COMSOL Multiphysics® is used in this study to simulate the flow around a square cylinder and focus on reducing the forces on the cylinder by passive control methods. Numerical simulations are made to find optimum cases of control methods that guarantee maximum reduction for Reynolds ... Read More

The advent of Micro/Nano fluidic technologies has enabled researchers from various fields to use these advancements for analysis and experiments. In this work we present such a device that can be used for analyzing coagulation of blood in a microchannel by measuring the displacement of ... Read More

Convective deposition is a material processing technique where an evaporating meniscus of a colloidal suspension is dragged along a solid substrate to deposit layers of micro or nanoparticles. The process is a typical multiphysics process where fluid dynamics, mass and heat transfer come ... Read More

Single turn coils are used in pulsed magnetic technologies for which both magneto-harmonic and transient magnetic analysis are required. We suggest studying one single turn coil example made of a conducting massive coil, an optional conducting field shaper and an internal conducting tube ... Read More

After rapid mixing of waste water and coagulant, an effective slow mixing during a reasonable retention time will cause to grow the size of flocs up which will settle out easily. Around-the-end hydraulic mixer with barriers is one of the efficient facilities that have been used in water ... Read More

We propose a simplified numerical method to model the flow field downstream of an axial impeller. The method can be used for any axial hydraulic machinery for which, one is less interested by the flow between the blades, than by the flow field downstream of the machinery. The method is ...

This paper presents thermo-mechanical models for predicting the strength of polymer laminates loaded in tension or compression exposed to one-sided radiant heating by fire. The first part is the fire simulation where the FDS model is utilized. The FDS model generates a solution of ... Read More

The article deals with the application of the Hartmann effect in high power laser beam welding of aluminum. The movement of liquid metal in a magnetic field causes electric currents which build a Lorentz force that decelerates the original flow. The numerical model calculates the ... Read More

Introduction In this study, we investigate the damping mechanisms of particle resonances in acoustofluidic systems using the finite element framework of COMSOLTM. In the field of acoustic micro-manipulation, pressure waves are used for the contactless handling of micro-meter sized ... Read More

Considering a liquid drop in relative movement with respect to the air flow at uniform velocity, the liquid will be driven to the surface by the viscous friction. Internal vortices will appear inside the drop. This problem has already been studied in fluid mechanics and is well known as ... Read More
