The research project under which the COMSOL simulations are performed deals with multilayer and fine thermal control of an optical reference cavity for space applications. The cavity, made of Ultra Low Expansion glass (Corning ULE), must be kept close to the zero expansion temperature of ... En savoir plus
In this paper a methodology for calculating the infrared signature of complex objects is presented. The transient thermal analysis allows us to evaluate the temperature distribution on the investigated object, pointing out which parts tend to be warmer. These temperature values are ...

The hot stamping of boron steels for producing complex structural components of the car body-in-white is more and more widespread. Optimization of sheet forming technologies at elevated temperatures is still troublesome, since the thermal, mechanical and metallurgical phenomena ... En savoir plus
Multi-physics simulations of the evolution of cure induced stresses in a viscoelastic thermoset polymeric resin are presented. The viscoelastic material model is implemented with a relaxation spectrum with 34 relaxation time constants. The trends in viscoelastic stresses at different ... En savoir plus
Steam Generator Test Facility (SGTF) is set up in IGCAR to optimize the design of Steam Generators (SG) for Fast Breeder Reactors. In the SG of SGTF heat exchange takes place from sodium which enters at 525 ºC and leaves at 355 ºC temperature to the water/steam which enters at 235 ºC and ... En savoir plus
The novel concept of distributing the food super chilled (partially frozen) in order to prolong the shelf life has been suggested in the project. The temperature of the distribution chain is envisaged to be +5C. The suggested application has the following advantages: 1) Partial ... En savoir plus
Benchmarks are an important tool to verify computational models. In the research area of building physics, the so-called HAMSTAD (Heat, Air and Moisture Standardization) project is a very well known benchmark for the testing of simulation tools. In this paper we evaluate the use of ... En savoir plus
Dr. Christian Deville-Cavellin is a Research Engineer at Ugitech's Research Center, since 1995. Ugitech, member of the Schmoltz & Bickenbach group, is a stainless steel, long products producer. C. Deville-Cavellin is responsible for all research topics related to liquid metal ... En savoir plus
Hunting Lodge St. Hubertus is one of the most prominent Dutch buildings from the early twentieth century. An extensive study of wind and wind-driven rain (WDR) was conducted to provide insight into the moisture load of the building facade, using measurements and CFD simulations. COMSOL ... En savoir plus
In this work, we present simulations of a novel micromachined calorimetric flow sensor using COMSOL Multiphysics. The sensor is based on four germanium thermistors that serve as heat sources and as temperature sensors simultaneously. In operational mode, the heated membrane is cooled by ... En savoir plus
