The article deals with the magnetically-supported high-power full-penetration laser beam welding of aluminum. A stationary simulation was conducted accounting for the effects of natural convection, Marangoni convection and solid-liquid phase transition as well as an electromagnetic ... Read More
Latent heat storage devices use the melting enthalpy of a so-called phase change material (PCM) to store thermal energy. Open porous metals, such as 3D wire structures, allow the design of systems with tailored storage capacity and power. A geometric unit cell was identified, modelled ... Read More
The article deals with the application of the Hartmann effect in high power laser beam welding of aluminum. The movement of liquid metal in a magnetic field causes electric currents which build a Lorentz force that decelerates the original flow. The numerical model calculates the ... Read More
In the steelmaking processes, the stirring of the metal bath by argon (or nitrogen) injection is a widely used method to achieve chemical or thermal homogeneity. Computational fluid dynamics can be used as a very powerful tool to gain an insight into the mass transfer and heat transfer ... Read More
In many metallurgical processes metals are (heated and) stirred by an oscillating external magnetic field. The magnetic field induces electric currents in the metal and the currents interact with the magnetic field to create a force, the Lorentz force. For high frequencies induction only ... Read More
In a commercial 3D printer head, plastic ribbon passes through a hot nozzle of an extruder to dispense liquid plastic droplets to construct the model. In this paper a 2D axisymmetric model of a 3D head is considered to study the secondary transition change from below the glass ... Read More
The extrusion of polyolefin pipes suffers degradation due to mechanical design problems of the extrusion die that is commonly used. This study uses numerical and computational approaches to detect problematic areas in the die geometry. Simulations show that in the conventional die there ... Read More
Selective laser melting (SLM) is a popular additive manufacturing (AM) process that creates 3D metal parts by fusing fine metallic powder together. However, it remains difficult to certify AM part as its final quality can largely vary, depending on material and process variations. These ... Read More
In this paper, we simulated the heating of a work piece by coupling two heat sources. Concentrated solar energy was applied at the bottom of the work piece, which generated a heat flux from the parabolic solar dish concentrator. Subsequently, induction heating was applied, which ... Read More
In this conference we have brought together a community that is scientifically diverse in an event that allows for inspiring contacts about the use of COMSOL Multiphysics. It is an event to connect with the Spanish and Portuguese COMSOL Multiphysics users and participate in training ... Read More
