Submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR) is an efficient technology for wastewater treatment that combines biological process and membrane filtration in one single stage. In the most usual configuration, submerged membrane hollow fibers are set in several planes. Air is introduced from the ... En savoir plus

Accurate and efficient tracking is important for designing particle accelerators as well as many other applications which use electromagnetic fields to control particles. We have developed a tracking code in MATLAB® Simulink® which uses electric and magnetic fields calculated in COMSOL ... En savoir plus

Understanding the interactions between microbubbles and surfaces is key to the successful deployment of microbubbles in a range of applications. Two important examples are their use as a drug delivery mechanism, and their potential use of acoustically-driven bubbles as microscale ... En savoir plus

Ultrasound imaging probes are widely used for several types of diagnosis applications. In the present work we focus our attention on a disk-type probe, which is widely used in CW and PW operating conditions. In particular we present a 2D-axial symmetry FEM for the probe, capable to ...

A characteristic feature of nanochannels is that surface properties (e.g., electrical charge) play a more significant role in the transport of fluid and electrolyte. Two oppositely directed flows (electroosmotic flow and pressure-driven flow) determine the flow profile at the nanopore ... En savoir plus

Efficient modeling and computation of the nonlinear interaction of fluid with a solid undergoing nonlinear deformation has remained a challenging problem in computational science and engineering. Direct numerical simulation of the non-linear equations, governing even the most simplified ... En savoir plus

The rheological behaviour of a biphasic material is quite difficult to model because of the difficulties to represent the evolution of the space position of each solid particle in the solid matrix. The first part of this study consider an equivalent material by homogeneisation method. ... En savoir plus

Heating or cooling of stored fluids by thermal energy exchange with the enclosing walls may be enhanced by improving the efficiency of energy transfer; energy loss to the ambient is equalized for all simulations. Buoyancy driven internal natural convective flow is assumed to be the main ... En savoir plus

A three Dimensional model of the PEM Fuel cell is implemented using COMSOL Multiphysics and the channel width is varied to study the performance.Effect of channel width on the performance of the cell is studied by varying the width of the channel and keeping channel width to rib ratio ...

Microwave drying of foodstuffs is a complex interplay of mass, momentum, and energy transport coupled with large deformation of the solid. To be able to better understand the microwave drying process, a fundamentals-based three dimensional (3D) multiphase porous media based model is ... En savoir plus
