How Finite Element Analysis Revolutionized a 100-Year Old Equation

K. Carlson [1], J. Arle [1], J. L. Shils [2], L. Mei [1],
[1] Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA
[2] Rush Medical Center, Chicago, IL, USA

In 1901 Weiss proposed an equation predicting activation of nerve fibers by electrical stimulation, used in neuroscience and neuromodulation, which applies electric fields to modify nerve behavior in neurological disorders. Weiss’ equation is relative to geometry, electrode array, ... Read More

Numerical Modeling of Magnetic Field Emissions From am HDD Walkover Locating System

A. Jaganathan [1], J. Montoute [1],
[1] Louisiana Tech University, Ruston, LA, USA

In this paper, numerical modeling of the artificially induced magnetic field from a walk-over locator used to detect the drill head underground in Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is presented. Numerical predictions are compared against the experimental data and closed-form ... Read More

CFD Analysis of a Macroscale Ultrasonic Separator

K. Chitale [1], B. Lipkens [1, 2], W. Presz, Jr. [1],
[1] FloDesign Sonics Inc., Wilbraham, MA, USA
[2] Western New England University, Springfield, MA, USA

Macroscale ultrasonic separation is a new filtration technology, with various applications such as cell clarification, cell therapy, blood-lipid separation, oil-water separation etc. These systems use piezoelectric transducers to create standing waves in fluid-particle mixture. Suspended ... Read More

Advanced Modeling of a Lung-on-a-Chip Microdevice

M. J. Hancock [1], N. H. Elabbasi [1],
[1] Veryst Engineering, Needham, MA, USA

Organ-on-a-chip microdevices combine microfluidics, MEMS, and biotechnology techniques to mimic the multicellular architectures, tissue-tissue interfaces, physicochemical microenvironments, and vascular perfusion of the body.[1] Such devices are being developed to provide better levels ...

Modeling Scheil Cooling of a Metal Alloy: Thermodynamic and Multiphysics Solidification

T. Marin-Alvarado [1],
[1] M4Dynamics, Toronto, ON, Canada

During solidification of a multicomponent liquid, either a metal alloy, a sulphide matte or an oxide slag system, the process is highly dependant not only on temperature but in composition as well. The thermodynamic properties of the system will dictate what phases or mixtures ... Read More

Simulation of a Dynamic Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger for Non-Newtonian Fluids

S. Birla [1],
[1] ConAgra Foods, Omaha, NE, USA

Scraped surface heat exchangers (SSHEs) are commonly used in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries for heat transfer, crystallization, and other continuous processes. One of the factor posing difficulties to heat transfer is viscosity. Highly viscous fluids tend to generate ... Read More

Analysis of a Prototype MRI Hybrid Birdcage RF Coil with Uncertainty Quantification (*)

J. T. Fong [1],
[1] National Institute of Standards & Technology, Gaithersbug, MD, USA

INTRODUCTION. In a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system (see Fig. 1), it is necessary to excite the nuclei of a patient into coherent precession for imaging. This requires coupling between the nuclei and a source of radio frequency (RF) power (the transmitter). To receive a ... Read More

Electromagnetic Modeling of a Millimeter-Wavelength Resonant Cavity

J. C. Weatherall [1], J. Barber [1], B. T. Smith [2], J. Greca [1],
[1] Battelle Memorial Institute, Norwell, MA, USA
[2] U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Science and Technology Directorate, Washington, DC, USA

The measurement of dielectric constant at frequencies of 20 GHz or greater is important for specifying the optical properties of materials at millimeter wavelength. One method of measurement uses a resonant cavity containing a sample of the material, and relates the resonant frequency ... Read More

Effect of Pretreatments on Throwing Power of Sacrificial Metallic Coatings

J. S. Lee [1],
[1] Naval Research Laboratory, Stennis Space Center, MS, USA

Sacrificial metallic coatings (e.g. Mg-Rich Primer [MgRP]) have been evaluated for protection of aircraft aluminum alloy AA2024-T351 in marine immersion and atmospheric conditions. MgRP is designed to create a galvanic couple between the Al substratum and the Mg pigment in the primer. ... Read More

CFD Simulation of Pore Pressure Oscillation Method to Measure the Permeability of Tight Formations

M. Mokhtari [1], S. A. Madani [1], A. Seibi [1],
[1] Department of Petroleum Engineering, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, LA, USA

Accurate estimation of rock permeability and porosity play a crucial role in the evaluation of oil and gas reservoirs. This evaluation is, however, challenging in tight formations such as shale due to the slow transition of fluid in such formations with extremely-low permeability. To ... Read More
