Finite Element Modeling of a Pulsed Eddy Current Probe for Steam Generator Tube Inspection

S. G. Mokros[1, 2], V. K. Babbar[1], T. W. Krause[1], J. Morelli[2]
[1]Department of Physics, Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston, ON, Canada
[2]Department of Physics, Engineering Physics and Astronomy, Queen's University, Kingston, ON, Canada

Steam generator (SG) tubes in CANDU® nuclear reactors can lose efficiency in the presence of corrosion and its by-products. Condition monitoring of support structures could help direct maintenance activities and thereby increase SG tube lifetime. Pulsed eddy current (PEC) has been ... Read More

Application of COMSOL to Acoustic Imaging

K. Mcilhany, and J.C Hernandez
U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD, USA

Acoustic Imaging of hand movement is being studied with COMSOL and Matlab. A hardware implementation is being pursued that will be an array of 16x16 ultra-sonic speakers placed in a grid facing a similar grid of 16x16 microphones, operating at 40kHz. COMSOL is used to repeatedly ... Read More

Modeling Spectral Emission Phenomena in Beryllium Plasma Using COMSOL Multiphysics

[1]Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest, Romania
[2]National Institute for Laser, Plasma and Radiation Physics, Bucharest, Romania
[3]University of Bucharest, Faculty of Physics, Bucharest, Romania

The purpose of this paper is to present a numerical modeling of plasma phenomena in beryllium emissions using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The Beryllium films were deposited on mirror polished fine grain graphite substrates using the Thermionic Vacuum Arc (TVA) technology available at ... Read More

Shape and Failure Control of Composite Laminates Using Piezoelectric Actuators

Z. Hasan
Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA

The present work focuses on the use of piezoelectric materials as actuators for shape control of composite laminates such as Lead Zircronate Titanate (PZT), and other piezoelectric fiber composites such as Active fiber composites (AFCs), Microfiber Composites (MFCs) which allow for ... Read More

Multiphysics Modelling of a Micro Valve

F. Bircher[1] and P. Marmet[1]

[1]Institute of Print Technology, Bern University of Applied Sciences, Burgdorf, Switzerland

Electromagnetic micro valves are currently developed empirically or the different physics are treated separately. To accelerate the development-process and for a better understanding of the overall system, a multiphysics simulation is built up. This simulation considers the ... Read More

Numerical Simulation of Electrostatic Charging Droplets in Microfluidic Devices

S. Yao[1], H. Zhou[1]
[1]HKUST, Hong Kong, China

In this paper, the mechanism of charging process was simulated and analyzed. The simulation was conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics® software, based on the laminar two-phase flow level-set interface coupling with the electrostatic interface. Meanwhile, different parameters (such as the ... Read More

Analysis of Burning Candle

J.S. Crompton, L.T. Gritter, S.Y. Yushanov, and K.C. Koppenhoefer
AltaSim Technologies LLC, Columbus, OH, USA

Analysis of burning candles is extremely complex; combustion produces a highly non-linear temperature profile through the flame in which local temperatures may exceed 1400 °C. Heat transfer includes radiation, conduction and convection components and the low melting point of the candle ... Read More
