Adaptive optics control using liquid filled membrane lens is based on the principle of deflection of polymeric membrane. Controlled deflection in membrane leads to controlled focal length. This enhances the focus tuning ability of the system at the same time make optical system compact ... En savoir plus

Modeling of fractured porous media systems is currently of high interest in various academic and applied fields, mainly in the geological and material sciences. The very different scales of the region of an application case on the larger end and the fracture on the lower end pose a ... En savoir plus

Plasma torches are used in processing of materials and in energy industry for producing plasma. In this work we use the Equilibrium DC Discharge physics interface of COMSOL Multiphysics® to model a DC non- transferred arc plasma torch, under hypothesis of local thermodynamic equilibrium. ...

The quality of coatings obtained by means of thermal spraying depends strongly on the mechanism of the interaction between the molten droplets and the surface to be covered. The aim of the present study is to simulate the impact of a droplet onto a substrate, in order to have a good ... En savoir plus

Introduction Velocity profiles in liquid films flowing over rotating conical surfaces are of considerable interest in industry. The efficiency of important process equipment, such as spinning cone columns, fluid degassers, centrifugal disc atomizers, centrifugal film evaporators, and ... En savoir plus

Liquid transport in lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices occurs through a microchannel that uses an electroosmotic flow actuation mechanism. This method has a plug-like velocity profile, which is ideal in species transport and in wall-bounded reactions. Under substantial joule heating, it is not ... En savoir plus

In this work, we numerically investigated the process of droplet generation using water as the dispersed phase and FC-40 oil as the continuous phase in a microfluidic device. We used a two-phase level set method in COMSOL Multiphysics® for our study. The simulations were carried out in a ... En savoir plus

Laser welding is often considered to be a superior technique over different conventional welding methods and has been gradually evolved as an efficient manufacturing process. It is a high energy density fabrication process and generally employed for fabricating intricate shapes/contours ... En savoir plus

This paper is an investigation into the effect of blood vessel movement on measurement accuracy of blood flow rate using magnetic flow meters. The investigation used a Finite Element model of the magnetic flowmeter built using COMSOL Multiphysics® software by integrating the modules of ... En savoir plus

Emulsions, small liquid droplets of oil in water or water in oil, find wide application in, pharmaceutical products, fine chemicals, analytical chemistry. Microfluidic devices allow creation of uniform droplets with a tight distribution. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software model presented ... En savoir plus
