A Novel Plug n Play MEMS-Based DNA Microarray

K. Jindal [1], V. Grover [1], B. Nayak [1],
[1] Birla Institute of Technology and Science - Pilani, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India

Microarrays are extensively used in modern biology as tools of multiplexed, high throughput analysis to study thousands of genes and their expression inside cells at once [1]. The basic principle of a microarray is quantitative detection of fluorophore tagged DNA. Use of this method ... Read More

Simulation of Diffuse Optical Tomography using COMSOL Multiphysics®

S. A. M. Kirmani [1] , L. Velmanickam [1], D. Nawarathna [1], S. S. Sherif [2], I. T. Lima Jr. [1],
[1] Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND, USA
[2] Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB, Canada

We show that COMSOL Multiphysics® software can efficiently simulate the diffusion equation (DE) in diffusive optical tomography systems. Using our implementation, we simulate a frequency domain diffusive optical tomography system two order of magnitude faster than the standard Monte ... Read More

Quantitative Assessment of Secondary Flows of Single-phase Fluid through Pipe Bends

Z. Kaldy [1], O. Ayala [1],
[1] Department of Engineering Technology, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA, USA

Single-phase fluid flow was simulated passing through various three dimensional pipe elbows. The simulations varied by Reynolds number, curvature ratios, and sweep angles and were all conducted using the k-ε model available in COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The intent of this research ...

Transformation Optics Simulation Method for Stimulated Brillouin Scattering

R. Zecca [1], P. T. Bowen [1], D. R. Smith [1], S. Larouche [1],
[1] Center for Metamaterials and Integrated Plasmonics and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is a nonlinear phenomenon coupling optical and elastic waves. Traditionally regarded as an undesirable side-effect, it has garnered renewed interest as a platform for investigating slow light, nonreciprocity, and for designing high-performance chip ...

Simulating Light Propagation during I-PDT of Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer

E. Oakley [1], H. Arshad [1], G. Shafirstein [1],
[1] Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, NY, USA

Interstitial photodynamic therapy (I-PDT) can be applied for the treatment of locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC). The complex anatomy of LA-HNSCC requires careful planning of the light delivery and fiber insertion. We have developed an image-based approach, ... Read More

Advanced Techniques for Predicting Mechanical Product Design via COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

S. Zhuang [1],
[1] CAEaid, Inc., Austin, TX, USA

Mechanical product design is crucial in many engineering field and lots of industries. CAE simulation has been widely applied for predicting virtual product design for a few decades to reduce the cost and shorten the design life cycle. Because of complicated geometry, material ... Read More

The Use of Finite Element Analysis in the Design of Oil-Water Separators

M. E. Wanas [1], Y. M. Elshazly [1], D. A. ElGayar [1],
[1] Chemical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Alexandria, Alexandria, Egypt

Oil-water separators play an important role in several industries as well as in waste water treatment. However, no basic principles have been set to guarantee the designed separators would work according to the desired efficiency due to the effect various factors. Both time and money ... Read More

A Flow and Transport Model of Catalytic Multi-Pump Systems with Parametric Dependencies

A. Sen [1], D. Myers [1], A. Altemose [1],
[1] Department of Chemistry, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA

This poster studies catalytic micropumps and their ability to induce fluid flow on the microscale. The goal of the study is to design a long-distance, directed convective loop. An array of catalytic micropumps was constructed in the domain, comprised of two distinct catalysts in an ... Read More

Simulation of the Flow of an Autonomous Spherical Ball inside a Pipeline

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

One of the limitations of pipelines performance and structural integrity assessment is the continuous inspection of possible leaks due to corrosion or other types of failure mechanisms. Efforts to develop new technologies started several decades ago where different inspection techniques ... Read More

Acoustic Wave Crack Detection: A First Principles Approach

R. W. Pryor [1],
[1] Pryor Knowledge Systems, Inc., Bloomfield Hills, MI, USA

Crack detection is and has been an active field of exploration, both theoretical and applied for a number of years. It is the belief of this author that the concepts presented herein explore a new methodology for the modeling and the detection of cracks and families of cracks in ... Read More
