Modeling Interface Response in Cellular Adhesion

G. Megali[1], D. Pellicanò[1], M. Cacciola[1], F. Calarco[1], D. De Carlo[1], F. Laganà[1], and F.C. Morabito[1]

[1]DIMET Department, Faculty of Engineering, University “Mediterranea” of Reggio Calabria, Reggio Calabria, Italy

Constitutive properties of living cells are able to withstand physiological environment as well as mechanical stimuli occurring within and outside the body. We examined fluid flow and Neo-Hookean deformation related to the rolling effect. A mechanical model to describe the cellular ... Read More

Finite Element Approach for Optimizing the Cooling of the Metallic Bipolar plates for Fuel Cell Applications

E. Firat[1,2], C. Siegel[1,2], L. Kühnemann[1,2], P. Beckhaus[1], and A. Heinzel[1,2]
[1]Zentrum für Brennstoffzellentechnik (ZBT) GmbH, Duisburg, Germany
[2]University of Duisburg Essen, Duisburg, Germany

Metallic bipolar plates promise several advantages for fuel cell applications. On the other hand, cooling of these plates is a critical task regarding design optimization. The high thermal conductivity of the material and the complex geometry of these plates affect directly the cooling ... Read More

CFD Analysis of Loss Of Vacuum Accident for Safety Application in Experimental Fusion Reactor Facility

C. Bellecci[1], P. Gaudio[1], I. Lupelli[1], A. Malizia[1], M.T. Porfiri[2], R. Quaranta[1], and M. Richetta[1]

[1]EURATOM, Faculty of Engineering, University of Rome “Tor Vergata”, Roma, Italy
[2]ENEA Nuclear Fusion Tecnologies, Frascati, Roma, Italy

In an experimental nuclear fusion facility dust is generated both during normal machine operations and by macroscopic erosion of the plasma facing materials due to intense thermal loads. This dust can be mobilized by air ingress in case of LOVA (Loss of Vacuum Accident) threaten safety ... Read More

Embedded Microfluidic/Thermoelectric Generation System for Self-Cooling of Electronic Devices

Vibration and music therapies are non-invasive treatments having effective results although their basics are still disputed. By the application of COMSOL Multiphysics® software for modeling and analysis, some of the nonlinear physical phenomena laying on these applications may be ... Read More

Modeling of Usage of Air Injection Well in a Geothermal System

X. Ma[1] and J. Grabe[1]

[1]Institude for Geotechnics and Construction Management, Hamburg University of Technology, Hamburg, Germany

Natural groundwater flow can increase the efficiency of geothermal system. But groundwater flow is not available everywhere. A patented new idea is to use air injection well to create artificial flow in sandy or gritty soils. The governing equations of fluid flow and heat transfer ... Read More

Propagation of Cathode-Directed Streamer Discharges in Air

Y. Serdyuk[1]
[1]Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden

Streamers are considered as main cause of electrical breakdown in air at atmospheric pressure. A streamer is an ionization wave propagating in neutral gas which is converted into low-temperature plasma behind its front. A streamer model is based on drift-diffusion approach where space ...
