Power grids need to be properly maintained in order to protect them from system failure. Engineers at ABB use multiphysics simulation to design instrument transformers and sensors that can withstand overvoltages and be used in submersible underground vault applications. Per saperne di più
To design reverberation systems for measuring the performance of wireless devices and wideband antennas, engineers at Bluetest, a pioneer in wireless test solutions, use RF simulation. Simulation streamlined the team's development cycle of design, fabrication, testing, and validation. Per saperne di più
The production of puffed rice, like many other types of food, is incredibly complicated and involves multiple interconnected types of physics: mass transport, phase transitions, and plastic deformation. Professor Ashim Datta of Cornell University is leading a team to simulate the puffing ... Per saperne di più
Historically, difficulties in modeling and predicting combustion instability have led engineers to costly physical testing, or even to scrap the system entirely. Sean Fischbach and the research team at NASA used the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to model chamber gas dynamics and the ... Per saperne di più
To design a lithium-ion battery that functions efficiently, engineers at Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are using multiphysics simulation to evaluate and prevent the formation of dendrites, which occurs when a current is applied to a lithium metal electrode in the battery. Per saperne di più
Electrostatic transducers offer enhanced clarity, less distortion, and a wider bandwidth than transducers in conventional dynamic-driver headphones, but they are only seen as high-end alternatives. The precise manufacturing requirements make electrostatic transducers prohibitively ... Per saperne di più
To improve the health of the Dommel river, an aeration unit has been added to the Eindhoven wastewater treatment plant to increase the oxygen level of the effluent before merging with the river. Before construction, a CFD model of a multiphase turbulent fluid flow was created to ... Per saperne di più
Aluminum is extracted through the Hall–Héroult process, during which it is removed from bauxite using green anodes. A PhD student at Delft University of Technology, in collaboration with Aluchemie, is studying the design of the anode baking process using numerical simulation. Per saperne di più
Designing power transmission lines requires accounting for many factors: mechanical stress due to environmental conditions and hardware loads, performance testing, and--of course--electrical analysis. Transmission line hardware contains both insulating and conducting assemblies. One ... Per saperne di più
Researchers at the Flemish Institute for Technical Research (VITO/EnergyVille) and KU Leuven developed a model of a semisolid flow battery (SSFB) to predict how flow rate affects particle discharge and how cell voltage changes during the discharge process. Per saperne di più
