Simulating Superconductors in AC Environment: Two Complemetary COMSOL Models
In this paper we present a summary of our work on numerical modeling of superconductors with COMSOL Multiphysics®. We discuss the two models we utilized for this purpose: a 2-D model based on solving Maxwell equations and a 1-D model for thin conductors based on solving the integral ... Read More
Screening Effects in Probing the Electric Double Layer by Scanning Electrochemical Potential Microscopy
A computational method is developed to study probing the electric double layer by Scanning Electrochemical Potential Microscopy. The model is based on a modified Poisson- Boltzmann equation, which takes into account steric effects. We investigated the effect of metallic apex protrusion ... Read More
Chaotic Behavior of the Airflow in a Ventilated Room
Chaotic systems may lead to instability, extreme sensitivity and performance reduction. Therefore it is unwanted in many cases. Due to these undesirable characteristics of chaos in practical systems, it is important to recognize such a chaotic behavior. The existence of chaos has been ... Read More
A Study of Laser Doppler Anemometer Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
Laser anemometers based on application of Doppler Effect have been developed and are used in-flight, on aircrafts for measurement of air flow parameters, mainly its speed versus the airplane. The air speed measurements are vital for safe flights. The main basic idea of Doppler techniques ... Read More
The Optical Properties of a Truncated Spherical Cavity Embedded in Gold
The use of plasmonic effects to dramatically enhance the electromagnetic field near the surface of a metallic nanostructured surface has grown into a large research area in the effort to take advantage of the surface enhanced field. In this paper the electromagnetic field near a nano ... Read More
COMSOL in the Academic Environment at USNA
The U.S. Naval Academy has used COMSOL as a research tool for many years. Academic usage of COMSOL for student use has only begun in the last five years. Student involvement comes in four types, course-wide usage, focused course related work, student projects and semester-long research ... Read More
Modeling the Bacterial Clearance in Capillary Network Using Coupled Stochastic-Differential and Navier-Stokes Equations
The capillary network is a complex-interconnected structure. A single blood cell traveling from the arteriole to a venule via a capillary bed passes through, on average, 40−100 capillary segments. The cardiovascular systems responsible of delivering blood to the tissue under sufficient ... Read More
An Acoustical Finite Element Model of Perforated Elements
The present work deals with a numerical investigation of resonating systems used for noise control applications. In literature one can find analytical models based on fluiddynamics concepts for evaluating losses occurring across the holes of the perforates. In the paper an acoustical ... Read More
Analysis of Sound Propagation in Lined Ducts by Means of a Finite Element Model
The present paper describes the results of a Finite Element Model used to analyze sound propagation in lined ducts. By means of a numerical model it was possible to predict the insertion loss inside rectangular lined ducts in a frequency range from 250 Hz to 4000 Hz. The model was ... Read More
Temperature Distribution in High Voltage Dummy Cable
A 2D model of coupled electricthermal application is used to calculate the temperature distribution in a high voltage dummy cable laid in free air, where no high voltage is applied. Resistive loss heats the cable while the surrounding air cools it down. The steady-state condition is ... Read More
