Surface engineering is a key technology used in a wide range of sectors in industry. Among other techniques, it involves adding functionality to a surface. This can be performed by creating a specific topography to a surface using laser texturing. The objective of the work presented in ... Read More
Accurate tissue mechanical properties are essential for simulating medical devices that deform skin under suction, such as devices for the treatment of fat, skin wounds, and vascular skin conditions. While suction-based methods exist for estimating these properties, most rely on small ... Read More
High power CO2 lasers have been the workhorses for sheet metal cutting, welding and many more applications in materials processing during the past decades. Even though a significant replacement by fiber coupled lasers takes place, there are still many applications that benefit from the ... Read More
Laser metal deposition is widely adopted for coating, reparation and 3D printing. Using COMSOL, we have developed a numerical model with full coupling of laminar fluid flow and heat transfer. The Marangoni effect is considered to capture the enhanced convective heat transfer as well as ... Read More
Germanium-tin (Ge₁₋ₓSnₓ) microdisks are emerging as a promising platform for CMOS-compatible group-IV light sources due to their tunable direct bandgap and compatibility with silicon photonics. Their optical and electronic properties are critically influenced by tin concentration, strain ... Read More
The Laser Metal Deposition process (LMD) is a rapid free form fabrication method which can be used to manufacture new near net shape metallic components, to repair used ones or to add functional parts on existing ones. This process is composed by multiple gas streams flowing inside a ... Read More
The IR CO2 laser powered chemical conversions in the gas phase are intriguing and the researchers’ attention was focused on this transformation a while ago. The method, known as Infrared Laser Powered Homogeneous Pyrolysis, or IR LPHP opened reaction pathways not reached by conventional ... Read More
Synthetic jet actuators enhance flow control by generating pulsatile jets with zero net mass flux. There is a need to develop a computationally inexpensive model that can generate optimal geometric actuator designs of maximum jet performance. This work investigates the multi-physics ... Read More
Surface plasmons in metal rectangular gratings can form bands and band gaps in their dispersion relations, analogous to those in photonic band-gap crystals and electronic bands in semiconductors. Introducing a dielectric coating atop the metal redshifts the plasmonic band gap, enabling a ... Read More
Efficient mixing and pumping of liquids at the microscale is a technology that is still to be optimized. The combination of an AC electric field with a small temperature gradient leads to a strong electrothermal flow that can be used for multiple purposes. Combining simulations and ... Read More
