Modeling Plant Morphodynamics in Predefined COMSOL Multiphysics® Interface

S. Nikolaev[1], A. Trubuil[2]
[1]Institute of cytology and genetics SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia
[2]Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, Jouy-en-Josas, France

We used a predefined COMSOL Multiphysics® interface to imitate biological growth and shape change (morphodynamics). We found a set of parameters that supply observed morphodynamics for an Arabidopsis embryo during its transition from globular to heart stage. Read More

Heat Propagation Improvement in YBCO-Coated Conductors for Superconducting Fault Current Limiters new

D. M. Djokic[1], L. Antognazza[1], M. Abplanalp[2], M. Decroux[1]
[1]DPMC, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland
[2]ABB Corporate Research Centre, Dättwil, Switzerland

YBCO Coated Conductors (CCs), used for applications in Resistive Superconducting Fault Current Limiters (RSFCLs), are known to have insufficiently high Normal Zone Propagation Velocity (NZPV) during quench events. The improvement can be made by enhancing the thermal conductivity of YBCO ... Read More

Prediction of Temperature and Thermal Stress in Plasma Sprayed Coatings new

M. Raja[1] , G. Hiremath[1], K. Ramachandran[1], P.V.A. Padmanabhan[2], T.K. Thiyagarajan[2]
[1]Karunya University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India
[2]Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Plasma spraying is one of the prominent technologies for wear, corrosion and high temperature resistant coatings. The coating quality is very important to increase the performance of the components as well as to protect the outer surface of the component from external environment. The ... Read More

Design of Microwave Cavity for Non-Thermal Plasma Generation new

N. Manivannan[1], W. Balachandran[1]
[1]Brunel University, Uxbridge, UK

Design of Microwave Resonance Cavity (MRC) to generate non-thermal plasma to treat NOx and SOx from marine diesel engine is presented in this paper. Microwave frequency of 2.45GHz is used generate the required plasma. A number of wave guides are used to transfer the microwave energy ... Read More

FEM Correlation and Shock Analysis of a VNC MEMS Mirror Segment new

E. Aguayo[1], R. Lyon[2], M. Helmbrecht[3], S. Khomusi[1]
[1]The Newton Corporation, Bowie, MD, USA
[2]NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD, USA
[3]Iris AO, Inc., Berkeley, CA, USA

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are becoming more prevalent in today’s space technologies. The Visible Nulling Coronagraph (VNC) instrument, being developed at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, uses a MEMS Mirror to correct wavefront errors. This MEMS, the Multiple Mirror ... Read More

The Geometrical Optimization of MSFL Pad Design by COMSOL Multiphysics® and Design of Experiments new

T. Hao[1], J. M. Singer[1]
[1]GE Oil & Gas, Farnborough, UK

Introduction Micro-Spherically Focused Logging (MSFL) tool is a microresistivity open-hole logging tool designed to measure the resistivity of the flushed zone, a region of formation close to the borehole, independent of any mudcake on the borehole wall. Original designs of MSFL were ... Read More

Impact of Electro-Convection (EC) on Heat Transfer in Liquid-Filled Containers

A. Pokryvailo [1],
[1] Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corporation, Hauppauge, NY, USA

Electric field can bring liquid in motion and thus influence heat transfer. Electro-convection (EC) can be caused by electric forces acting on a liquid, even in absence of space charge. Here, we studied heat transfer in a metal vessel filled by oil, with a submersed high voltage ... Read More

Dried Reagent Resuspension for Point of Care Testing (Analysis at the Patient Bedside)

M. Huet [1],
[1] Department of Biotechnology, CEA/Université Grenoble-Alpes, Grenoble, France

A microfluidic component was designed to collect blood from a finger prick by capillary flow and to perform biological analysis. It was used to perform ABO blood typing experiments in one step, the blood drop deposit, by agglutination of red blood cells (RBC) using embedded dried ... Read More

Numerical Analysis of the Flow Structure in the Continuous Casting Two-strand Tundish

M. Warzecha [1], J. Jowsa [1], A. M. Hutny [1], P. Warzecha [1], T. Merder [2]
[1] Czestochowa University of Technology, Czestochowa, Poland
[2] Silesian University of Technology, Katowice, Poland

Calculations were carried out for the water model of the investigated tundish, represented on a scale 1:3. Numerical calculations enable to estimate the fluid flow velocities, pahtlines and other parameters. Calculations were done for two different grids. Based on the results, the flow ... Read More

Simulation of Acoustical Transfer Paths for Active Noise Control

L. Fromme [1], J. Waßmuth [1], D. Wehmeier [1],
[1] Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, Bielefeld, Germany

The knowledge of the acoustical transfer paths in active noise control systems is very important for the performance of the system. Unfortunately, simulation is challenging since even simple configurations require comprehensive experience in physics and modeling. Two test setups were ... Read More
