The ever-growing complexity of samples which need to be processed in e.g., environmental and biomedical/biochemical research, demand higher efficiencies of analytical techniques. Liquid chromatography (LC), mass spectrometry, among others, are analytical techniques that revolutionized ... Read More
MEMS microphones have been widely adopted in a variety of consumer electronic systems. To ensure clear speech transmission and avoid degradation of important signals, careful tuning of microphone port geometry is essential to mitigate wind-induced airborne noise. This additional noise ... Read More
We present a problem-adapted finite element model, which enables the design of a novel type of a highly miniaturized, electrostatic MEMS membrane pump, as well as the investigation and the optimization of its operation. The electro-mechanical actuation scheme constitutes a strongly ... Read More
This paper describes using thermal structural interaction to model the shrinkage behavior in cement paste under drying. An inverse method of combining the finite element analysis and the least-squares method is implemented to fit experimentally determined shrinkage in order to obtain ... Read More

Recognized for its potential as a sustainable food source, seaweed farming has become pivotal in tackling future food security concerns, necessitating innovative solutions to achieve optimal, high-yield, and commercially viable production [1]. This work addresses gaps in aquaculture ... Read More
Energy harvesting from a fluid flow using piezoelectric materials is a relatively recent topic that has been investigated experimentally and numerically [1, 2]. Its possible application in natural water currents represents an interesting strategy to easily harvest renewable energy from ... Read More
This study focuses on optimizing the lengths of various structural components around a cylinder to minimize drag. Using COMSOL Multiphysics, numerical simulations involving Laminar Flow were performed. Key components optimized include an arrowhead positioned upstream and two flaps ... Read More
INTRODUCTION: The paper illustrates the use of COMSOL for obtaining the solution Ψ(x,y,t) as a solution to the time dependent nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). COMSOL previously was used to solve the time dependent NLSE in Ref.[1] as applied to quantum mechanics, however this is the ... Read More
As the demand for lightweight fibrous insulation materials in aerospace [1] and automotive [2] applications increases due to their benefits in reducing carbon footprints and costs [3], accurate prediction of thermal properties becomes crucial, particularly before production. The thermal ... Read More
