A COMSOL Multiphysics® model is used to optimise the slot geometry of a large air-gap linear synchronous motor. Fixed dimensions are used for the pole pitch, stator depth, stator width and air-gap, since the amount of available space is usually limited. A parametric sweep of the slot ... Read More

The formulation of bimodular stress field is based on stress dependent elasticity and the simulations have been carried out using commercial finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The complexity of the problem is enhanced due to adding bimodular stress field in the ... Read More

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

Vibration and music therapies are non-invasive treatments having effective results although their basics are still disputed. By the application of COMSOL Multiphysics® software for modeling and analysis, some of the nonlinear physical phenomena laying on these applications may be ... Read More

Many liquid food processes involve coupled phenomena of fluid flow, heat transfer and product transformation. A typical example is the heat treatment of a starch suspension inside a tubular heat exchanger. Fluid flow influences heat transfer which determines temperature evolution along ... Read More

A model was developed to simulate the reaction, concentration field, flow field, and temperature distribution inside a Claus reactor for converting hydrogen sulfide to sulfur. The model considered two ideal reactors, a continuous stirred tank reactor and a plug flow reactor. As expected, ... Read More

COMSOL, adding SPICE® elements into its FEM, gives the possibility of a direct modeling of oscillators: triode and load are FEM described while all the other components of the circuit are just simulated using SPICE®. The modeling is not a straight application of any module but needs the ... Read More

Chemical reactions conducted under microwave irradiation have high reaction rates and high selectivity, but these reaction rates are not always reproducible. To achieve reproducibility, a solid-state microwave source with an ultra precise oscillator, high power amplifier module (HPA), ... Read More

Based on recent results from seismology, geochemistry etc. the distinct chemical character of the D’’ layer (lowest part of the mantle around the Earth’s core) has appeared unequivocally. Numerical calculations have been carried out to investigate the effect of the disintegration, mixing ... Read More

A discrete model for the prediction of relative ion bombardment flux and target erosion in planar sputtering magnetrons is implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics®. Planar magnetrons are used within physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes to form thin film depositions on various types of ... Read More
