In this paper we present a novel approach for modeling spatial distributed bio- chemical and environmental processes like the growth of plants and the related biochemical reactions. The physical phenomena like flow and mass transport can be described by fluid dynamics equations, but for ... Read More
Seals or gaskets that are compressed between walls of a container are important to many industrial applications. In this paper we present a fluid flow model for predicting the sealing performance of such seals. A computational study using COMSOL Multiphysics® software suggests very ... Read More
The paper investigates the hydrodynamic performance of a hierarchical parallel channel network for the objective of optimal thermal coupling to heat released in the adsorption processes, as in adsorption heat pumps. More specifically, the uniformity of the fluid flow over the network is ... Read More
The High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is an 85 MW, light-water moderated, research reactor that operates at low temperature and high pressure. The HFIR is presently scheduled to convert from a high enriched uranium fuel (HEU) to a low enriched ... Read More
Voids in composite materials can lead to degraded structural performance. The following is a study of voids or bubbles in uncured viscous polymer resin during composites processing. The goal is to determine if voids can successfully migrate towards vacuum pathways, coalesce with the ... Read More
Ventilation is mainly used to control indoor air quality and for the purpose of thermal comfort by diluting and displacing pollutants. Because of the effects it has on health, comfort, and serviceability, indoor air quality in our homes is becoming of increasing concern to many people. ... Read More
Fuel bundles in the CANDU (CANada Deuterium Uranium) reactor are designed for heating a pressurized coolant (heavy water) to generate electricity. The designs for the fuel bundles differ based on the number of heating elements. The flow of heavy water over the elements and inside the ... Read More
In this project, we attempted to determine the drug concentration in a breast cancer tumor after a drug has been delivered. We created a COMSOL Multiphysics® finite element model. We investigated the relationship between drug delivery efficiency and parameters such as diffusivity, ... Read More
Clustering is a common hydrodynamic characteristic observed among suspended gas-solid particles in a fast fluidized bed (FFB) regime of a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) system. In this paper clustering behavior has been studied with Geldart group B particles like coal and iron ore in a ... Read More
高温气冷堆中使用了大量的碳素材料，作为多孔材料，碳素材料含有一定水分等杂质。为了减小反应堆高温运行条件下的堆内材料腐蚀，高温堆在初装堆和事故后需要对一回路进行严格的加热除湿操作。目前一回路加热除湿主要是依靠主氦风机旋转，将动能转换为热能来提升温度。本文将采取另外一种方案，在蒸汽发生器处增加外加热源来加热一回路工质。基于大型商用软件COMSOL Multiphysics建立高温堆内一回路加热的流动传热模型，对两种加热方案的一回路升温过程作数值分析，为高温堆加热除湿方案的选择提供有益的指导。本文中使用的物理场为传热——共轭传热——湍流，多物理场耦合为非等温流动。 Read More
