This tutorial uses a 2D model of an acoustically driven microfluidic pump. The acoustic microfluidic pump is driven by acoustic streaming originating from sharp edges in the microfluidic channel. It drives a flow around a closed microfluidic channel loop. The acoustic field is modeled ... 詳細を見る

This example shows how to set up a glacier flow model in principle, containing several important aspects of glacier modeling: The creation of the 2D geometry, the modeling of non-Newtonian flow, and the implementation of basal sliding. In this example, two different glacier types, a cold ... 詳細を見る

Using a Fluid-Solid Interaction multiphysics interface, the behavior of a spring-loaded ball check valve is studied under varying functional and reverse flow. The fluid force acting on the ball opens the valve at the opening pressure. In the case of a reversed pressure, the ball comes ... 詳細を見る

An important step in brewing beer is the fermentation process. Here, alcohol is formed together with various flavor substances from sugars in the presence of yeast. The initial sugar content, temperature, and yeast type dictate how the fermentation proceeds. In this example, the ... 詳細を見る

At the macroscopic level, systems usually mix fluids using mechanical actuators or turbulent 3D flow. At the microscale level, however, neither of these approaches is practical or even possible. This model demonstrates the mixing of fluids using laminar-layered flow in a MEMS mixer. This ... 詳細を見る

This example was originally formulated by Albert Witarsa under Professor Bruce Finlayson’s supervision at the University of Washington in Seattle. It was part of a graduate course in which the assignment consisted of evaluating the potential of patents in the field of microfluidics ... 詳細を見る

The development of mixers does often not only have to account for effectiveness, but also other factors must be involved, such as cost and complexity for manufacturing. The three models study a laminar static micro mixer with two parallel sets of split-reshape-recombine mixing elements. ... 詳細を見る

この例では, 容器内に沈められた加熱チューブの配列と, その底部から流体が流入する様子について説明します. これは, 熱伝達と結合した流体力学を含むため, マルチフィジックスモデルです. 圧力と速度場はナビエ・ストークス方程式の解であり, 温度は熱方程式を通じて解かれます. このモデルでは, 方程式は両方向に結合されています. 流体を持ち上げる浮力は, 密度を通じて温度に依存する力項を介して圧縮性ナビエ・ストークス方程式に入力されます. 同時に, 熱方程式は対流熱伝達を考慮します. この実装では, ... 詳細を見る

This tutorial model solves the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a backstep geometry using the Laminar Flow interface. A characteristic feature of fluid flow in geometries of this kind is the recirculation region that forms where the flow exits the narrow inlet region. The model ... 詳細を見る

This example performs a topological optimization for a Tesla microvalve for an oscillating pressure drop. A Tesla microvalve inhibits backward flow using friction forces rather than moving parts, and therefore the objective is to maximize the average flow rate. The design can be ... 詳細を見る
