[1] Department of Physics and Space Science, Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston, ON, Canada
[2] Hatch Ltd., Mississauga, ON, Canada

Pyrometallurgical furnaces are used to produce metals such as copper, nickel and platinum by the smelting process. During smelting, the undesired material components are separated from the desired metal resulting in the formation of a slag and matte/metal phase. The slag phase ... Read More

Implementation of a Modified Anisotropic Creep Model for Clays with Use of the Physics Builder

M. Karlsson [1], J. Yannie [1],
[1] Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden

In this work a modified anisotropic creep model with structure for soft soils was implemented by using the Physics Builder. The model is validated against boundary value laboratory test such as undrained tri-axial tests and CRS (constant rate of strain) tests. The implemented user ... Read More

Simplified CFD Modeling of Air Pollution Reduction by Means of Greenery in Urban Canyons

S. Lazzari [1], K. Perini [1], E. R. di Schio [2], E. Roccotiello [3],
[1] University of Genova, Dept. of Sciences for Architecture, Genova, Italy
[2] University of Bologna, Dept. of Industrial Engineering, Bologna, Italy
[3] University of Genova, Dept. of Sciences of Earth, Environment and Life, Genova, Italy

As known, air quality in urban areas is dramatically affected in particular by the noteworthy presence of respirable suspended particulate matter (such as PM2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC), which are mainly due to traffic-induced emissions. On the ... Read More

Implementation of COMSOL Multiphysics® in Simulink® S-Functions, Revisited

A.W.M. van Schijndel[1]
[1]Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands

COMSOL Multiphysics® has standard facilities to export models to SimuLink®. Normally, the standard export works well if the solvers, available in SimuLink, can handle the problem. However, if a model in COMSOL Multiphysics® needs special solvers, for example airflow or other non-linear ... Read More

Easy Teaching of Numerical Simulation of Welding with COMSOL®

I. Tomashchuk [1], P. Sallamand [1], J.-P. Chateau-Cornu [1],
[1] Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne, Université de Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Le Creusot, France

The initiation in numerical modeling of welding with COMSOL Multiphysics® is proposed to the 2nd year students of the professional master program «Processes, Controls, Metallic Materials: Nuclear Industry» (PC2M) of University of Burgundy, France since 2016 within the module «Simulation ...

CFD Based Optimisation of a Laboratory Scale Silo

A. Egedy [1], A. Rado [1],
[1] University of Pannonia, Faculty of Engineering, Veszprém, Hungary

The flow simulation of solid, particulate materials is still challenging, even though estimations show that three-quarters of products and raw materials are present as granules form in the industry. We can think of grain in the agriculture, raw materials of the glass industry, granulated ... Read More

Parametric Study of Electrolyte-Supported Planar Button Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

A. Aman[1], R. Gentile[1], Y. Xu[1], N. Orlovskaya[1]
[1]Department of Mechanical, Materials and Aerospace Engineering, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, USA

Fuel cells are devices that convert chemical energy of a fuel into electrical energy through electrochemical processes. One of the types of fuel cell is the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) that uses solid ceramics for electrolytes. Numerical simulation involves constructing a mathematical ... Read More

Inclusive Routine of the Soil Surface Energy Balance in COMSOL Multiphysics®

[1]Department of Engineering, University of Ferrara, Este, Italy
[2]Department of Architecture, University of Ferrara, Este, Italy
[3]Faculty of Engineering, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK

In ground-coupled heat pumps (GCHPs) the coupling between heat pumps and ground occurs by means of ground heat exchangers, that can be installed vertically inside boreholes (BHEs) or horizontally (HGHEs). In the horizontal installation, the heat exchangers are placed in shallow trenches ... Read More

Highest Pulsed Magnetic Fields in Science and Technology, Assisted by Advanced Finite-Element Simulation

Thomas Herrmannsdörfer

Dr.
Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Germany

Thomas Herrmannsdörfer got his PhD in experimental physics from the University of Bayreuth in 1994. In 1995, he received the Research Award of the Emil-Warburg-Foundation while he worked at the DFG-Graduiertenkolleg Bayreuth. From 1995 – 1998 he worked as a scientist at Hahn-Meitner ... Read More

Zinc Corrosion in a Crevice

C. Taxén, and D. Persson
Swerea-Kimab, Stockholm, Sweden

Corrosion of metals in confined zones is a big industrial problem. The electrochemistry of such localized corrosion processes is complicated by the impact of the corrosion processes on the composition of the local solution. In the present problem, local interaction with the atmosphere ... Read More
