2-D Ion Transport Modelling of Water Desalination by RO System Considering the Real Membrane Effect
Modern composite membranes for reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) have an ultrathin polyamide active layer (~100 nm) that performs the ion separation. Current theoretical models explain solute and water fluxes by computing concentration and potential gradients developed in one ... Read More
3-D Modeling of Light, Flow, Mass and Heat Transfer in Coral Colonies
Corals are symbiotic marine organisms greatly dependent on the dynamic gradients of light, temperature and chemical species, all affected by the water flow in their surroundings. We developed a multiphysics modelling approach to simulate the microscale spatial distribution of light, ... Read More
3-D Modeling of Stresses and Strains in Accessory Carpal Bone Under Maximum Compressive Loading
When treating fractures of the accessory carpal bones in horses, it is important to understand the forces that implants (screws and plates) must withstand. The etiology of the fracture is not fully understood, but their high incidence during exercise suggests a relation to biomechanical ... Read More
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
3D Numerical Simulation of Resistance Sintering for Electrical Contact Applications for Breakers
In circuit breakers, short-circuit breaking involves extreme conditions linked to the presence of an intense electric arc. This requires the use of specific electrical contacts consisting of a contact tip and its support. SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC uses the resistance sintering technique for the ... 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
