In 2014, it was estimated that there are between 6 to 7 million people worldwide infected by Chagas disease and approximately 25 million people are currently at risk. The parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) causes this disease and according to the World Health Organization (WHO) it can ... En savoir plus
PECM is a necessary extension to traditional ECM for some high-performance materials. Electrolyte flow in the inter-electrode gap (IEG) can be assisted using a magnetic field to allow higher currents, but this creates a magnetohydrodynamic flow. This paper presents a study of flow ...

A three-dimensional model of particle saltation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is presented. This model domain reproduces a flat and irregular terrain with uniform roughness. The domain extends 2 m in X, 0.5 m in Y and 0.5 in Z for both cases. The model includes the motion of ... En savoir plus
This paper presents the use of COMSOL's Conjugate Heat Transfer capabilities to model the coupled conduction, convection and surface-to-surface radiation heat transfer in a combustion chamber, firetube heat exchanger device. The paper details the geometry, mesh, governing equations and ... En savoir plus
For the commercialization of membraneless microfluidic fuel cell, voltage and minimum power demand for various applications need a precise selection of fuel and oxidant flow rates to achieve the optimum cell performance. A numerical study on a membraneless microfluidic fuel cell was made ... En savoir plus
Recent advances in additive manufacturing enable rapid production of low-cost custom devices.[1-2] Despite modern 3D printers apparent resolutions on the order of tens of microns, for microfluidic applications there are challenges associated with the creation of channels below a few ...

This talk is for intermediate-level users of COMSOL who, like the present author, are relative newcomers to numerical simulation but have a strong grounding in Hydrodynamics or related areas of Mathematical Physics. Most turn-key Computational Fluid Dynamics packages, including COMSOL ... En savoir plus
The process of cold drawing a fiber over rollers is analyzed in this work to predict the temperature rise due to the heat generated during plastic deformation of the fiber. Experimental measurements on prototypes indicated an unacceptable temperature rise of greater than 100 F requiring ... En savoir plus
Syringes were first conceptualized in 1650, but were invented in 1853 by Dr. Alexander Wood. As of 2011, nearly 8 billion syringes are used each year in the United States for medical purposes (not including veterinary services). These syringes are used for diseases like diabetes, ... En savoir plus
Solenoid valves control fluid flow by using the passage of an electric current to produce a magnetic field that controls the displacement of a pre-tensioned plunger. As the electric current increases, the induced force causes the plunger to move upward against the force exerted by a ... En savoir plus
