For simulation simplicity the electrodes are integrated ... Read More

The Geometrical Optimization of MSFL Pad Design by COMSOL Multiphysics® and Design of Experiments

T. Hao[1], J. M. Singer[1]
[1]GE Oil & Gas, Farnborough, UK

Introduction Micro-Spherically Focused Logging (MSFL) tool is a microresistivity open-hole logging tool designed to measure the resistivity of the flushed zone, a region of formation close to the borehole, independent of any mudcake on the borehole wall. Original designs of MSFL were ... Read More

Structural Optimization of the AISHa Ion Source

We present quantitative nano-scale analysis of the 3D spatial structure of an anticorrosive aluminium epoxy barrier marine coating obtained by ptychographic X-ray computed tomography (PXCT) [1-3]. We then use COMSOL Multiphysics® software to perform simulations on the acquired real 3D ... Read More

Baffle Design: Tube-in-Shell Electrical Gas Heaters

K. Lund[1], S. Lord[2]
[1]Kurt Lund Consulting, San Diego, CA, USA
[2]SML Associates, Encinitas, CA, USA

It is frequently necessary to electrically heat gases; a convenient geometry is the familiar tube-in-shell heat exchanger, where the tube side is modified for electrical heater-rods, and the baffled shell side contains the flowing gas, as indicated in Fig. 1. However, this modification ... Read More

Analysis and Development of Koch Fractal Dipole Antennas

V. S. Wildner[1], M. G. Vanti[1]
[1]Regional University of Blumenau - FURB, Blumenau, SC, Brazil

Devices of mobile communication require smallest sizes of antennas. This is one of the applications of fractal antennas which have reduced size or are multiband and can be used for mobile phone, RFID, Wi-Fi, digital TV, among other applications. The Koch fractal geometry allows better ... Read More

Understanding Logging-While-Drilling Transducers with COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

R. Jiang[1], L. Mei[1], X. Liu[2], H. Li[2], Q. Zhang[1]
[1]Department of Electrical Engineering, Materials Research Institute, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA
[2]Department of Technical Services, China Oilfield Services Limited, Yanshan, Hebei, China

Logging-while-drilling (LWD) acoustic transducers provide real-time data about the geologic and geophysical properties of the borehole that ensure safety margins and optimize completion. It is important to understand what causes the different resonance modes in the transmitter and obtain ... Read More

Fluid Dynamics Analysis of Gas Stream in a Plasma Torch Reactor
