With the ReactorSTM the relationship between surface structure and catalyst activity under industrially relevant conditions can be investigated. It enables atomic-scale observations of model catalysts under conditions approaching those used by the chemical industry. It consists of a ... Read More
Functionally graded materials (FGM) are those that contain chemical, phase or structural gradients. Whilst the design of functionally graded structures is well researched in areas such as shape optimisation and topology optimization, their manufacture is still in development. One ... Read More
This study creates a 2D fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model to study the effect of magnetic field and particle aspect ratio on the period of rotation and symmetry of ellipsoidal paramagnetic particles. The results show that the magnetic field strength has a significant effect on the ... Read More
In this work we present a novel approach to enhance energy efficiency in cooling intake air for air conditioning (AC) systems in harsh environments using geothermal energy. We developed a 3D finite element model to simulate the heat transfer between underground soils/gravels and cooling ... Read More
Due to particle interactions, magnetic particles suspended in non-magnetic fields tend to form chains, clusters or columns under magnetic fields. The non-spherical magnetic particles in the suspension show different rheological properties compared to spherical particles. In this paper, ... Read More
This work is aimed to demonstrate how variation of geometries' parameters would affect the fluid loading effect in water using COMSOL Multiphysics and compared with analytical data. When a structure is placed in water, the interaction between the water and the structure plays an ... Read More
From microelectronics cooling to biological analysis and wearable therapeutic infusion systems, micropumps are steadily becoming a valuable and ubiquitous tool for fluid transport and thermal management. Hence, the development of novel actuation mechanisms that allow for precise ... Read More
The aim of this paper is to optimize with COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation, the design geometry of a near field biosensor which could be used for dielectrophoretic (DEP) immobilization and simultaneous sensing of biomolecules of the order of nanometers to micrometers. COMSOL Multiphysics® ... Read More
The throwing power is an important criterion for the industrial use of an electrolyte in electroplating applications. Using the Electrodeposition Module and COMSOL Multiphyiscs® it is possible to simulate the thickness distribution for various electroplating geometries. For a realistic ... Read More
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies requires finding new sources of energy. It turns out that the hydrothermal potential of the lakes would cover a significant part of these renewable energy needs. The existing Thermal Lacustrine Networks (TLNs) are efficient in summer ...
