Objective of this contribution is to show how to implement the Mild Slope Equations with COMSOL Multiphysics. These equations are commonly used to study the propagation of waves in harbors. Some interesting features are presented, namely the use of weak terms (used for the modelling of ... En savoir plus

Ion mobility spectrometry provides fast detection of very low concentrations of chemical substances. Simple instrumentation combined with high sensitivity and high selectivity are the advantages of this technique. One well established field of application is the detection of hazardous ...

In general, there is a wide range of applications requiring coupled electromagneticstructural analysis. In this paper, two of such coupled problems have been analyzed. The first one is a transient analysis of Electromagnetic Forming process and the other problem is a deformation analysis ... En savoir plus

Most simulations concerning electrical activation of human muscles are based on the modeling approach of Hodgkin and Huxley. Calculating the response of a muscle or nerve fiber membrane to an applied electrical field, needs to consider the “macroscopic”, extracellular potential ... En savoir plus

Multiphase flow in a microreactor was studied numerically for two immiscible liquids. Validation of the model was sought by simulating the flow behavior and mass transfer characteristics of a neutralization reaction described in the literature. Contact angles, interfacial tension and the ... En savoir plus

The fixed beds have the advantage of large heat transfer area, for they are used in some designs of innovative nuclear reactors as the reactor FBNR. Inside of study of fixed beds is important to define the following parameters: flow minimum and velocity profile of cooling fluid, ... En savoir plus

An inverse finite element method for noise source identification in an aircraft cabin is presented. If all sound sources are located on the boundary of the cabin, the equation system resulting from a matching FE model can be re-sorted in such a way that computation of the unknown ...

In boreholes nozzles have to be found advantageous to increase the infiltration rate of water into the subsurface ground. Studies and practice in the field shows that the infiltration of water into permeable aquifers can be improved, if the flow in the borehole is modified. Due to the ... En savoir plus

Vapor-compression technology has been the dominant refrigeration technology for decades, due to its scalability, relatively compact size, high reliability, and other attributes. However, the refrigerants used in vapor-compression equipment have detrimental effects on the global ... En savoir plus

The effect of metallization thickness on planar transmission lines plays an essential role in microwave integrated circuits and thin film technology, especially in the propagation characterization and the electric field distribution in the structures. The objective of this paper is to ... En savoir plus
