以内表面为主要工作面的管状工件，常因表面磨损、腐蚀等发生早期失效，其表面强化问题在工业应用中具有迫切的需求。真空阴极电弧沉积（VAD）由于工艺温度低，离化率高（60~80%），沉积层致密等优点，是制备表面抗磨损抗腐蚀改性层的重要技术。但对管状工件而言，该技术存在离子衰减问题，即有效沉积的膜层厚度随管件深度出现明显下降，甚至在一定深度管件内表面难沉积。磁场具有使粒子发生拉莫尔回旋、梯度漂移和曲率漂移运动，从而调控粒子轨迹的作用。针对电弧发射的离子（以Ti离子为例），通过COMSOL®的AC/DC模块中的磁场接口仿真辅助线圈的稳态磁场分布，再以磁场分布结果为不变物理场 ...

对气传真菌孢子进行分离和分类是实现农作物真菌病害早期精确检测的重要环节，基于气溶胶颗粒运动理论，论文提出了多级力学耦合微流控芯片的气传孢子提取方法。利用COMSOL Multiphysics软件的CFD和粒子追踪功能，设计多弯曲通道的一级分离结构，实现气流中单孢子和团聚态孢子的预处理和初级分离。然后根据单向受力加速原理，设计径向鞘流加速的二级分离结构，实现对气流中特定孢子提取的二级分离。在两级分离结构之间设置了台阶递降和双鞘流聚焦耦合结构，以保证通道宽度和气流速度的匹配。论文阐述了各环节的工作原理，并分别进行了实验分析和验证。研究结果表明 ... Read More

Bio-compatibilized G/GO/RGO composite structures with embedded stearic acid on a bilayer structure model, biomimicking the cellular lipid bilayer are introduced through successive models. The solvent accessible surface of the models (van der Waals surface) and the related MD values were ... Read More

Laser cladding is an additive manufacturing process, where a laser beam creates a melt pool, into which powder is fed from a powder nozzle. Due to the feed motion of the laser beam and the powder nozzle relative to the workpiece, coatings and 3D parts can be deposited, which consist of ... Read More

The Laser Metal Deposition process (LMD) is a rapid free form fabrication method which can be used to manufacture new near net shape metallic components, to repair used ones or to add functional parts on existing ones. This process is composed by multiple gas streams flowing inside a ... Read More

Air pollution caused by particulate matter (PM) is one of the most severe issues in urban environments. Urban green infrastructure (UGI), in particular green walls, have been proven to be capable of capturing PM via deposition on leaves. This phenomenon was assessed by numerical ... Read More

The mesh is a key component in numerical simulations as it represents the spatial discretization of the model geometry. To accurately measure the variation of the unknowns, a relevant mesh should have a high density of degrees of freedom in regions where the norm of the gradient of the ... Read More

Water disinfection using UV light is a well-known technology. Conventionally, mercury based cylindrical lamps are used, however, recently LED based UV lamps have emerged on a commercial scale. These devices hold several advantages compared to the conventional lamps, e.g. being mercury ... Read More

In the decades since humans first went to space, there has been growing interest in utilizing microgravity to improve our understanding in many scientific fields (1). Applied fields have included evolutionary development, cell mechanics and protein crystallization (2-4). Microgravity ... Read More

One of the obstacles preventing photovoltaic and concentrated solar power technologies from scaling up to meet increasing electricity demands is the inevitable dust accumulation on the optical surfaces of solar collectors. The ideal location for solar power is arid environments due to ... Read More
