Flow measurement of molten metals is a formidable task considering the hostile conditions. Many electromagnetic methods have been evolved for measurement of flow of conductive medium. The Lorenz force velocimetry is promising considering its non-intrusive nature. The Lorenz force ... En savoir plus

In recent times, the major concern in the area of microelectronics is efficient heat transfer which will improve the operating characteristics of the device as well as minimize its failure rate due to induced overheating. The removal of excess heat from the system can be done by ... En savoir plus

Magnetic levitation systems have been studied in the context of high-speed transportation as maglev trains, high speed machinery as magnetic bearings, and other similar engineering applications. In this paper, a three dimensional arbitrary shaped object is modeled and analyzed through ... En savoir plus

A model for the conjugate simulation of heat and moisture transfer inside porous materials and fluid domains is implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics®. The results of this model are compared with those obtained through a simplified approach: the line-source approach. The models are both ... En savoir plus

This paper reports on the application of COMSOL Multiphysics’ Richard\'s Equation Interface in the assessment of irrigation moisture sensors for detecting the level of water saturation in a spatial variably saturated soil. The Richard\'s Equation (in COMSOL) provides the interface which ... En savoir plus

This paper reports the modelling and analysis of three dimensional negative dielectrophoretic traps for cell trapping applications. Dielectrophoresis is a well-established technique for cell analysis and cell trapping. Planar electrodes, at the bottom of a microfluidic channel, have been ... En savoir plus

This paper demonstrates experience of using the COMSOL Multiphysics® transport phenomena models in design practice, particularly at the early stage of design when there is might be too many possible design suggestions relying on the shell balance equations, and engineering intuition. ...

Pipeline inspection tools present some limitations related to power supply which require recharging after each operation. Using batteries or tethered tools make the duration to inspect any pipeline very limited and time consuming. This paper aims at designing a spherical self-recharging ... En savoir plus

INTRODUCTION: Point-Of-Care (POC) and home care systems are of growing importance in biotechnological and medical applications [1]. These devices allow health monitoring directly at home or at the doctor’s office. Portability, low-cost, easy handling and compatibility with telemedicine ... En savoir plus

Background: Even though the direct nose-to-brain drug delivery has multiple advantages, its application is limited by the low delivery efficiency (<1%) to the olfactory region with standard nasal devices. Novel delivery techniques are needed that can deliver clinically relevant dosage ... En savoir plus
