and tailings, has been intensively utilized in ... Read More
