This poster focuses on the development of practical acoustic metamaterials for the reduction of low frequency industrial noise. High noise levels generated by industrial machinery can cause major environmental problems and stakeholders are looking for novel solutions. Particular ... En savoir plus

In this study fluid-dynamical and thermal performance of active chilled beams is investigated by 2D and 3D modelling in COMSOL Multiphysics. Three different typologies of those air conditioning systems are considered. Results, obtained for typical range of variation of operational ... En savoir plus

Aluminum production potlines operate under significant amperage in a range of 200 kA – 600 kA. High electrical DC currents induce strong magnetic fields. MHD stability, which is a result of electrical current and magnetic field interaction within aluminum reduction cell, is one of highly ... En savoir plus

Convective instability in a thin liquid layer is observed in many technical systems [1] and is of interest to the self-organization theory. To date, however, only simple problems with the convection between flat plates are well studied [2]. In real systems and devices, convective flows ... En savoir plus

The Dirac equation is employed in particle physics and historically gave the first combined unification of quantum mechanics and relativity theory by introducing a four component wave function Ψn n=1…4. This wave function describes the behavior of fermion type particles. The effect of a ... En savoir plus

As the importance of nanoparticles is growing more and more, controlling and understanding the properties of nanoparticles became a focus of research. In this field Meyer at al. [1] are researching the GMR effect in granular gels to develop magnetoresistive sensors. The GMR in granular ... En savoir plus

In this study, a model of in-situ geothermal energy piles was constructed using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Geothermal energy piles serve two purposes, first to transfer building load into the subsurface, but also to extract thermal heat from surrounding soils. This is achieved using ... En savoir plus

For automotive applications, simulations are used to optimize the position and orientation of a subwoofer (loudspeaker) in a very constrained space to get the best acoustic performances. One solution is to use particular part of the BIW volume as the subwoofer enclosure. The acoustical ... En savoir plus

We present a Finite Element Method simulation procedure that allows rapid development of prototype devices comprising novel self-referenced interference SPR (surface plasmon resonance) biosensing microstructures. The procedure takes advantage of  COMSOL Multiphysics and MATLAB software ... En savoir plus
