Characterization of Flow regimes in T-Junction Microfluidic Devices
In this work, finite element method (FEM) based commercial software COMSOL Multiphysics® has been used to perform two-dimensional simulation of droplet formation inside T-junction microchannel. The laminar two-phase flow, level set module modules of COMSOL Multiphysics® with free ... En savoir plus
Interfacial Effects on Droplet Generation in a T-Junction Microchannel
Over the years, researchers have been investigating a variety of approaches to understand the droplet dynamics in a microchannel due to its vast applications in various fields. At low Reynolds number, surface tension and viscosity dominate the flow in the microchannel. In this study, the ... En savoir plus
Heat Transfer Enhancement From Heated blocks under Laminar Natural convection in a Vertical channel
This paper presents numerical investigation on heated blocks under natural convection in a vertical channel for heat transfer enhancement. Three dimensional, steady state, incompressible, laminar natural convection in a vertical channel have been studied. The problem is modeled and ... En savoir plus
Carbon dioxide Adsorption on Silica Aerogel Storage System - Modeling & Simulation
A thorough study on the adsorption behaviour of carbon dioxide (CO2) on silica aerogel is critical for CO2 sequestration and recovery. Although CO2 sorption focuses mainly on the lab scale setup, research on the larger bulk counterparts, which is used at industry central facility is ... En savoir plus
Simulation of Fluid Flow in a Distribution Manifold
In this paper, a simulation of fluid flow in a distribution manifold has been considered. An axial inlet has been taken and the variation of velocity and pressure in the header tube and the outlet tubes have been observed. The effect of various parameters such as the Area Ratio(AR) that ... En savoir plus

Salt storage vessel is a stainless steel cylindrical vessel with surface heaters. The vessel is mounted vertically and insulated ... En savoir plus
CFD Simulation of Micro-channel Heat Sink used for Cooling Applications
Microfluidic device based applications are gaining importance since the last few years, mainly because of its potential of replacing large-sized equipment with relatively compact devices. Micro-channel heat sinks are one of the widely investigated applications as they can provide a very ... En savoir plus
Modeling of Oil Spill Collection by Means of Devulcanised Crumb Rubber in COMSOL Multiphysics®.
In current work, diffusion processes of oil spills through a thin layer of porous composite materials based on crumb rubber are investigated. Model setup includes a concept of layer built of crumb rubber particles (and composite constituents) distributed on the solid surface, gradually ... En savoir plus
Simulation of the Oxygen Supply of Osteoblastic Cells in Dynamic 3D Cell Cultures
In biotechnology and medicine, cells are frequently grown on scaffolds with a three-dimensional channel structure. The oxygen and nutrient supply of the cells is realized by a medium flowing through the channels of the scaffolds. However, it is often difficult to obtain a confluent ... En savoir plus
An Application for Predicting Environmental Conditions within an Additive Manufacturing Facility
Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity can significantly affect the quality of the metal powder used in power bed fusion additive manufacturing, leading to variations in the integrity of finished components. It is therefore important to monitor and minimize the exposure ... En savoir plus
