Thermal energy storage systems receive notable attention within the framework of energy management due to their ability of bridging thermal energy demand and supply, thus leading to an overall efficiency increase. The key component in such systems are materials which convert ... En savoir plus
The Finite Element Method (FEM) has become an established numerical tool used for different academic and industrial purposes. It allows the prediction of weld pool geometry, thermal cycle, final distortion and residual stress field during and after fusion welding. The capability of the ... En savoir plus
An interaction of aluminum aircraft skins with a laboratory-simulated, low-level, long-duration, continuing current representative of a natural lightning flash was modeled with COMSOL Multiphysics. For the analysis of the lightning direct effects on aircraft, the external environment is ... En savoir plus
Arc current welding is a widespread process in heavy industry for the assembly of metallic components. In order to ensure the good quality of assemblies welds, it is appropriate to master the welding process but also to have a deep understanding of interactions with the weld pool and ...

Laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a promising additive manufacturing technology, where metallic parts are produced in a layer-wise manner. At each step, a rapid-moving laser irradiates and subsequently melts predefined zones of a relatively thin layer of fine spherical metal ... En savoir plus
The initiation in numerical modeling of welding with COMSOL Multiphysics® is proposed to the 2nd year students of the professional master program «Processes, Controls, Metallic Materials: Nuclear Industry» (PC2M) of University of Burgundy, France since 2016 within the module «Simulation ...

In this paper, a numerical study is conducted on the melting and solidification process of metal foam/paraffin wax with cyclic heating and cooling. A mathematical model based on the Brinkman-Frochheimer extended Darcy equation and the local thermal non-equilibrium model (LTNE) is ... En savoir plus
Spent fuel transportation casks are required to meet among others (test conditions), the regulatory thermal test conditions in order to demonstrate their ability to withstand specified accidental fire conditions during transport. This paper describes the transient thermal analysis ... En savoir plus
A 2D transient heat conduction model was created in COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate temperature changes in material irradiated by a KrF laser beam confined on silicon’s surface. In this paper, the obtained results are shown and discussed in case of bulk Silicon. The heat source is ... En savoir plus
Laser beam welding is a key technology in industrial manufacturing as it combines high flexibility and the potential for automation with excellent joint quality and minimal thermal influence of the workpiece. Whereas for materials like steel and aluminium laser beam welding is already ... En savoir plus
