Modeling Time-Dependent, Rigid-Body Motion of a Microswimmer

A. F. Tabak [1], G. Amador [1], M. Sitti [1],
[1] Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Stuttgart, Germany

The thermocapillary effect is widely used in microfluidic applications for sensing and actuation and can also be used to generate rigid-body motion. Furthermore, it is possible to cast Marangoni flows to achieve controllable rigid-body motion in 3D space. To this effect, here we present ... Read More

Implementation of a Porous Media Model for Simulating Pressure Development in Heated Concrete

B. Weber [1], D. Dauti [2], S. Dal Pont [2],
[1] Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, Dübendorf, Switzerland
[2] Laboratoire 3SR, University Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble, France

When concrete is subjected to high temperature, capillary water evaporates and chemically bound water is released due to dehydration. This results in an increase of pore pressure, which is believed to be one of the mechanisms leading to spalling. Spalling of concrete is of high concern ... Read More

Hygrothermal Modeling: A Numerical and Experimental Study on Drying

M. Bianchi Janetti [1], F. Ochs [1], L. P. M. Colombo [2]
[1] University of Innsbruck, Unit for Energy Efficient Buildings, Innsbruck, Austria
[2] Dipartimento di Energia, Politecnico di Milano, via Lambruschini 4, 20156 Milan, Italy

A model for coupled heat and mass transfer in porous, capillary-active materials is validated against experimental data obtained by drying calcium silicate specimens. The accuracy of the numerical solution is qualitatively investigated by considering mass conservation for a set of ... Read More

Implementation of a Thermo-Hydrodynamic Model to Predict the Morton Effect

M. Antonini [1], D. Fausti [1], M. Mor [1],
[1] PoliBrixia s.r.l., Brescia, Italy

In this paper, the "Morton Effect" is analyzed. This phenomenon is a particular kind of rotor instability due to non-uniform journal bearing heating. In this paper, an overview of the previous works has been done. After this preliminary study, a specific approach suggested by the ... Read More

An Application Built with the COMSOL Multiphysics® Software for Managing Computational Sequences in Thermal Fluid Applications

G. Petrone [1], C. Barbagallo [1],
[1] BE CAE & Test, Catania, Italy

An app built with the COMSOL Multiphysics® software allows both expert and beginner users to carry out parametric simulations thanks to flexible and user-friendly customized interfaces. Many people, with or without expertise in numerical analysis, can now access, exploit and share ... Read More

Numerical Analysis of Radiant Heat Emission Systems

F. Ochs [1], M. Magni [2], M. Bianchi Janetti [1],
[1] University of Innsbruck, Unit for Energy Efficient Buildings, Innsbruck, Austria
[2] University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy

Radiant heating generally addresses all heat emission systems having a share of radiant heat emission greater than 50%, compared to a convector or fan coil where the heat is transferred mainly by means of convection. Recently, so-called infrared-heating systems are discussed as a cost ... Read More

Determination of the Load-dependent Thermal Conductivity of Porous Adsorbents

O. Kraft [1], J. Gaiser [1], M. Stripf [1],
[1] University of Applied Sciences, Karlsruhe, Baden-Würtemberg, Germany

Standard measuring techniques for thermal conductivity cannot be readily applied to determine the load-dependent thermal conductivity of porous adsorbents, because the local ad- and desorption inside the specimen and the thickness of the specimen are not considered. Hence, in this work a ... Read More

Melt Homogenization Improvement By Optimizing the Rotation Profile

J. Petit [1], V. Tabouret [1], B. Viana [2],
[1] ONERA, Chatillon, France
[2] IRCP/CNRS, Paris, France

During the last decades, mid-IR (3-12µm) laser sources have attracted attention due to their potential applications in different fields like infrared counter-measures (e.g: missile jamming) and remote chemical sensing. In this context, Onera has been working on the development of non ... Read More

HAMSTAD Benchmarks Using the COMSOL Multiphysics® Software Revisited

J. v. Schijndel [1], S. Goesten [1], H. Schellen [1],
[1] Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, Netherlands

Benchmarks are important tools to verify computational models. In the research area of building physics, the so-called HAMSTAD (Heat, Air and Moisture STAnDardization) project is a very well known benchmark for the testing of simulation tools. In this paper we revisit this benchmark by ... Read More

3-Dimensional Numerical Modeling of Radio Frequency Selective Heating of Insects In Soybeans

S. Wang [1], Z. Huang [1],
[1] Northwest A&F University, Yangling, Shaanxi, China

Radio frequency (RF) heating have potential as alternatives to chemical fumigation for disinfesting legumes. This study was conducted to investigate the feasibility of RF selective heating of insect larvae in 3 kg soybeans packed in a rectangular plastic container using a 6 kW, 27.12 MHz ... Read More
