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
Modeling and Multiphysics Simulation of the Directed Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing
In this paper, we present a study of the simulation of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Additive Manufacturing (AM) using a multiphysics approach. We use a combination of Heat Transfer in Fluids, Solid Mechanics and Laminar Flow physics to accurately simulate the DED process. The ... Read More
Modeling Electrochemical Deposition of Aluminum from Ionic Liquids for PCB Applications
While copper remains the dominant material for conduction paths in printed circuit board (PCB) applications, both technological and economic reasons have been motivating research on substituting copper with aluminum (Al). Despite its 60 % higher specific electrical resistance, aluminum ... Read More
Modeling of a Vapor Chamber Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
High power consumption chips have already become a major challenge for modern processors causing low thermal performances. Existing thermal solutions are not able to solve these high temperature issues efficiently. Two-phase cooling devices such as heat pipes and vapor chambers have ... Read More
Modeling of Acoustically Induced Rapid Mixing Processes in Microchannels Using Acoustic Streaming
Technical advancements in miniaturization in the last decades have, among others, brought forth the technology of so called “Lab-on-a-Chip” (LOC) systems. These systems provide the possibility to automate and accelerate certain laboratory processes, e.g., biomedical diagnostics, on the ... Read More
Modeling of an Ensemble Averaged Electric Arc in a Laboratory-Scale Electric Arc Furnace
This work, which is done in the framework of the SisAl Pilot EU project, presents the use of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software for simulating an ensemble averaged electric arc in a laboratory-scale electric arc furnace. The SisAl Pilot project aims at optimising the silicon production in ... Read More
Modeling of Delayed Desorption in Activated Carbon Filter Systems for Air Purification Applications.
Activated carbon filtration has proven to be a reliable method to clean indoor air. In such a system, air, contaminated with VOCs, is led through the filter where the contaminants are adsorbed onto the filter. However, for the long term stability of the air purification system, it is ... Read More
Modeling of Droplet Charge Dynamics During an Ink Jet Breakup Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) printing technologies are widely used in the field of industrial coding and marking. These technologies are based on the emission of a high-speed jet of ink droplets (20 m/s) onto the surface of a moving medium. To maintain sufficient print quality, it is ... Read More
Modeling of Iron Ore Reduction Above the Cohesive Zone of the Blast Furnace
The blast furnace shaft is a huge counter flow reactor in which heat and mass exchange play a significant role in its mathematical modelling. The heat exchange model is already available in COMSOL Multiphysics® via the Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium interface. This multiphysics coupling ... Read More
Modelling of Custom-Made Photocatalytic Wind Tunnel for Air Purification by Solar Photocatalysis
Heterogeneous photocatalysis an advanced oxidation process (AOP) which in combination with a catalyst and UV irradiation completely mineralizes organic pollutants from water or gases into harmless compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Photocatalysis as a process is ... Read More
