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
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
Simulation Based Design of a Bladeless Centrifugal Flow Compressor
The bladeless centripetal flow turbomachinery or disc turbine was invented by Nikola Tesla with the aim to realize a turbine with higher efficiency and simplicity compared to the state of the art at that time. Unlike conventional turbines, the disc turbine does not use rotor blades. ... Read More
Indoor Thermal Analysis of a Storehouse
The aim of this study is to evaluate the airflow thermal distribution inside a storehouse in different operational conditions. A warehouse of 12,600 m3 in volume is considered for fluid-dynamical and thermal analysis. Coupled Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved considering or ... 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
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
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
Introducing Kaleidosim cloudCompanion for COMSOL Multiphysics®
To this day seamless accessibility of local or cloud hardware for high performance computing as well as time consuming workflows involving sequencing and orchestration of available hardware for multiple simulation runs, remain limiting factors within the field of Multiphysics simulation ...
