At Abbott, Freddy Hansen uses multiphysics simulation to model left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) to improve the outlook and quality of life for patients with heart failure. Numerical simulations spanning fluid dynamics, power supply, and thermal management allow him to characterize ... Per saperne di più
Electrical engineering students find it hard to visualize the electromagnetics concepts they are learning. To remedy this issue, a professor at Virginia Commonwealth University built specialized simulation applications, distributing them to students as part of the lesson plan. Per saperne di più
ABB built a digital twin of an electromagnetic flowmeter to mimic an actual flowmeter in a virtual environment. The digital twin, based on multiphysics modeling, enables ABB to improve flowmeter designs and predict device performance under field conditions. Per saperne di più
Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) is created by surface plasmons, coherent electron oscillations existing between any two materials where the real part of the dielectric function changes sign across the interface. SPR technology is based on the electromagnetic field component of incident ... Per saperne di più
Built by engineers at General Atomics, the DIII-D tokamak needs to achieve temperatures that are 10 times hotter than the core of the Sun to achieve nuclear fusion. To accomplish this, a novel heating system using a helicon antenna that can inject 1 megawatt of RF power is being designed ... Per saperne di più

Radiation therapy targeting in cancer treatment involves many uncertainties, including the movement of targeted sites due to breathing and the like. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can accurately identify the location of a tumor in soft tissue, but unfortunately its magnetic field can ... Per saperne di più
High-power laser beam welding uses a localized heat source to achieve narrow deep welds and high welding rates. Engineers run into some difficulties because the use of a localized heat source often results in the distortion of metal components; spattering and the ejection of droplets ... Per saperne di più
To optimize a metasurface topology for an optical antenna design, an engineer from the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) is using an optimization algorithm inspired by natural selection, as well as multiphysics simulation. Per saperne di più
