The Finite Element Model is analyzed with impounded water considering appropriate boundary conditions between the water & the upstream face of the dam .The fluid on the upstream side is considered to be incompressible, inviscous, and irrotational. Here the effect of fluid ... En savoir plus

Air bearings are special type of bearings which provide nearly zero friction between two surfaces. This is achieved by a compressed layer of gas between the surfaces. This study presents a modeling technique for an Air bearing component. COMSOL Multiphysics® is used to efficiently ... En savoir plus

Peristaltic pumping is an inherently nonlinear multiphysics problem where the deformation of the tube and the pumped fluid are strongly coupled. We used COMSOL Multiphysics to investigate the performance of a 180 degree rotary peristaltic pump with two metallic rollers, and an ... En savoir plus

The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in immune surveillance, fluid balance, and the transport of immune cells. Lymph nodes, acting as filtration and immune activation hubs, are essential in detecting and responding to pathogens. Computational modeling of lymph node function offers ... En savoir plus

Digital rock physics (DRP) is an emerging field where a rock sample is imaged, relevant physical processes are simulated numerically on the digital rock sample, and the numerical solutions are used for understanding and interpreting the rock in different in-situ conditions. The use of ... En savoir plus

Seismic evaluation of existing dams is a major issue that has been even more highlighted by the recent events in Italy. In this regard, researchers and engineers need a reliable and quick tool to assess the complex behaviour of the structure – fluid – soil system. In this paper the soil ... En savoir plus

This paper reports the simulation of micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) cleanroom for the purpose of determining the effect of particulate contaminants on the static stress response of cantilever type MEMS devices, such as high precision MEMS pressure sensor. The contaminant presence ... En savoir plus

Functionally graded materials (FGM) are those that contain chemical, phase or structural gradients. Whilst the design of functionally graded structures is well researched in areas such as shape optimisation and topology optimization, their manufacture is still in development. One ...

Increasing attention has been paid to application of the quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) sensor for monitoring biomolecular interactions. This paper focuses on a practical application of protein-protein binding affinity measurement at low concentrations and minimal ... En savoir plus

The transfer molding process is a widely used method for encapsulating microelectronics and power semiconductor devices. In power electronics, it is gaining increasing importance, particularly in the automotive sector [1]. In transfer molding, an epoxy mold compound (EMC) is injected ... En savoir plus
