In this paper, we present a comprehensive study on the influence of anatomical shapes on the speed of blood flow in the left atrial appendage (LAA) using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Module in COMSOL Multiphysics®. The LAA itself can serve as a potential origin of blood clots, ... En savoir plus

The following set of COMSOL® simulations were a vital part of a multi-year-long research project about magnetically levitated hoverboards. A hoverboard can be seen as a small skateboard, that uses magnetic a set of hover-thrusters instead of wheels. A total of nine working prototype ... En savoir plus

Pore-scale modeling of multiphase flow through porous media is addressed most frequently to improve our understanding of flow and transport phenomena in such settings. It can be used to obtain macro-scale constitutive equations, to assign multiphase flow properties in large scale models, ... En savoir plus

Bioreactors play a critical role in cultivating biological cells for various applications, such as pharmaceutical production and tissue engineering. Optimizing the cultivation process requires a deep understanding of the flow characteristics within the bioreactor medium. In this study, ... En savoir plus

Magnetized target fusion (MTF) is a promising approach to achieve fusion conditions that relies on the heating of a magnetized plasma by the rapid compression of a magnetic flux conserver. The compression timescale must be significantly shorter than the plasma’s thermal confinement time, ... En savoir plus

In many medical and biotechnological applications, cells are grown in dynamic cell cultures. Usually, the cells are cultivated on a scaffold with a complex channel structure through which the nutrient fluid flows and into which the cells can grow. However, a known problem is that the ...

High-power THz TWTs of frequencies between 0.1THz to 0.3THz are being investigated for their use as amplifiers in ultra-broadband wireless communication systems, because of their high gain, high efficiency, wide bandwidth and high linearity. They have many other new emerging applications ... En savoir plus

Thermal sterilization is a critical process in the food industry as it ensures the safety and shelf-life of food products for long-term preservation by eliminating all microorganisms and their spores from a food product. This process requires huge energy and water consumption, and ... En savoir plus

Conclusions about the influence of paper insulation on the electrical discharge initiation in mineral oil may be drawn on the basis of experimental studies. However, in some cases, these conclusions may be supported by electrical field analysis. Determination of maximum values of ... En savoir plus
