Combustion Resistance of Fine Metal Parts
The presence of oxygen in metal installations can influence their flammability, which leads to frequent combustion ignitions. Various studies have been done to characterize this ignition, in order to classify metals according to their degree of flammability, and to minimize the risk of ... Read More
Computational Modeling of Plasma Using Single-Fluid and Two-Fluid Modeling Approaches
Plasma, a complex fluid consisting of electrons, ions, neutrals, and excited species, exhibits both fluid-like behavior and electrical conductivity due to the presence of charge carriers. Consequently, computational modeling of plasma requires the integration of fluid and electrical ... Read More
Convective Heat and Moisture Transfer Modelling in Porous Insulation for Large Thermal Storage
In view of an energy system based on fluctuating renewable sources, the use of thermal energy storage (TES) systems plays a crucial role. In particular, large-scale underground water-based TES represent a promising solution as demonstrated by a number of cases currently being established ... Read More
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
Elastohydrodynamics of Roll-to-Plate Nanoimprinting on Non-Flat Substrates
Roll-to-plate nanoimprinting is a manufacturing method to replicate micro- and nanotextures on large-area substrates with UV-curable resins. Figure 1 shows a schematic of the roll-to-plate imprint process, which is considered in this study [1]. It uses several rollers, for imprinting and ... Read More
