The ubiquitous nature of biofilms has led to a growing need to be able to detect, control, and maintain or remove them. Therefore a robust testing platform that allows for multiple analytical techniques is required to better understand their multitude of properties. The development of ... En savoir plus

Traditionally, municipal sewer and water agencies have relied on acoustic data loggers and closed-circuit television cameras to inspect pipes for leaks. In addition, the same legacy techniques have been used to certify new and rehabilitated pipes as watertight. Unfortunately, visually ... En savoir plus

Parallelization of droplet microfluidics is a challenging task because of the complex fluid mechanics coupling between parallel devices. Failure of few droplet generators can influence the size distribution of the final product and the correct operation of the neighbor devices. One of ... 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 ...

Divertor is act as an exhaust for the nuclear fusion reactor. Main function of a divertor is to remove the heat flux from the plasma. Plasma facing components of the divertor are made up of Carbon (Graphite/CFC) and tungsten like materials[1]. Hence these materials are exposed to the ... En savoir plus

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is a nonlinear phenomenon coupling optical and elastic waves. Traditionally regarded as an undesirable side-effect, it has garnered renewed interest as a platform for investigating slow light, nonreciprocity, and for designing high-performance chip ...

MEMS is the leading technology which combines both electronic and mechanical devices on a single microchip. Tracing the position of the object is an important problem in engineering. This can be addressed by Gyroscopes. These sensors are used to find orientation and angular velocity. ... En savoir plus

Energy efficiency and harvest, speed and performance, flexibility and portability are key elements for innovation in the current consumer electronics markets. Thermoelectric Generators can convert energy from heat gradients into electricity. Every source of heat from an electronics ... En savoir plus

The purpose of this paper is to present a numerical modeling of plasma phenomena in beryllium emissions using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The Beryllium films were deposited on mirror polished fine grain graphite substrates using the Thermionic Vacuum Arc (TVA) technology available at ... En savoir plus

This session addresses some common challenges in electromagnetic modeling and simulation. The introductory presentation will cover how to pick and choose between a large number of available formulations in three separate modules including the AC/DC Module, RF Module, and Wave Optics ...
