INTRODUCTION: The paper illustrates the use of COMSOL for obtaining the solution Ψ(x,y,t) as a solution to the time dependent nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). COMSOL previously was used to solve the time dependent NLSE in Ref.[1] as applied to quantum mechanics, however this is the ... En savoir plus

Aluminum production potlines operate under significant amperage in a range of 200 kA – 600 kA. High electrical DC currents induce strong magnetic fields. MHD stability, which is a result of electrical current and magnetic field interaction within aluminum reduction cell, is one of highly ... En savoir plus

This paper presents results on the visualisation of tracks of charged particles in a non-uniform magnetic field. The field modelled is that generated by a coil driven by DC current. The motion of typical particles, such as electrons, ions and multiply-charged heavy particles has been ... En savoir plus

One of the major applications for dielectrophoresis is the selective trapping and fractionation in lab-on-a-chip devices. Nevertheless, many-particle effects due to high concentrations of biological material around electrodes can cause a rapid decrease of trapping efficiency in ... En savoir plus

Microplastic contamination in sediment samples presents analytical challenges, as microplastic concentrations typically remain below 1% in environmental matrices [1]. Current analytical workflows require cost-effective and rapid pre-separation methods to concentrate microplastic ... En savoir plus

Recognized for its potential as a sustainable food source, seaweed farming has become pivotal in tackling future food security concerns, necessitating innovative solutions to achieve optimal, high-yield, and commercially viable production [1]. This work addresses gaps in aquaculture ... En savoir plus

The transfer molding process is a widely used method for encapsulating microelectronics and power semiconductor devices. In power electronics, it is gaining increasing importance, particularly in the automotive sector [1]. In transfer molding, an epoxy mold compound (EMC) is injected ... 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

PECM is a necessary extension to traditional ECM for some high-performance materials. Electrolyte flow in the inter-electrode gap (IEG) can be assisted using a magnetic field to allow higher currents, but this creates a magnetohydrodynamic flow. This paper presents a study of flow ...
