Concentration polarization (CP) is a common problem in membrane filtration. It is caused by the convective transport of large molecules towards the membrane surface, however while the solvent passes the membrane as permeate, the molecules are retained and accumulate at the membrane ... Read More
We present a framework for patient-specific study of cardiac motion; in particular, we focus on the deformations of a beating Left Ventricle (LV), confronting numerical simulations with real data acquired by echo-cardiography. Our goal is to determine the clinical importance of the LV ... Read More
Convective instability in a thin liquid layer is observed in many technical systems [1] and is of interest to the self-organization theory. To date, however, only simple problems with the convection between flat plates are well studied [2]. In real systems and devices, convective flows ... Read More
Air core reactors are commonly used as shunt reactors, fault current limiting reactors, tuning reactors in capacitor banks. The absence of the iron-core results in a simple and lightweight construction. Consequently, the magnetic field of an air-core reactor is not guided within a ... Read More
This work presents a small swimmer model in a low Reynolds number ($Re$) environment governed by the equation of motion for Stokes flow in COMSOL Multiphysics®. The entity, a few centimetres helical robot, is located inside of a pipe full of silicone oil, where the forces caused by the ... Read More
A top-down nanosize mechanical resonator has been fabricated with a shape of a fractal. The self-similar structure consists of star-polygons and it is suspended over a 10 μm trench and has width of 12 μm. Its thickness of 0.040 μm is defined by the fabrication process and prescribes ... Read More
Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is a technique for recording spatially resolved electrochemical signals. In a typical SECM experiment an ultramicroelectrode (UME) is immersed in an electrolyte over a sample. Additionally, an electrochemically active species called mediator is ... Read More
Aluminum production potlines operate under significant amperage in a range of 200 kA – 600 kA. High electrical DC currents induce strong magnetic fields. MHD stability, which is a result of electrical current and magnetic field interaction within aluminum reduction cell, is one of highly ... Read More
This study models the energy harvesting reached from an air flow transportation through the flapping of a cantilever polymer flag. The mechanical resonance of the flag is created by a Venturi channel. The flag is charged by triboelectrification and its flapping between two electrodes ... Read More
In this work the implementation of an optimization method [1, 2] for inverse heat transfer and for the sensor position correction, such as thermocouples, in COMSOL Multiphysics®and LiveLink™ for MATLAB® is presented. The inverse method is used to determine the unknown boundary condition ... Read More
