Modeling Convection during Melting of a Phase Change Material

D. Groulx, and R. Murray
Mechanical Engineering
Dalhousie University
Halifax, NS
Canada

COMSOL Multiphysics can be used to model a latent heat energy storage system. A 2D numerical study was performed to simulate melting of a PCM including both conduction and convective heat transfer. The heat transfer in fluids and laminar flow physics interfaces were used. To model ... Read More

Modeling and Simulation of Artificial Core-Shell Based Nanodielectrics for Electrostatic Capacitors Applications

D. Musuwathi Ekanath[1], N. Badi[1], and A. Bensaoula[2]
[1]Center for Advanced Materials, University of Houston, Houston, TX
[2]Dept. of Physics, University of Houston, Houston, TX

The need for high storage capacitors led to the development of polymer based capacitors. Polymers have high processability, mechanical flexibility, electrical breakdown strength and compatibility with printed circuit board (PCB) technologies; but usually have very low permittivity (K). ...

[1]Siemens AG, Corporate Research & Technologies, Munich, Germany
[2]Comsol Multiphysics GmbH, Göttingen, Germany

This paper reports the design of a piezoelectric energy harvesting micro generator for an energy autonomous tire pressure monitoring wireless sensor node. For our design we use a piezoelectric MEMS generator approach without additional mass. The intrinsic mass of the cantilever is in the ... Read More

Numerical Study of Heat Transfer Effect of Wire EDM on P91, SS304, Al 1050 using COMSOL Multiphysics®

S. Bhattacharya[1], A. Mishra[1], G. Dey[1], V. Kain[2]
[1]Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay, Mumbai, India
[2]Homi Bhabha National Institute, Anushaktinagar, Mumbai, India

Wire Electric Discharge Machining (WEDM) is widely used technique for machining intricate geometries. It is a spark erosion, non contact machining process and this gives it an advantage in machining metals irrespective of their hardness [1]. Main process parameters of WEDM are peak ... Read More

Aquifer Pumping Test Evaluation: 1D Classical vs. 2D Numerical Solutions

E. Holzbecher¹
¹German University of Technology in Oman

In a pumping test the drawdown of the water table in a piezometer is recorded, as response to pumping from a nearby well. Pumping tests belong into the common toolbox of hydro-geologists, used to obtain basic parameters for aquifer characterization. There are various approaches to ... Read More

Numerical Prototyping of Locally Heated Digital Microfluidic Devices

C. Ozen [1], G. Sathyanarayanan [1], S. Cito [2], T. Sikanen [1],
[1] Faculty of Pharmacy, Drug Research Programme, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
[2] Department of Mechanical Engineering, Rovira i Virgili University, Tarragona, Spain

An alternative approach to integration of a local heat source with the digital microfluidic (DMF) platform by attaching inkjet-printed silver microheaters to the bottom plate was recently introduced (Sathyanarayanan et al., MNE 2017). This approach allows more degrees of freedom to the ... Read More

Modeling of Kinetic Interface Sensitive Tracers for Two Phase Immiscible Flow in Porous Media with COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

A.-B. Tatomir[1], F. Maier[1], A. Jyoti[1], M. Sauter[1]
[1]Geoscience Centre of the University of Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany

The understanding of the tracer migration in two-phase porous media systems and its reaction over the fluid-fluid interfaces is a challenging task important for a number of engineering applications, e.g. oil recovery, carbon capture and storage in geological reservoirs, remediation ... Read More

[1] Volkswagen AG, Wolfsburg, Germany
[2] Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics, German Aerospace Center (DLR), Stuttgart, Germany; Helmholtz Institute Ulm for Electrochemical Energy Storage (HIU), Ulm, Germany; Institute of Electrochemistry, University of Ulm, Ulm, Germany

Due to the rapid growth of the electromobility market much effort currently is being put into investigating electric vehicle batteries. Optimizing the microstructure of the cell components is playing an important role in extending range, enhancing fast charging capabilities and reducing ... Read More

Mechanical Damage Models for Concrete

M. Laviña [1], A. Idiart [1],
[1] Amphos 21 Consulting S.L., Barcelona, Spain

Damage models can be used to simulate the quasi-brittle behaviour of cementitious materials, since they can represent cracking in a smeared-way under various loading conditions. COMSOL Multiphysics® developed a functionality to access external material models for structural mechanics in ... Read More
