When Precise Numerical Predictions Come to the Rescue of Liquid Lubrication

J. D. Wheeler [1], V. Bruyere [1], P. Namy [1],
[1] SIMTEC, Grenoble, France

Whereas some bearings designed in the 19th century are still working properly nowadays, some others which were recently designed encountered premature failures. Tribological applications, such as journal bearings or rolling element bearings, are generally ruled by complicated ... Per saperne di più

Applied fields have included evolutionary development, cell mechanics and protein crystallization (2-4). Microgravity ... Per saperne di più

Adaptive Mesh Refinement: Quantitative Computation of a Rising Bubble Using COMSOL Multiphysics®

T. Preney [1], P. Namy [1], J. Wheeler [1]
[1] SIMTEC, Grenoble, France

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 ... Per saperne di più

The Effect of Aluminum Content on Convective Flow of Molten Metal Generated by Arc Plasma

Y. T. Cho [1], C. K. Kim [1], H. U. Hong [1],
[1] Changwon National University, Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea

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 ... Per saperne di più

Several Hydrodynamic Instabilities Illustrated Using the COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

C. F. Ivory [1],
[1] Washington State University, Pullman, WA, USA

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 ... Per saperne di più

Resonance Frequency of a Helmholtz Resonator

R. Hill [1], M. Mendieta [1], P. Bruce [1], E. Stokes [1]
[1] Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, University of North Carolina - Charlotte, Charlotte, NC, USA

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 ... Per saperne di più
