This study explores the significance of the recoil pressure, Marangoni convection and surface tension effects in selective laser melting of Ti-6Al-4V. A pragmatic two dimensional model with appropriate powder distribution over a substrate of finite thickness has been developed in COMSOL ... En savoir plus

The low dimensional systems show a behavior that is strongly depending on external effects such as the intense non-resonant laser field. The control of electronic and optical properties by means of a laser field lets us to adapt the matter-light interaction to several applications [1]. ... En savoir plus

Efficient mixing and pumping of liquids at the microscale is a technology that is still to be optimized. The combination of an AC electric field with a small temperature gradient leads to a strong electrothermal flow that can be used for multiple purposes. Combining simulations and ... En savoir plus
