In underground mining operations, the mined-out spaces (called stopes) need to be backfilled to maintain the stability of surrounding rock mass and increase the ore recovery. Cemented paste backfill (CPB), a mixture of water, binder, and tailings, has been intensively utilized in ... Read More
“页岩气革命”使美国成功摆脱了对他国能源的严重依赖，目前我国页岩气的勘探开发也已取得了突破性成果，但是随着页岩气的开发，仍存在三大问题困扰着科学工作者和现场工程师：（1）页岩气开发过程中的渗透率演化规律尚未摸清；（2）在产气过程中，页岩气在产量上往往呈现出不确定性；（3）缺乏针对页岩气进行历史拟合和产量预测的数学工具。针对以上三个主要问题，我们定义非常规储层固有渗透率的演化是裂隙和基质之间物质传输和应力传递的结果，并建立了离散体模型研究孔隙变形与流体流动之间的耦合作用；以此为基础，我们建立双基质双重孔隙介质模型（连续介质模型）研究页岩基质变形与流体流动之间的耦合关系 ...

The Atlantis massif is a domal submarine seamount close to the mid-Atlantic Ridge at 30 °N. Close to the crest of the Massif, the Lost City hydrothermal field (LCHF) has been active for at least 120,000 years, venting fluids with a temperature of 40-90 °C. 5 km north of Lost City, a ... Read More
The in-gas-jet laser ionization and spectroscopy method (Figure 1) that has been developed at KU Leuven allows to produce and to perform laser spectroscopy of short-lived radioactive isotopes created in different types of nuclear reactions [1,2]. To realize the advantages of in-gas-jet ... Read More
We present an easy-to-use toolbox for the automated generation of reduced-order mixed-level models for the evaluation of squeeze-film damping in microelectromechanical systems. The toolbox is programmed in JAVA and heavily exploits the functionality provided by the COMSOL API. The ... Read More
Engineering design studies of the feasibility of conversion of the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) from high-enriched uranium to low-enriched uranium fuel are ongoing at ORNL as part of an effort sponsored by the U.S. Global Threat Reduction Initiative program. HFIR is a very high flux, ... Read More
The four foot diameter class A evaporation pan is used by the scientific community as the standard for determining evaporation rates for a number of purposes. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software provides the necessary tools to adequately develop synthetic estimates of evaporation values ... Read More
Industrial fluid systems often involve continuous piping loops. These systems consist of varying lengths of pipes and hoses connecting multiple components together. Fluid resonances can detrimentally affect the operation of fluid systems and components. This work used COMSOL to ... Read More
Reformer and catalytic burners are common components in fuel cell systems, crucial for efficient preparation of fuel and exhaust gases of the fuel cell stack. We intend to show the influence of radiation to the temperature distribution inside of a reformer unit. The model consists of an ... Read More
Designing and constructing a lab-on-a-chip device poses a variety of questions. Transport of all required substances, detection of the analyte and its deposition on a sensor have to be incorporated. Different strategies have been developed to achieve good coverages of the sensor, like ... Read More
