Today, 90 percent of automation sensors are binary proximity detectors. Besides capacitive and optical types, inductive proximity sensors are essential for industrial applications. Compared to their mechanical counterparts, they offer almost ideal properties as contact-free and wear-free ... En savoir plus

This work is a first evaluation of the validity of the frozen rotor approximation for the simulation of a stirred beaker. The agreement is good, further analysis will be carried before using the model to optimize labscale setup dedicated to IL electrochemistry. En savoir plus

We present a numerical investigation on a metal foam radiator in natural convection. Metal foams are innovative lightweight materials with unique heat dissipation properties. COMSOL Multiphysics® has been used to reproduce experimental data and generate an optimized geometry to maximize ... En savoir plus

Si-infiltrated SiC porous composites exist in different forms composed of cores of cellular ceramic and skin plates of ceramic matrix composites. Due to high thermal conductivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion, high elastic modulus and high strength, the final product can be a ... En savoir plus

To obtain large transparent ceramic samples, we optimized the drying step process using COMSOL Multiphysics®. Indeed, green body's drying in a climate chamber is the critical step when large size and complex shape samples are needed. Then we obtained 75 mm diameter and 10 mm thickness ... En savoir plus

The primary devices used for testing the aerodynamic properties of aircraft constructions are aerodynamic and water tunnels. They enable to visualize the flow and measurement of the moving liquid parameters, which serve to determine aerodynamic characteristics. However, they entail ... En savoir plus

The boundary layer flow above an isothermal flat plate inclined at a small angle to the horizontal is analyzed. Inclination effects are initially investigated as a perturbation to the horizontal flow by obtaining a fourth order series solutions valid near the leading edge of the plate ... En savoir plus

This work develops a methodology based on the application of finite element method in the frequency domain: the purpose is to evaluate electromagnetic parameters of a pot-core inductor. The knowledge of the electromagnetic parameter is very important for several reasons, for example it ... En savoir plus

For automotive applications, simulation methods are used to get the best audio acoustic performance. Because a loudspeaker is a non linear device, the sound pressure in the vehicle includes harmonics which are mainly created by the force factor, suspension stiffness and voice coil ...

The possibility of exploiting the Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) of light as a means to simultaneously transmit radio signals at the same frequency led us to the experimental implementation of an OAM-based multiplexing scheme between antenna arrays. Within this framework, the realization ... En savoir plus
