Thermoelectric phenomena provide the direct conversion of heat into electricity or electricity into heat, the phenomena is described by three related mechanisms: the Seebeck, Peltier and Thomson effects. Thermoelectric devices have found many applications ranging from temperature ... Read More
A ball is in contact with a plane, and a lubricant separates the two surfaces to decrease friction during their relative motion. To avoid wear, the lubricant film thickness should be higher than the surface roughness. The goal of this paper is to show how it is possible to solve ... Read More
This work presents the application of mathematical methods of model order reduction (MOR) for automatic generation of highly accurate, compact models for wireless power transfer systems. We apply a block two-sided second order Arnoldi algorithm to automatically compute a compact model, ... Read More
This contribution is devoted to the mathematical modeling of the AC electroosmotic micropumps in COMSOL Multiphysics and Matlab. The mathematical model involves the microchannel surroundings and several AC-voltage driving modes. The weak form has been used for handling singularities and ... Read More
A micro Planar Ion Mobility Spectrometer (P-FAIMS) has been simulated using multiphysics software. In P-FAIMS target ions are discriminated by the application of the proper separation voltages to the electrodes of the system. Modelling of vapour phase ions of two compounds have been ... Read More
Simulation of laser pulse-train (25ns, 60 kHz and 3000 pulses) heating Sol-Gel thin film using COMSOL Multiphysics software is investigated. The results show two kinds of temperatures formed on film surface by laser pulse-train heating. One is a single pulse induced transient peak ... Read More
The understanding of pH-sensitive hydrogel swelling response in different buffer environmental condition is essential for its use in different practical applications. This necessitates its simulation in steady state and transient conditions. This paper mainly deals with the details of ... Read More
To understand origins and consequences of drying phenomenon during composting, a compositional drying model of a partially water-saturated porous media coupled with biodegradation has been developed. The different simulations carried out under COMSOL Multiphysics demonstrate the ability ... Read More
Streamers are considered as main cause of electrical breakdown in air at atmospheric pressure. A streamer is an ionization wave propagating in neutral gas which is converted into low-temperature plasma behind its front. A streamer model is based on drift-diffusion approach where space ... Read More
The method to derive upscaled expressions for the dispersion coefficients for reactive flow in a porous medium uses a periodic unit cell (PUC), which consists for instance of a spherical grain in a cube, but nothing prohibits defining more complex PUC's. Homogenization leads to a coupled ... Read More
