Multiphysics Simulation of Polymer-Based Filters for Sub-Millimeter Space Optics

N. Baccichet[1], G. Savini[1]
[1]Department of Physics and Astronomy, University College London, London, UK

Multiphysics Simulation of Polymer-Based Filters for Sub-Millimeter Space Optics This work focuses its analysis on polymer-based filters used in space-borne astronomical instrumentation for Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation and Far-Infrared observations. Most of these observatories ... Read More

Numerical Analysis of the Response of Thick Wires to Extreme Dynamic Electro-Mechanical Loads

R. Cunrath[1], M. Wickert[2]
[1]Fraunhofer EMI, Efringen-Kirchen, Germany
[2]Fraunhofer EMI, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany

Research at Fraunhofer EMI addresses the response of materials in extreme dynamic loads. Besides mechanical or thermal loads, intense electric pulse currents also represent an extreme dynamic load. Experimentally, metallic samples, mainly thick wires, were electro-mechanically loaded ... Read More

Simulation of Cascaded Thermoelectric Devices for Cryogenic Medical Treatment

P. Aliabadi[1], S. Mahmoud[1], R. K. AL-Dadah[1]
[1]Mechanical Engineering Department, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK

This study is focused on using a thermoelectric device (TED) as an alternative to the cryogenic liquid for cooling cryosurgical probe used for cancerous tissue ablation. Thermoelectric device, namely Peltier, is a solid state device which converts electric current to thermal gradient. In ... Read More

Computational Modeling of the Impact of Solar Irradiance on Chemical Degradation of Painted Wall Hangings in a Historical Interior

Z. Huijbregts[1], A. van Schijndel[1], H. Schellen[1], K. Keune[2], M. Eikema Hommes[3,4]
[1]Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
[2]University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
[3]Cultural Heritage Agency, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
[4]Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands

The historic Hofkeshuis in Almelo (The Netherlands) locates a unique work of art: three walls in the rear salon of the private house are covered with an 18th century series of painted wall hangings (Figure 1). The simple and similar pigmentation of the paintings, their original hanging, ... Read More

Simulations of Lateral Flow and Vertical Flow Microarray Assays for Point of Care Diagnostics

G. E. Svedberg[1], L. Lama[1], J. Gantelius[1]
[1]Science for Life Laboratory, Stockholm, Sweden

Paper based lateral flow assays are widely used as point of care devices for disease diagnostics due to their low cost, short run time and ease of use. Binder molecules specific for certain molecular biomarkers of interest are typically deposited as dots or lines on paper strips, ... Read More

MEMS Acoustic Pixel

A. Arevalo[1], I. G. Foulds[2]
[1]King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Thuwal, Saudi Arabia
[2]The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada

A COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation was used to simulate the behavior of a micro-membrane (Acoustic Pixel) to be used as a potential acoustic transducer. The MEMS and Piezoelectric devices interfaces were used to simulate such transducer. A four-cantilever spring configuration is initially ... Read More

Improving Blood Flow Simulations Using Known Data

T. Guerra[1], J. Tiago[2]
[1]Escola Superior de Tecnologia do Barreiro do Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal, Barreiro, Portugal
[2]Instituto Superior Técnico da Universidade de Lisboa, Lisboa, Portugal

Numerical simulations applied to blood flow together with the imaging processing advances are a powerful tool in the prevention and treatment of some diseases. The inclusion of real data in the numerical blood flow simulations allows the achievement of more realistic and accurate ... Read More

Thermal Natural Convection Simulations with COMSOL Multiphysics® in Comparison with Measurements

H. van Halewijn[1]
[1]Fontys University of Applied Physics, Eindhoven, The Netherlands

In a laboratory setup a horizontal rod is heated on one side. By natural convection a stable temperature pattern is developed. Using the Nusselt formulation of the natural convection of cylindrical rods, the temperature distribution can be calculated. Only a good match of the simulations ... Read More

Finite Element Study of the Mass Transfer in Annular Reactor

Y. M. S. El-Shazly[1], S. W. Eletriby[1]
[1]Alexandria University, Alexandria, Alexandria, Egypt.

The annular reactor is a very useful design to carry many chemical reactions. In this study, COMSOL Multiphysics® software was used to study the isothermal mass transfer from the inner side of the outer tube of the annular reactor in the range of 200 Read More

Heat Drain Device on Ultrasound Imaging Probe

G. Vigna[1], L. Spicci[1]
[1]Esaote SPA, Florence, Italy

Self-heating is a problem to consider for Ultrasound Imaging probes. Since the probe is in contact with the skin, it’s necessary to find a solution to lower the front face temperature in order to avoid patient discomfort, even at the most demanding operating condition. One solution ... Read More
