In view of an energy system based on fluctuating renewable sources, the use of thermal energy storage (TES) systems plays a crucial role. In particular, large-scale underground water-based TES represent a promising solution as demonstrated by a number of cases currently being established ... Read More
Our atmosphere, land, and water are being continuously besieged by pollutants caused by such events as heavy metals leaching from mine tailing ponds, chemical spills from railroad and truck tanker accidents, and petroleum pipeline failures, to name just a few. These environmental ... Read More
Array-based technologies are important for many applications in drug discovery, microbiology and cell biology. A large-scale array of single cells allows high-throughput monitoring of behaviors of individual cells in parallel, avoiding the lack of cell specificity inherent to bulk ... Read More
Particle velocimetry using image analysis is an effective non-intrusive method used for fluid velocity field estimation in micro-channels. We use COMSOL with MATLAB to generate velocity fields for micro-channel designs and then calculate changes in particle position for given imaging ... Read More
Technical advancements in miniaturization in the last decades have, among others, brought forth the technology of so called “Lab-on-a-Chip” (LOC) systems. These systems provide the possibility to automate and accelerate certain laboratory processes, e.g., biomedical diagnostics, on the ... Read More
The present author’s specialty is Aerodynamics, a field in which problems in unbounded fluid domains are common. The COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software's support of Infinite Elements is attractive as a tool for addressing such problems. Be that as it may, neither the COMSOL ... Read More
Laser additive manufacturing has become an interesting field of engineering which is revolutionizing industrial processes. Selective Laser melting (SLM) is a widely used additive manufacturing technique for 3D printing of metal structures. This process has a particular complexity in ... Read More
Additive manufacturing is attracting more and more interest. Laser Cladding is one of these additive manufacturing processes. For this a quasi-stationary physical based 3D process model is presented, which has been developed taking into account heat transfer, melt pool fluid flow ... Read More
High-intensity discharge lamps will in the foreseeable future be important light sources despite a growing market share of LEDs. Cost and energy efficient high frequency (300 kHz) operation is hampered by the excitation of acoustic resonances inside the arc tube, which results in low ... Read More
In this work, a COMSOL model that predicts velocity and concentration fields inside an X-shaped millichannel (4 mm diameter) is developed. Water and a ink low concentration are injected simultaneously in the two inlets of the device. The mass transfer problem is solved by a Fickian ... Read More
