Using COMSOL® for the Development of the UK’s Second Hyperloop Prototype
Hyperloop is a future concept of mass transportation proposed by Elon Musk. It uses electromagnetic propulsion to accelerate a passenger or cargo pod through a low-pressure tube. HYPED, the University of Edinburgh’s Hyperloop Team has created a prototype that uses linear halbach arrays ... En savoir plus
Modeling the Hyperloop with COMSOL®: on the Design of the EPFLoop Pressurized Systems
The Hyperloop is a concept system targeting passenger transportation aiming to carry people in a pod running in a high vacuum tube at 1200 km/h. In 2015, SpaceX announced that they would sponsor a Hyperloop pod design competition, because of their interest in helping to accelerate the ... En savoir plus
Detailed Axial Symmetrical Model of Large-Scale Underground Thermal Energy Storage
Seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) systems are key components for expanding the renewables share in the energy scheme as they offer the dispatchability and flexibility. Therefore, thermal behaviour of such systems is of interest. STES can influence the surroundings causing a ... En savoir plus
Simulation of Laser-Excited Surface Acoustic Waves Travelling on a Steel Hemisphere Shell
Non-contacting guided wave tomography based on laser ultrasonic waves can be used to inspect structures that are inaccessible to traditional ultrasound methods. Such structures could be, chemically or physically hard to reach, e.g. hot metal structures, metal implants inside tissue or ... En savoir plus
The Numerical Challenges in Multiphysical Modeling of Laser Welding with ALE
The interaction of high power laser beam with metallic materials produces a number of interconnected phenomena that represent a serious challenge for numerical modeling, especially for creation of auto-consistent models. Additional difficulty consists in lack of data on materials ... En savoir plus
Simulation of 1D Heat Distribution in Heavy Oil Reservoirs During Steam Injection Process
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is expanding worldwide to produce more oil from the existing reservoirs to fulfil the demand of the global consumption, which increases on yearly basis. Thermal methods like steam injection and its variations are the most famous methods applied in heavy oil ... En savoir plus
Thermo-Fluid-Metallurgical Modeling and Parametric Study of Laser-Based Powder Bed Fusion Process
Laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a promising additive manufacturing technology, where metallic parts are produced in a layer-wise manner. At each step, a rapid-moving laser irradiates and subsequently melts predefined zones of a relatively thin layer of fine spherical metal ... En savoir plus
Modeling Solid-Liquid Settling System as a Two-Phase Flow Problem
Sedimentation is a challenging two-phase problem to model and simulate. Many applications in the industry use sedimentation for separation. For example treatment of wastewater often carried out in settling basins. Different types of the sedimentation process include independent and zone ... En savoir plus
Application for Construction and Numerical Analysis of New Melting Elements
ETI is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of fuses. Different standard sizes, rated voltages, rated currents and tripping characteristics mean more than 750 different types of products. Additionally, our customers sometimes require fuses specifically designed for their needs. Our ... En savoir plus
Simulating Approaches for Heating Process in Continuous Furnaces
Heating of pieces evolving in tunnel furnaces is an argument of high interest in several industrial processes such as thermal treatment of metals, glass production and food industry.Because of pieces move into the furnace, heat flux they receive from fixed heat sources is variable in ...
