3-Dimensional Analysis of Coupled Heat and Mass Transfer in a Thermochemical Heat Storage System
1 Problem Description Most studies for investigating heat and mass transfer phenomena in sorption storage systems use 1D or 2D numerical models. These are inadequate for analyzing processes in more complex geometries used in current prototypes. We present here a 3D model for the ... Read More
3D Magneto-Thermo-Hydrodynamic Modeling of Arc Welding
In the nuclear industry, and particularly at Framatome, mastery of welding processes is essential. Framatome is one of the world leaders in this field and wants to improve even more. The work presented focuses on improving the TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding process, and more ... Read More
A 2D Computational Model of an Active Magnetocaloric Regenerator with Parallel Plates
Refrigeration plays a crucial role in both industrial and residential sectors, where nearly 17% of the energy consumption worldwide is related to thermal management systems [1] [2]. Furthermore, current vapor-compression refrigeration technology contributes significantly to the ... Read More
A Comparison between Shallow Water and Level Set Methods in Simulating Water Flooding
In this paper, the COMSOL Certified Consultant BE CAE & Test presents a comparison between two approaches exploitable in COMSOL Multiphysics® to simulate water flooding. Flooding is an argument of high interest both in industrial engineering and in environmental science. Dam breaks, ... Read More
A COMSOL Multiphysics® 3D CFD Model for Describing the Gas Exchange Through Microperforations
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a widely applied technology for the shelf-life extension of fresh and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. This technique relies on modifying the gas composition inside de package by the respiratory activity of the product and the gas exchange through ... Read More
A Framework for Automated, Data-Driven Digital Twin Generation from Multiphysical Simulation Models
A digital twin is a virtual set of information replicating its physical counterpart at the utmost fidelity. Digital and physical twin benefit from bi-directional data exchange that occurs in real time and over the whole process lifecycle. Until now, experts in the design phase have ... Read More
An Analysis of the Synchronous Transport Phenomena Involved in Pasta Drying Process
This work is focused on the development of a physical-mathematical model capable of predicting the temperature and water content fields within a pasta sample which is exposed to a stream of drying air flowing under turbulent conditions. Therefore, the equations concerning the transfer of ... Read More
Benefit of Vapor Consideration for LPBF Additive Manufacturing Process Simulation
Simulation of laser processes are more and more efficient. In some cases, as welding and additive manufacturing, the physical phenomena are complex, multi-physics and multi-phases, thus some assumptions have to be done. For Laser Powder Bed Fusion, a laser beam melts and vaporizes the ... Read More
Bubble Detachment from the Surface of a (Photo)Electrode
Many (photo)electrolytic devices involve the generation of bubbles (e.g., hydrogen, oxygen). In these devices, bubble coverage on the surface of the electrode not only decreases the active area, but also induces optical loss.[1,2] Efforts in understanding the bubble detachment process ... Read More
CFD Modelling of Urban Road Tunnels
Urban road tunnels offer a promising solution to extend existing road infrastructure while mitigating air pollution and nuisances affecting nearby residential areas. By diverting traffic underground, valuable surface space becomes available to address other urban challenges. However, ... Read More
