In a pumping test the drawdown of the water table in a piezometer is recorded, as response to pumping from a nearby well. Pumping tests belong into the common toolbox of hydro-geologists, used to obtain basic parameters for aquifer characterization. There are various approaches to ... En savoir plus
Conventional eddy current techniques have been used to a great extent for detection of surface breaking defects in conductive materials. However, detection of sub-surface defects is limited due to the single frequency and skin effect phenomena. Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) techniques ... En savoir plus
New geothermal energy sources hold promise for the future. Deep submarine geothermal energy related to hydrothermal vents is emerging in many places along the oceanic spreading centers. Shallow submarine geothermal systems are found near to continental platforms. We present the initial ... En savoir plus
Otoacoustic emission (OAE) tests provide an objective examination of the cochlear function. However, the validity of OAE tests is affected negatively by calibration errors. This report sheds light on the evanescent waves arising at the interface between the OAE probe and the ear canal, ... En savoir plus
In biomedical research the use of animal models gives rise to several ethical problems. COMSOL Multiphysics® may be used as a non-animal technique, very useful in overcoming all these concerns. In this presentation a particular application in dermatology is shown. Bioheat equation ... En savoir plus
Sensors for industrial applications require electro-magnetic compatibility protection elements. It is an advantage to incorporate the protection elements directly in the application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). These protection elements however experience significant heating. It ...

This work computationally characterizes a new bipolar electrochemical sensing scheme recently developed for inexpensive detection of heavy metals in water. The sensing scheme employs a two-step optical anodic strip voltammetry protocol that couples a closed bipolar electrochemical cell ... En savoir plus
We present a detailed 2D COMSOL Multiphysics® model used to determine and improve the conversion efficiency in a liquid-metal microfluidics-based portable energy transducer. To date, most work on power generation technologies has focused on the optimization of existing technologies, and ... En savoir plus
The Microwave Electrothermal Thruster (MET) is a space electric propulsion device that uses an electromagnetic resonant cavity within which a free-floating plasma is ignited and sustained, heating a propellant gas that is that exhausted out of a gas-dynamic nozzle. For an empty cavity ... En savoir plus
Climate change and concerns over the reliable supplies of hydrocarbons are aiding in the focus on Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). The Lithium-ion battery as a better solution for energy storage in automobile applications is briefly introduced. Adverse effects ... En savoir plus
