Development of a Special COMSOL® Interface Based on an Alternative Model for Bentonite Re-Saturation
Bentonite is a versatile material that is, among other things, envisaged in most countries worldwide for use in radioactive waste repositories to protect the waste canisters against groundwater. The thermo-hydro-mechanically (THM) coupled process of bentonite saturation is commonly based ... Read More
Using of General Extrusion Operator in Heat Transfer Applications
In this paper, the COMSOL Certified Consultant BE CAE & Test shows as the general extrusion operators can be successfully used to simulate thermal transfers in an industrial rotating furnace. Heat transfer in translating and rotating furnaces is a topic of high interest in several ... Read More
Analysis and Comparison of Modeling Approaches for Heat Pipes
A novel injection molding tool temperature control system based on heat pipes is being researched at the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSBI). This temperature control technology offers great potential for improving product quality and saving energy in the production ... Read More
Uncertainty Quantification and Propagation in Multiphysics Modeling of the PVT Growth of SiC Crystal
The wide bandgap semiconductor silicon carbide (SiC) has drawn increasing attention in recent years as a promising material for high-power, high-frequency, and high-temperature operating devices. These outstanding properties of SiC make it a good candidate to replace silicon in many ... Read More
Numerical Simulation of the Laser Cutting Process for Dismantling
Laser cutting process is usually employed in machining process, however it is also applied for dismantling nuclear facilities. Contrary to mechanical processes where tools wear out quickly and are often renewed, laser cutting process is a contactless approach, therefore there is no ... Read More
Simulating Condensate Layers on Thermal Bridges in Train Walls
Using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software with the Heat Transfer Module, we calculated coupled heat and moisture transport to simulate the amount and distribution of condensed moisture in a train wall, with a special focus on the surface of thermal bridges. We tested two approaches to ... Read More
Investigations on Talik Formation During Changes to Cold Climates
Over the past million years, several cold ages have occurred and thereby caused perma-frost conditions basically all over the present area of Germany. Since in Germany the safe-ty of a nuclear waste repository legally needs to be investigated for a period of one million years, the ground ... Read More
Multiphysical Study of Copper Laser Welding Process Stability Using the COMSOL® Application Builder
A numerical model of laser welding process applied on highly optically reflective and thermally conductive materials such as copper has been developped. The latter considers multiphysical couplings of CFD, heat transfers and phase-field representation to account for topological ... Read More
Optimal Design of Baking Plates for an Inductive Wafer Baking Oven
Baking is a central production step in the industrial production of edible wafers and waffles. The initially liquid batter is heated with a pair of metallic baking plates. Establishing a uniform and accurate temperature at the baking face (inner baking plate surface) is crucial for ... Read More
Heat Exchange Mechanisms in Energy Quay Walls: Field Observations and Numerical Analysis
The increasing demand for energy and the need to reduce reliance on fossil fuels in response to climate change have spurred the exploration of renewable energy sources. Energy Geostructures address these issues by providing at the same time mechanical support to overlying structures and ... Read More
