The present work formulates the dynamics of a slender structure as a long beam. This results in a PDE that is fourth-order in space, and second order in time. In COMSOL the coupling method is used to decompose this problem into two second-order equations, one for displacements, and one ... Read More
Harald Biller studied mathematics and physics at Darmstadt, London, and Würzburg. In 1999, he received his PhD from Stuttgart University, specializing in functional analysis, topology, and Lie theory. He worked as a lecturer at Darmstadt University until 2004, when he became a ... Read More
The dependency of electrochemical processes performances on mass transfer is well-known. Electrolyte flow in the vicinity of electrodes surface can enhance reactions due to increased mass transfer. This flow can be generated by the production of a gaseous phase, leading to a natural ... Read More
The convergence order of finite elements is related to the polynomial order of the basis functions used on each element, with higher order polynomials yielding better convergence orders. However, two issues can prevent this convergence order from being achieved: the lack of regularity of ... Read More
In this work the implementation of an optimization method [1, 2] for inverse heat transfer and for the sensor position correction, such as thermocouples, in COMSOL Multiphysics®and LiveLink™ for MATLAB® is presented. The inverse method is used to determine the unknown boundary condition ... Read More
Heat conduction problems can be divided into direct and inverse problems. In direct problems, the thermal boundary condition (heat flux or temperature) is given and its effect is calculated, while for inverse problems the boundary condition is determined based on its effect. For some ... Read More
Cellular-level oxygen consumption and cell viability models incorporating physiologically realistic assumptions and fully scaled 2D/3D geometries have been implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics for isolated pancreatic islets. Oxygen consumption was assumed to follow Michaelis-Menten–type ... Read More
A portable device that can identify protein and peptides real time in complex biological systems such as human bodily fluids reliably and accurately is in high demand to properly diagnose and treat medical conditions. Lynntech has developed an innovative Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based ... Read More
A fundamentally important area of the COMSOL Multiphysics® code is that of equation-based modeling. This root capability is unique in commercially-available codes and offers unlimited application. One specific area that requires more detail, even in the CFD Module of COMSOL®, is that ... Read More
A reaction between chemical species is modeled by a particular reaction pathway, in which one reaction is very fast relative to the other one. The diffusion controlled reactions of these species together with a reaction intermediate are described by a system of three transient reaction ... Read More
