In the conference we bring together a community that is scientifically diverse in an event about the use of COMSOL Multiphysics. Oral and poster presentations highlight achievements in multiphysics modeling and simulations using COMSOL. Read More
A laboratory exercise to learn PID controller tuning can be time consuming and taxing on the equipment. A purely equation-based, virtual controller tuning exercise might not seem relevant to real world processes. We have combined a physical process with a COMSOL Multiphysics model to ... Read More
Considering a liquid drop in relative movement with respect to the air flow at uniform velocity, the liquid will be driven to the surface by the viscous friction. Internal vortices will appear inside the drop. This problem has already been studied in fluid mechanics and is well known as ... Read More
Dielectrophoresis (or DEP) has been exploited for various micro and nano fluidics applications like patterning, sorting and separation. However, there are several commonly neglected issues in quantifying DEP forces. Such negligence could potentially lead to wrong DEP force predictions ... Read More
It is necessary to understand and control nanopore behavior in order to develop biosensors for a variety of applications including DNA sequencing. The fluidics of nanopore devices we fabricated exhibits a range of interesting phenomena, such as enhanced conductance and current ... Read More
Dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with a magnetite catalyst has been performed with a fixed bed flow type reactor under microwave irradiation. Microwave heating showed a temperature gradient in the catalyst bed. We analyzed an electromagnetic field and heat transfer in the microwave cavity ... 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
Quantum Dots (QDs) laser is expected to have a low threshold current density and high thermal stability. We propose the QDs laser with the half-etched mesa distributed feedback (HEM DFB) structure. We accurately calculated the coupling coefficient in a HEM waveguide using the finite ... Read More
Making a diameter of needle small is effective for reducing the pain of patients. However, thinning a needle leads to easy buckling in the puncturing process, because the aspect ratio of needle becomes high. We propose a method for avoiding buckling of thin needle by setting a guide ... Read More
The sensing without batteries can be realized by harvesting the unused energy in environment. The capacitive harvester can generate, since the capacitance between electrodes is changed by vibration. There are two methods of producing change in capacitance: 1) change in overlapped area ... Read More
