Comparison of User vs. COMSOL® Developed Automated Installation Verification of COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

M. W. Crowell [1],
[1] Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, USA

Verifying that a local software installation performs as the developer intended is a potentially time consuming but necessary step for safety related codes. Automating this process not only saves time, but can increase reliability and scope of verification compared to ‘hand’ comparisons. ... Read More

Optimization of a Thermoelectric Conversion System

J. R. Chase [1],
[1] Alphabet Energy, Hayward, CA, USA

Thermoelectric materials have no theoretical limit to conversion efficiency of heat into electrical power. In order to compete with other forms of power generation and small-scale energy conversion, thermoelectric converters need to maximize their practical usability when integrated with ... Read More

Simulating Spiking Neurons Using a Simple Mathematical Model

S. Kirigeeganage [1], J. Naber [1], D. Jackson [1], R. Keynton [1], T. Roussel [1],
[1] University of Louisville, Louisville, KY, USA

This paper utilizes COMSOL Multiphysics® software and the Application Builder to simulate neurological responses in nerve axons due to external electrical stimuli. The AC/DC Module of the COMSOL® software is first used to solve the Maxwell's equations. Then the results from the Maxwell's ... Read More

$Modeling of a Diffraction Grating Coupled Waveguide Based Biosensor for ...$

Modeling of a Diffraction Grating Coupled Waveguide Based Biosensor for Microfluidic Applications

Y. Wu [1], M. L. Adams [1],
[1] Auburn University, Auburn, AL, USA

Grating couplers are a common optical component for introducing light into chip-based photonic structures. They are used extensively for optical interconnects and optical device integration. A microfluidic diffraction grating coupled waveguide (MDGCW) biosensor applies a grating coupler ... Read More

Using COMSOL Multiphysics® Software for Benchmarking Problems in Cell Migration

M. Nickaeen [1], I. L. Novak [1], A. Mogilner [2], B. M. Slepchenko [1],
[1] Richard D. Berlin Center for Cell Analysis and Modeling, University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, CT, USA
[2] Courant Institute and Department of Biology, New York University, New York, NY, USA

A recently published conservative algorithm for simulating reactions and transport in moving domains have been extended to models in which cell kinematics are coupled with intracellular dynamics. For this, the method that combines a Eulerian approach with tracking an explicit boundary ... Read More

Design of a Self-Recharging Untethered Mobile Inspection Tool inside a Pipeline

W. Chalgham [1], A. C. Seibi [1],
[1] University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, LA, USA

Pipeline inspection tools present some limitations related to power supply which require recharging after each operation. Using batteries or tethered tools make the duration to inspect any pipeline very limited and time consuming. This paper aims at designing a spherical self-recharging ... Read More

Simulating Fluid Flow through a Culture Chip for Cell Migration Studies in Microgravity

A. Dhall [1], T. Masiello [1], L. Butt [1], M. Strohmayer [1], M. Hemachandra [1], N. Tokranova [1], J. Castracane [1],
[1] Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, SUNY Polytechnic Institute, Albany, NY, USA

Exposure to microgravity is known to alter genomic and proteomic expression and suppress immune cell activity. These changes may influence cancer development. Studying cancer cells in this environment, may help uncover novel therapeutic targets. SUNY Polytechnic Institute and ... Read More

Modeling of Mixing-Sensitive Pharmaceutical Drug Substance Processes in Batch Reactors

F. Akpinar [1], B. Cohen [1], J. Tabora [1], A. Glace [1], K. Lauser [1], F. Lora Gonzalez [1], J. Albrecht [1],
[1] Bristol-Myers Squibb, New Brunswick, NJ, USA

Manufacturing of pharmaceutical drug substances involves chemical unit operations that are dependent on effective mixing, particularly reactions and crystallizations. Poor mixing can cause uneven distribution of chemical species in stirred tanks, leading to impurity formation and ... Read More

Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Piezoelectric Bimorph For Broadband Energy Harvesting

N. Chen [1], V. Bedekar [1],
[1] Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN, USA

The objective of this research is to design a millimeter scale broadband energy harvester device through the use of a multi-cantilever beam approach with a non-linear geometry. In this research, we use COMSOL Multiphysics® software to design, simulate and analyze the voltage and power ... Read More

Ion Concentration and Electromechanical Actuation Simulations of Ionic Polymer-Metal Composites

K. J. Kim [1], T. Stalbaum [1], Q. Shen [1],
[1] Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, NV, USA

Ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) materials are promising candidates for soft robotics and artificial muscle applications. The primary actuation mechanism in such devices is ion migration in a polymer membrane, localized swelling, and a corresponding overall material deformation, ... Read More
