This paper presents a simulation model of a rotary damper filled with a magnetorheological fluid (MRF). The most important characteristic of the MRF is the variable viscosity, which can be controlled by an external magnetic field. In the simulation model, the fluid is described as a ... En savoir plus
Accurate estimation of rock permeability and porosity play a crucial role in the evaluation of oil and gas reservoirs. This evaluation is, however, challenging in tight formations such as shale due to the slow transition of fluid in such formations with extremely-low permeability. To ... En savoir plus
Introduction The topology optimization method is becoming increasingly popular as a design tool for multiphysics systems [1,2]. Topology optimization of fluid-thermal systems has been presented for example in [3] for forced convective heat transfer and in [4] for natural convection ... En savoir plus
Latent heat storage devices use the melting enthalpy of a so-called phase change material (PCM) to store thermal energy. Open porous metals, such as 3D wire structures, allow the design of systems with tailored storage capacity and power. A geometric unit cell was identified, modelled ... En savoir plus
The Purpose of this paper is to develop a thermal model using COMSOL Multiphysics® software that aims to get an idea of the heat flow around the ASIC, as well as to address the thermal issues for integrated circuits at the tongue board. However, we need sources of heat simulations to map ... En savoir plus
Hollow microstructures find numerous applications in microsystems, bioMEMS and microfluidic systems [1]. Consequently, one-step fabrication process of hollow polymeric microstructures by external electric field along with capillary forces, termed as electric field- assisted capillarity ...

Our inability to record single cell activity with high resolution over a long period of time precludes fundamental understanding of nervous system functions, both under normal and pathological conditions. While the fabrication of current micro- and nano-electrodes has advanced our ... En savoir plus
Pre-existing oil and gas wells and well bores represent highly permeable pathways for leakage of greenhouse gases; in Alberta alone leaks have been estimated to provide the equivalent of 3.5 million tonnes of CO2 per annum. In addition to abandoned wells without plugs, gas leakage may ... En savoir plus
The idea of application as a hearing device based on a parasitoid fly, Ormia ochracea has been studied extensively recently. This paper addresses another possible application as an underwater directional sensor. In order to study the feasibility of the application, it is necessary to ... En savoir plus
Flash floods are sudden and mostly destructive rushes of water down narrow gullies or over sloping surfaces. They are mostly caused by heavy rainfall in the upstream watershed. They may also appear as result of catastrophic events as dam or levee breaks, or mudslides or debris flow. ... En savoir plus
