Dynamic Analysis of a Roller Compacted Concrete Dam

H. Diaz-Alvarez [1], L. De Jesus-Diaz [1], M. H. McKenna [1],
[1] U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, MS, USA

The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is currently exploring the use of infrasound sensors to monitor the health of structures of interest. Infrasound is acoustic energy below 20 Hz and is capable of propagating many kilometers from the source with little ... Read More

Design and Simulation of 3D Printed Check Valves Using Fluid-Structure Interaction

A. M. Melvin [1], T. J. Roussel [1],
[1] Department of Bioengineering, J.B. Speed School of Engineering, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY, USA

Passive, one-way valves, also known as check valves, while common at the macro scale, are an essential microfluidic feature that facilitate flow rectification. These structures are also commonly used in reciprocating micropump configurations to control flow. Their operation can be ... Read More

Damage Simulation of Fracture Asperity in Geothermal Systems

C. Zeng [1], W. Deng [1],
[1] Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, MO, USA

Mechanical simulation at one pair of asperity contact has been conducted using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and the Structural Mechanics Module to study the sliding friction of rock fractures surface as real fracture surface contact slides driven by pressure solution. The evolving ... Read More

Coupled Optical and Thermal Modeling of Novel Solar Thermal Collectors

A. Hassanzadeh [1], Y. Bhusal [1],
[1] University of California - Merced, Merced, CA, USA

In the present study, the performance of the two novel solar thermal collectors are modeled using COMSOL Multiphysics. Firstly, Parabola and seagull geometries are utilized as primary and secondary reflector with high concentrator(50X) for high temperature application (650°C). Secondly ... Read More

COMSOL® Modeling and Tensile Loading of Aluminum Material Test Samples

J. L. Palladino [1],
[1] Trinity College, Hartford, CT, USA

Material test samples are commonly subjected to tensile testing, with an extensometer used to measure changes in length of the material to determine strain. Lacking an extensometer, strain gages were used to measure longitudinal and transverse strain, with the location and magnitudes of ... Read More

COMSOL® Analysis-Led Design of Prototype Coil Program for Bi-2212 Coils

E. Bosque [1], U. Trociewitz [1],
[1] Applied Superconductivity Center - National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Tallahassee, FL, USA

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) strives to push magnet technology to ever higher field strengths. Supported by a unified effort of material research as well as coil research, Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi 2212) technology shows promise as a high temperature superconductor (HTS) ... Read More

COMSOL Multiphysics® as a Tool for Biomedical Engineering Students to Harness Physical Processes

J. Bush [1],
[1] Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA, USA

The field of Biomedical Engineering is expanding at an exponential rate. As we began to unravel clues about our complex biological vessels, we uncovered more questions than answers. Our collective curiosity has led biomedical engineering into a broadening field by study of physiological ... Read More

Computational Fluid Dynamic Study of Fixed Bed Reactor of Hydrotreating of Vegetable Oil

N. Casillas [1], L. Olivo [1],
[1] Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Ciudad de México, México

Hydrodynamics of fixed bed reactors involve complex interactions of gas and liquid phases with packed solids. Such complex interactions manifest in different flow regimes occurring in trickle-bed reactors. A comprehensive CFD model was developed to predict measured hydrodynamic ... Read More

Catalytic Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Propane to Propylene

E. B. Ledesma [1],
[1] University of St. Thomas, Houston, TX, USA

Propylene is the second most important olefin and the second largest volume industrial chemical produced globally. In 2015, the global demand for propylene was about 94 million metric tons. The largest use for propylene is the production of polypropylene, consuming 67% of propylene ... Read More
