COMSOL Multiphysics® can play a crucial role in jumpstarting undergraduate research programs in physics and engineering at colleges with limited financial support and small faculty size. The engineering physics program at Ramapo College of NJ has 48 majors and 4 full time faculty with ... En savoir plus

The study of interaction of fluid with matter assumes great significance for most engineering applications. The flow can be either turbulent or laminar, and different types of interactions arise out of these flow. In the introductory undergraduate course of fluid mechanics, a typical ... En savoir plus

We demonstrate a simulation engine using COMSOL® and MATLAB® software that is able to simulate stochastic reaction-diffusion models in the reaction-diffusion master equation framework. We use this engine to construct models of budding yeast cells with embedded microtubules, interfacing ... En savoir plus

Analysis of concrete structures is usually carried out by destructive methods. The internal volume flaws directly influence concrete properties. Such inclusions are empty or even resulting from the manufacturing process or degradation by percolation leaching dissolution and chemical ... En savoir plus

Within projects of geothermal energy, we need hydrodynamic and thermal modeling to forecast the impacts of geothermal deep wells on existing wells. In case of pumping and reinjection of the geothermal fluid in a deep groundwater reservoir, located in a sedimentary basin with lateral and ... En savoir plus

The objective of this study is to numerically evaluate the effectiveness of an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) during the summer and winter seasons. The energy recovery ventilator allows heat and mass transfer between two air streams separated by a membrane. The effects of varying the ... En savoir plus

‘Metamaterial’ is one of the most recent topic in several areas of science and technology due to its vast potential in various applications. These are artificially fabricated materials which exhibit negative permittivity and/or negative permeability. The unusual electromagnetic ... En savoir plus

The paper reports on an electromagnetic field study of a 765 kV switchyard. The study is performed using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The study involves geometric modelling, finite element analysis, and numerical solution of the linearized equations. For the system studied, it was ... En savoir plus

In the decades since humans first went to space, there has been growing interest in utilizing microgravity to improve our understanding in many scientific fields (1). Applied fields have included evolutionary development, cell mechanics and protein crystallization (2-4). Microgravity ... En savoir plus

Today a horn driver developing is still time and cost consuming. In addition compression driver behavior depends by the horn profile. In this study is proposed a new technique to model a combination of an existing compression driver and a virtual horn, in order to predict the horn driver ... En savoir plus
