This paper presents a numerical model based on the mild-slope equation (MSE for short) solved using the PDE mode of the software COMSOL Multiphysics suitable to reproduce the propagation of small amplitude tsunamis in the off-shore field. The model solves the governing equations in the ... En savoir plus

In the Fluid Jet Method, a polishing fluid is compressed and delivered through a nozzle, allowing the spot area to become continuously replenished with abrasives and coolant. Process parameters include: Abrasive type and concentration, Inlet pressure, Nozzle diameter, Impingement angle, ... En savoir plus

In this work, the fluid flow over a 2D backward-facing step is analyzed in order to provide a case study for the use of different models for the blood dynamic viscosity in COMSOL Multiphysics. Three non-Newtonian models, as well as the Newtonian model are used to study the shear stresses ... En savoir plus

Wettability affects two-phase displacements in porous media by determining the microscopic distribution of fluids in pore spaces. The impact of wettability on transport properties at macro-scales has been widely addressed in literature; however a deeper understanding of wettability ... En savoir plus

It is commonly recognized that careful thermal design of electronic equipments represents an unavoidable pre-production step in order to ensure reliability and performance of those components during their functioning. This paper mainly concerns a comparison between experimental and ... En savoir plus

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a standard method in the pharmaceutical industry for the separation and identification of chemical compounds. Modeling of band transport, or band broadening phenomena, can provide tremendous insight into problems of chromatography that ... En savoir plus

Mixing is a typical unit operation that occurs almost in all chemical industries. Static – alternatively termed motionless – mixers are being widely used due to their low power consumption, low capital investment, minimal maintenance costs and versatility. The traditional helical mixing ... En savoir plus

The mixing characteristics and residence time distributions (RTDs) of a staggered herringbone microchannel have been investigated numerically by COMSOL Multiphysics and by particle tracking algorithms that incorporate diffusion via a random walk. All simulations were validated with ... En savoir plus

A proton linac drives particles using the electric field of a high power RF standing wave in a resonant cavity. The design of these cavities involve several aspects of multiphysics simulation, that have been accomplished using COMSOL. The first step consist on the geometric optimization ... En savoir plus

Silicon solar cells are produced in a series of different process steps in which wet-chemical etching and rinsing steps have a considerable influence on the quality of the wafers. Etching baths are used for surface structuring or intended etch back. Examples therefore are texturing, ... En savoir plus
