On the Use of COMSOL Multiphysics to Understand and Optimize the Filling Phase in the Injection and Micro-Injection Molding Process

M. Moguedet1, P. Namy2, and Y. Béreaux3
1Pôle Européen de Plasturgie, Bellignat, France
2SIMTEC, Grenoble, France
3LAMCOS, Site de Plasturgie, INSA Lyon, Bellignat, France

The work presented here deals with the simulation of the cavity filling stage of the injection and micro-injection molding process for thermoplastic materials.

COMSOL Multiphysics gives us the means to take into consideration some other aspects usually neglected in commercial 3D softwares...

Elastic Properties of Woven Composite

P. Vozková, and J. Salacová
Technical University of Liberec, Czech Republic

Structure modelling and properties evaluation require high level modelling. In this paper, we demonstrate a composite made up of E-glass reinforcement and epoxy matrix. Both materials were assumed to be isotropic.

Modeling the Coupled Heat and Mass Transfer during Fires in Stored Biomass, Coal and Recycling Deposits

F. Ferrero, M. Malow, A. Berger, and U. Krause
Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und prüfung (BAM), Berlin, Germany

In this paper, advances in the development of a numerical model for predicting the possibility of self-ignition in stored biomass, coal heaps or underground seams and dump deposits are presented.

Results from the performed simulations are compared with experimental data. Finally, some...

The Simulation of Pore Scale Fluid Flow with Real World Geometries Obtained from X-Ray Computed Tomography

W. Fourie1, R. Said2, P. Young3, and D. L. Barnes1
1Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Water
and Environmental Research Center, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, AK, USA
2Simpleware, Ltd. Exeter, UK
3Computer Science and Mathematics, School of Engineering, University of Exeter, Exeter, UK

With the recent improvement of X-ray Computed Tomography and robust modeling tools, it is now possible to show that pore scale fluid flow modeled by the Navier-Stokes equation can be used to derive macro parameters of Darcy’s Law, such as the hydraulic conductivity.

The model allows...

Modeling of the Quantum Well and Cascade Semiconductor Lasers using 8-Band Schrödinger and Poisson Equation System

M. V. Kisin
Electrical Engineering, State University of New York, Stony Brook, NY, USA

An eight-band quantum mechanical model of the electron and hole energy spectrum, in nanoscale semiconductor heterostructures with phenomenological boundary conditions for the charge carrier multicomponent effective wave function at the heterostructure interfaces, has been formulated using...

Vibration Analysis - Gullfaks C Knock Out Drum

S. Sandström

An eigenvalue as well as a harmonic response analysis is performed on the Gullfaks C, Knock Out Drum (KOD) including some of the connecting pipe systems. The vibration behavior of two new choke valves and their specific connection to the KOD are of special interest. The main concern is the low...

Finite Element Approach to Microwave Sintering of Oxide Materials

Y. Duan, D. C. Sorescu, and J. K. Johnson

Microwave sintering has been applied to a wide variety of, and recent experimental results have showed that for semi-metal or magnetic materials, the magnetic field (H) can have a significantly larger contribution than the electric field (E) during sintering. We have employed COMSOL...

Numerical Study of the Aeroelasticity of Sails

A. Leone, and L. Teresi
Università “Roma Tre”, Roma

The aim of our paper is to present a simple, yet reliable, method for parametric sail design under many different upwind sailing conditions. By using the script language, we can generate a family of sail shapes, and then investigate both aerodynamics and structural issues. We implement our...

Simulation of a One-Port SAW Resonator using COMSOL Multiphysics

R. Krishnan, H.B. Nemade, and R. Paily
Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati

In this paper, we discuss simulation of one-port Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) resonators using COMSOL Multiphysics. Resonator action can be achieved in one of the two ways; a single Inter-digital Transducer (IDT) having several fingers over a piezoelectric substrate or a short IDT with...

Numerical Simulation of an Induction Stirred Ladle

M. Pal1, S. Kholmatov2 and P. Jönsson2
1Centre-University of Wales, Swansea
2Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden

In this paper a simulation model of a laboratory scaled induction ladle is presented. The simulation model so developed will make it feasible to receive information about the fluid flow phenomenon and thermal heat transfer. In order to perform the numerical simulation of the furnace, physical...
