Our goal is to reproduce the key features of carangiform swimming by running 2D simulations which fully exploit the Fluid-Structure Interaction interface of COMSOL Multiphysics software. Fish swimming is an important area of research, with relevant developments on biomechanics, robotics ... Read More
The high flow rate within the HFIR cooling water flow channel causes the fuel plates to deflect which in turn, changes the coolant flow characteristics. This nonlinear feedback loop between the coolant and the fuel plate is the focus of the present simulation of the fluid-solid ... Read More
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
Functionally graded materials (FGM) are those that contain chemical, phase or structural gradients. Whilst the design of functionally graded structures is well researched in areas such as shape optimisation and topology optimization, their manufacture is still in development. One ... Read More
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a bulge formed in the large blood vessels that supply blood to the abdomen, pelvis, and legs. A fluid structure interaction model was developed in a 3D aortic aneurysm model, which was constructed from abdominal CT scan images. Combining medical ... Read More
One of the most effective treatments for diabetes type 1 and 2 is the administering Insulin. The design of positive volumetric insulin pump is significantly a multiphysics problem where the volumetric change of the main pump chamber and the pumped fluid are directly coupled. We used ... Read More
Partial differential equations on unknown domains is a mathematical problem that arises in many applications. Several examples can be easily found in the dynamics of free surfaces in fluid dynamics or in fluid-structure interactions. In many situations, large deformations are encountered ... Read More
Viscous damping has a significant effect on dynamic performance of the resonators operating within fluid. This work is aimed to find the viscous damping for MEMS torsional paddle operating in air. Interaction of moving structure with the fluid requires a complicated and challenging ... Read More
Large centrifugal compressors, which are commonly applied in the oil and gas and in the process industry, may fail due to vibrations of the impeller. These vibrations are induced by pressure pulsations in a compressor stage. These vibrations can be especially strong in so-called dense ... Read More
With offshore oil and gas exploration and production moving into ever deeper waters, the suspended length of marine risers (transporting hydrocarbons from the seabed to the surface) can easily exceed 3000 meters. One of the major design requirements for risers in (ultra) deep water is to ... Read More
