We deal with a problem of bentonite behavior during the saturation process in a high level waste repository of KBS-3V conception, SKB (2010). Bentonite is a type of clay with specific nonlinear behavior caused by water adsorption and swelling ability in contact with water. We solve ... En savoir plus

This paper presents a simulation of the operation of a new type of droplet generation probe. This probe, consisting of two concentrically-arranged tubings, is immersed in a beaker of cell medium so that oil is pumped through the outer tubing at a pumping speed less than fluid is drawn ...

In this research, we use the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to design and simulate a digital microfluidic droplet adapter for board-level biochip integration. Digital Microfluidic Biochip (DMFB) has gained tremendous research interest in recent years due to its importance in Lab-on-a-Chip ... En savoir plus

微波作为信息和能量的载体具有同等重要的应用价值，利用微波对物质产生的物理化学效应进行能量传递及转换已经在化学领域有了积极的应用。从 1986 年 R.N. Gedye 等人首次使用微波促进化学反应使其反应速率提高 1240 倍以来，有越来越多的微波和化学领域的科学家对相关问题进行了研究，并出现了一门新兴学科“微波化学”。微波化学作为研究微波能的一个方面是研究微波与化学反应体系相互作用的一个新兴学科。由于当前人们对微波加快化学反应的研究还非常肤浅，微波在大规模应用中并未发挥出其应有的巨大优势，微波化学进一步发展面临着巨大的挑战和机遇 ... En savoir plus

Ensuring the quality of underground water and controlling its quantity is of major concern for the population. Therefore, this subject attracts many students from different specialties at different levels of their curriculum. In fact, the pedagogic objectives of the course may be ... En savoir plus

This paper presents steady and unsteady computational results obtained from numerical solutions of the full two-dimensional governing equations for annular internal condensing flows in a channel. This is achieved by tracking the “sharp” interface while solving the flow fields using ... En savoir plus

The foaming process of a metal is a complex operation which needs to be closely controlled in order to guarantee the wanted properties, by avoiding the formation of defects in the structure of the material. In this work we use COMSOL Multiphysics® version 4.3b and apply the diffuse ... En savoir plus

A model of an office room was created in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to simulate heat transfer and study the impact of siting a mass of phase change material (PCM) in a room to increase thermal comfort. This study determined that incorporating the selected PCM, butyl stearate, in ... En savoir plus

The physical mechanisms that operate in gas injection are complex, since the bubble formation at submerged orifices involves a wide range of length and time scales, bubble coalescence occurs, rapid pressure variations around the gas bubble produce the wobbling of the bubble, as well as ...

We use COMSOL Multiphysics to model a gas bubble expansion in a viscous liquid initially at rest, a very common system for lightweight foamed materials from metal production and polymer processing. Modelling and simulation of foam processing during the production step involves many ... En savoir plus
