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-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
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 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
A Modeling Approach for Simulating Geothermal Energy Utilization by Borehole Heat Exchangers and Borehole Heat Exchanger Arrays
