Parametric and topology optimization approaches are widely used techniques for performance improvement of components in terms of various objectives. Especially topology optimization often leads to complex geometries that are difficult or impossible to produce by conventional ... Read More
The presence of a moving fluid in a porous rock modifies its mechanical response. Poroelasticity explains how the fluid inside the pores bears a portion of the total load supported by the rock. The remaining part of the load is supported by the elastic skeleton, which contains a laminar ... Read More
This paper presents a preliminary analysis of the coupled thermo-hydrodynamics and neutronics of circulating nuclear fuel systems in a nuclear reactor that adopts a molten salt mixture. This flows up through channels in a graphite moderated core and plays the role of both heat generator ... Read More
In biotechnology and medicine, cells are frequently grown on scaffolds with a three-dimensional channel structure. The oxygen and nutrient supply of the cells is realized by a medium flowing through the channels of the scaffolds. However, it is often difficult to obtain a confluent ... Read More
The frequency dependent electrical impedance of porous media is studied by modelling the charge transport in the electrolyte filled pore space using COMSOL Multiphysics. The corresponding experimental method, called Spectral Induced Polarization (or Impedance Spectroscopy), shows a ... 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
This paper explores the performance of a microfluidic mixer that uses a sinusoidal electric field to accelerate the diffusion process between two Newtonian liquid species in an electrolytic solution. The 2D model was developed using the Microfluidics module in the COMSOL Multiphysics® ... Read More
Porous media fluid dynamic modeling has been widely explored and utilized in many academic and industrial applications. Cross flow filtration being one attractive application, whereas the fluid and filtrate flow parallel the porous media, and thereby induce shearing stress along the ... Read More
Finite elements using COMSOL Multiphysics have been used to simulate the edge plasma in a large area capacitively coupled RF reactor. In order to reduce numerical difficulties simplified reactor edge geometries have been used. First results show the importance of electrostatic double ... Read More
Electricity has become the main source of heat, power, and light used in the modern world. Much of the technological advances made over the last few decades are due to electrical energy. One of the essential components of the electrical system is the grounding network. The continuous ... Read More
