An MHD Study of the Behavior of an Electrolyte Solution Using 3D Numerical Simulation

L. P. Aoki[1], H. E. Schulz[1], M. G. Maunsell[1]
[1]University of São Paulo, São Carlos, SP, Brazil

This article considers a closed water circuit with square cross section filled with an electrolyte fluid. The conductor fluid was moved using an electromagnetic pump, in which a permanent magnet generates a magnetic field and electrodes generate the electric field in the flow. Thus, the ... Read More

Pros and Cons of Running COMSOL Multiphysics® Touch-Sensor Simulations on Amazon Web Services™

A. Gourevitch[1]
[1]Cypress Semiconductor Corp., San Jose, CA, USA

We report an implementation of parallel computing on Amazon Web Services™ (AWS) for touch-sensor modeling. COMSOL Multiphysics® was used to simulate an electromagnetic field distribution in a capacitive sensor assembly. Multiple COMSOL jobs were deployed on separate AWS instances and ... Read More

Finite Element Modeling of a Pulsed Eddy Current Probe for Steam Generator Tube Inspection

S. G. Mokros[1, 2], V. K. Babbar[1], T. W. Krause[1], J. Morelli[2]
[1]Department of Physics, Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston, ON, Canada
[2]Department of Physics, Engineering Physics and Astronomy, Queen's University, Kingston, ON, Canada

Steam generator (SG) tubes in CANDU® nuclear reactors can lose efficiency in the presence of corrosion and its by-products. Condition monitoring of support structures could help direct maintenance activities and thereby increase SG tube lifetime. Pulsed eddy current (PEC) has been ... Read More

Three-Dimensional Numerical Study of the Flow Past a Magnetic Obstacle

[3]Institute of Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics, Ilmenau University of Technology, Ilmenau, Germany
[4]Instituto de Energías Renovables, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Temixco, Morelos, México

Flows of electrically conducting liquids in external magnetic fields are present in several applications. In this kind of flow, the inhomogeneous magnetic field creates a breaking force on the conducting fluid. As a result, a stagnant zone is formed in the zone affected by the localized ... Read More

Optimizing Inductor Winding Geometry for Lowest DC-Resistance using COMSOL Multiphysics® with LiveLink™ for MATLAB®

H. Schneider[1], T. Andersen[1], J. D. Mønster[1], M. P. Madsen[1], A. Knott[1], M. A. E. Andersen[1]
[1]Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark

An optimization routine is presented to optimize a hybrid winding geometry for a toroid inductor in terms of the DC-resistance. The hybrid winding geometry consist of bended foil pieces connected through traces in a PCB. MATLAB® is used to create a GUI that visually plots the winding ... Read More

Comparing Isotropic and Anisotropic Brain Conductivity Modeling: Planning Optimal Depth-Electrode Placement in White Matter for Direct Stimulation Therapy in an Epileptic Circuit

L. C. Zaragoza[1], B. Hondorp[2], M. A. Rossi[3]
[1]ITESM, Monterrey, Mexico
[2]Rush Medical College, Chicago, IL, USA
[3]Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL, USA

The goal of our work was to calculate a patient-specific brain conductivity map for predicting the extent to which direct stimulation therapy can strategically propagate through pathological white matter. Our laboratory developed isotropic and anisotropic human brain finite element ... Read More

Investigation of a Hybrid Winding Concept for Toroidal Inductors Using 3D Finite Element Modeling

H. Schneider[1], T. Andersen[1], J. D. Mønster[1], M. P. Madsen[1], A. Knott[1], M. A. E. Andersen[1]
[1]Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark

This paper investigates a hybrid winding concept for a toroidal inductor by simulating the winding resistance as a function of frequency. The problem of predicting the resistance of a non-uniform and complex winding shape is solved using 3D Finite Element Modeling. A prototype is built ... Read More

Modeling Magnetic Induction from Transient Events Impinging upon a Conducting Moon
