Assessing COMSOL Performances on Typical Problems Faced by Turbo-Generator Manufacturers

E.A. Badea[1], J. Oesterheld[1], S. Friedel[2], M. Olsson[3]
[1]Alstom Schweiz, Birr, Switzerland
[2]COMSOL, Zürich, Switzerland
[3]COMSOL, Stockholm, Sweden

Multiphysics processes manifest in turbo-generators due to the leakage electromagnetic field of the stator and rotor end winding and its associated effects at machine frontal end. Such processes are a compilation of coupled phenomena having different electromagnetic, thermal, fluid flow ... Read More

Study of Electromagnetic Shielding, a Comparison between Experiment and FEM Simulation

G. Sun [1], C. De Blasiis [1], O. Sekula [1], P. Corsaro [1],
[1] Brugg Kabel AG, Brugg, Switzerland

The loaded underground high voltage cable generates magnetic field with industrial frequency. Depending on the current rating and cable allocation, the magnetic exposure to public area may exceed the requested limit from customer. Extra shielding should then be applied. A primary FEM ... Read More

Dynamic Simulation of a Coaxial Magnetic Gear Using Global ODE's and the Rotating Machinery, Magnetic Interface

M. Ostroushko [1], W. Zhang [1], W. M. Rucker [1],
[1] Institute of Theory of Electrical Engineering, University of Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany

The coaxial magnetic gear is a good alternative to classic mechanical gears. The magnetic gear has high mechanical durability, overload protection and lower noise, than a mechanical gear [1,2]. A static model of a magnetic gear [3,4] is used for simulation of the magnetic fields and ... Read More

Experimental Investigations and Numerical Simulation of Electrothermally Actuated Micro-gripper

B. K. S. Kishor[1], T. Ramesh [1],
[1] NIT Trichy, Tiruchirappalli Tamil Nadu, India.

At the micron-level, thermal actuation exerts larger forces compared to the widely-used electrostatic actuation. To obtain large displacements at low voltage the principle of Electro Thermal actuation is used. It works on the principle of selective non-uniform Joule heating which results ... Read More

[1] 四川大学，成都，四川，中国

引言：微波干燥过程涉及多物理场的耦合，物理过程十分复杂。不仅有被加热物质的形态改变，还有气态、液态和固态三相的相互作用。为了更清楚地理解微波干燥过程，本模型将电磁场、多相流和物理变形用相应的方程耦合到一起建模分析，并用相应的物理参数表征微波干燥过程。（图1） COMSOL Multiphysics® 的使用：借鉴微波加热接口土豆模型，添加气体和固体传热接口以及自定义方程，用方程和参数实现多物理场耦合。实验模型中，干燥物为土豆，且被视为多孔弹性介质。物质变形用相应的矩阵来表征。结果：在仿真结果的基础上，利用家用微波炉干燥土豆，设计实验 ... Read More

Temperature Distribution in High Voltage Dummy Cable

G.Y. Sun[1], O. Sekula[1], and C. Albanbauer[1]
[1]Brugg Kabel AG, Brugg, Switzerland

A 2D model of coupled electricthermal application is used to calculate the temperature distribution in a high voltage dummy cable laid in free air, where no high voltage is applied. Resistive loss heats the cable while the surrounding air cools it down. The steady-state condition is ... Read More

Effect of a High Frequency Field on the Electric Double Layer Surrounding a Biomolecule in a Fluid new

M. Riou[1], C. Maedler[1], S. Erramilli[1], P. Mohanty[1]
[1]Boston University, Boston, MA, USA

Biosensors based on silicon nanowires are of great interest for ultrasensitive biomolecular recognition of disease specific markers for early stage diagnosis [1]. However, there are limitations on the performance of these nanosensors in solutions at high ionic strength. This is because ... Read More
