The transport of fluid through nanochannels is of importance in a variety of technological applications, including biological sensing, energy storage and conversion, chemical separation and many others. Synthetic nanofluidic architectures that mimic the gating functions of biological ion ... En savoir plus
In the decades since humans first went to space, there has been growing interest in utilizing microgravity to improve our understanding in many scientific fields (1). Applied fields have included evolutionary development, cell mechanics and protein crystallization (2-4). Microgravity ... En savoir plus
The mesh is a key component in numerical simulations as it represents the spatial discretization of the model geometry. To accurately measure the variation of the unknowns, a relevant mesh should have a high density of degrees of freedom in regions where the norm of the gradient of the ... En savoir plus
Arc plasma can heat and melt the metal material and flows of molten metal can be affected by several forces such as Lorentz force which is ruled by current, Marangoni force controlled by surface tension, buoyancy force, and arc drag force. Usually, surface tension variation is determined ... En savoir plus
The COMSOL Multiphysics® software has proved itself an invaluable tool for teaching "Transport Phenomena" to graduate and undergraduate engineers. In particular, the software allows us to visualize and explore solutions well beyond what students could do with pencil and paper. For ... En savoir plus
Acoustic metamaterials commonly use Helmholtz resonators to attenuate an acoustic signal at the resonator’s resonance frequency. The resonance frequency is only dependent on the geometry, which is shown by representing the Helmholtz resonator as a mass spring system using the lumped ... En savoir plus
Concerning the reduction of fossil-energy use from industrial processes, power generation and transportation, concentrated solar power from dish reflectors is well suited for driving highly endothermic reactions that valorize CO2 and/or light hydrocarbons. In this study, a directly ... En savoir plus
Hydrogen has great potential to be the fuel of the future through utilization in fuel cells, but it is rarely found naturally and must be produced in energy-intensive processes. Steam reforming, the process of heating natural gas and steam in the presence of a catalyst to drive a ... En savoir plus
This study investigates the effect of uniform magnetic field on the deformation of a ferrofluid droplet in a two dimensional (2D) simple shear flow by means of numerical simulation. The magnetic field is applied in a perpendicular direction to the flow direction. A numerical scheme ... En savoir plus
Viscoelastic flow of polymer based energetic materials exiting an extrusion die is a particularly challenging phenomenon to describe by modelling and simulation due to non-Newtonian effects in the die and significant swelling at the exit. This project aims to develop a simulation model ... En savoir plus
