In this paper, detail magnetostructural analysis of fusion grade superconducting toroidal field coils that are used in ‘tokamaks’ is presented. The stresses that arise due to Lorentz forces in large size superconducting coils that carry high currents are of catastrophic type in nature. ... Read More
我国南海地区常年高温高湿、雨量充沛、太阳辐照强度大，风速大且风中包含大量水汽，处于多强场耦合的热带海洋环境下，建筑围护结构承受着远高于大陆地区的热湿压力。尽管我国已开始对南海地区进行开发建设，但尚无相应的建筑热工设计指标体系进行指导，使得热工选材无据可依，围护结构设计有所失真。作为指标体系建立的重要基础研究工作，探究极端热湿气候下围护结构热湿耦合传递特点具有重要的科学价值和实际意义。本文针对南海地区建立了一维瞬态热湿耦合传递模型，利用Comsol数学模块系数型PDE接口进行了求解，探讨了热量传递、水分传输过程中相关参数的变化特点 ... Read More
The most common method for in-situ recovery of oil sands is Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD). SAGD is based on injecting pressurized steam into the ground to heat up the highly viscous bitumen and reduce its viscosity allowing oil to flow. This process is energy and emissions ... Read More
The U.S. Naval Academy has used COMSOL as a research tool for many years. Academic usage of COMSOL for student use has only begun in the last five years. Student involvement comes in four types, course-wide usage, focused course related work, student projects and semester-long research ... Read More
We discuss the use of COMSOL Multiphysics 3.4 in the aerodynamic optimization process of the UNLV solarpowered UAV. We also address the use of COMSOL’s Multiphysics ability and how it was used within the scope of the project. In particular we highlight the development of wingtip devices, ... Read More
Ground-coupled heat pumps (GCHP) are successfully installed since at about 20 years in many countries to fulfill space conditioning requirements in building applications. In most cases the heat pump is connected to a system of vertical ground heat exchangers (as illustrated in Figure 1) ... Read More
Current trends of research aims at the reduction of conventional fossil fuel consumption so as to mitigate anthropogenic global warming and thus to combat with the climate change. This can be done by shifting to more efficient, alternate, non-conventional and environmental friendly ... Read More
The paper addresses a class of problems for modeling and consequently simulating the electromagnetic field radiation pattern from two arms Archimedes spiral coils. The frequency spatial wavelengths relative to the coil dimensions are in a range where the electromagnetic Maxwell’s ... Read More
This poster focuses on the development of practical acoustic metamaterials for the reduction of low frequency industrial noise. High noise levels generated by industrial machinery can cause major environmental problems and stakeholders are looking for novel solutions. Particular ... Read More
In this study fluid-dynamical and thermal performance of active chilled beams is investigated by 2D and 3D modelling in COMSOL Multiphysics. Three different typologies of those air conditioning systems are considered. Results, obtained for typical range of variation of operational ... Read More
