Design and safety analyses are underway to convert the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) from a high-enriched uranium (HEU) fuel to a low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. The primary constraint for the project is that the overall fuel plate ... Read More
The corrosion at cut-made edges is significant due to the anode to cathode surface ratio in this region. The major problems are the risks of red rust appearance at the exposed steel surface, and the risks of paint delamination in case of insufficient corrosion protection. The work ... Read More
Standing column wells (SCW) are open-loop geoexchange systems used to provide space heating and cooling to buildings. As they use groundwater as heat carrier fluid and modify its thermo-chemical conditions along the year, they may favor calcite dissolution and precipitation, thus ... Read More
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 ...

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
Full coupling of distributed parameter models, like COMSOL, with the lumped models often lead to very time-consuming simulation duration times. In order to improve the speed of the simulations, the idea of using system identification methods to implement the distributed parameters models ... Read More
Two finite element models have been developed to investigate the acoustic radiation from a Pratt truss train bridge. The first model was a time dependent structural model that determined the vibration response of the structure due to two wheels, representing a single axle, moving across ... Read More
The main aim of the present work is the study of the thermal and energy performances of the new hall of the Old St.Maria Nuova Hospital in the center of Florence (Italy). Transient simulations were carried out of the 3D model of the hall to analyse the air flow patterns, distribution and ... Read More
INTRODUCTION: Microfluidics, as a crucial technology of recent years, enables numerous applications for Point-of-Care-Testing such as Lab-on-Chip-Systems (LOC) or Micro-Total-Analysis-Systems (µTAS) and is exceptionally well-suited for cell sorting or DNA trapping. Especially the ... Read More
Finite element analysis (FEA) can be used to study the electrical properties of conductive ITO thin films. Previous studies have been done on insulating thin films deposited on conductive substrates [1,2]. It was found that changes of electrode size and film thicknesses can cause huge ... Read More
