Sustainable wastewater management has stimulated the exploration of innovative technologies, such as electrochemical nutrient recovery, which promises efficient recovery and reuse of vital nutrients, reducing environmental impacts and resource wastage. This study presents the modeling of ... En savoir plus

Convection is a method of heat transfer which takes advantage of a fluid’s flow over a solid. At this boundary between the solid and fluid, the convection is quantified by the convective coefficient (h) and the following boundary condition is implemented: [9] k∇T=h∆T where h is the ...

It is common knowledge to readers of these COMSOL conference proceedings that COMSOL (as well as other established CFD codes) produces unstable numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations without "consistent stabilization" and/or "inconsistent stabilization" (or similar ... En savoir plus

Introduction Wind presence in extreme cold temperatures is an accelerator of frostbite in susceptible areas. The National Weather Service (NWS) Wind Chill Temperature Index (WCTI) accounts for exposure time to frostbite in the cheek based on simplified human thermoregulatory models ... En savoir plus

Introduction: The endothelial cells (ECs) in the blood brain barrier (BBB) are disrupted with age, genetic predisposition, or stroke and can lead to vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). Current treatments involve opening the BBB with high-frequency-ultrasound to deliver ... En savoir plus

The utility company may shut off power in the overhead transmission or distribution lines as a preventative measure against wildfire risks and to ensure public safety. However, the de-energized transmission lines can still carry energy due to induced voltage from the electric- and ... En savoir plus

Excessive vent noise poses a prevalent challenge in various acoustic applications, significantly impacting the performance and user satisfaction of audio systems. This research investigates the efficacy of noise reduction using a lumped speaker model implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics. ... En savoir plus

Magnetized target fusion (MTF) is a promising approach to achieve fusion conditions that relies on the heating of a magnetized plasma by the rapid compression of a magnetic flux conserver. The compression timescale must be significantly shorter than the plasma’s thermal confinement time, ... En savoir plus

Skin, the largest organ in the body, comprises three major layers: the epidermis, dermis, and adipose tissue. Its complex microstructure results in non-linear stress-strain responses when subjected to large deformations, necessitating non-linear constitutive relations like the Mooney ... En savoir plus

This research introduces an electro-optic modulator based on a Metal-Semiconductor (M-S) junction, aimed at advancing functional plasmonic circuits through active control of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) at the interfaces of M-S devices. To evaluate the device's performance, we ... En savoir plus
