Pumping liquids at small scales is challenging because of the principle of reversibility: in a viscous regime, the flow streamlines through a fixed geometry are the same regardless of flow direction. Recently we developed a class of microfluidic pump designs based on tilted flexible ... 詳細を見る

We present an optimization procedure to optimize the maximum coupling of free space optical wave to surface plasmon. Shape derivative from shape sensitivity analysis is calculated, and the corresponding partial derivatives of the objective functional with respect to finite number of ... 詳細を見る

In this paper, the effect of a crack to the flow-induced vibration characteristics of supported pipes is investigated based on vibration method. In order to estimate the crack location and depth in the pipe, we need to utilize the variation of the difference between the natural ... 詳細を見る

This work is aimed to demonstrate how variation of geometries' parameters would affect the fluid loading effect in water using COMSOL Multiphysics and compared with analytical data. When a structure is placed in water, the interaction between the water and the structure plays an ... 詳細を見る

In this study, COMSOL Multiphysics is applied in order to simulate reacting flows for duct burner systems arranged in the post-firing section of a Heat Recovery Steam Generator of a combined cycle power plant. Two- and three-dimensional simulations are carried out in order to ... 詳細を見る

This paper is an investigation into the effect of blood vessel movement on measurement accuracy of blood flow rate using magnetic flow meters. The investigation used a Finite Element model of the magnetic flowmeter built using COMSOL Multiphysics® software by integrating the modules of ... 詳細を見る

The vestibular systems are very important to balance of body. But some people have vertigo and dizziness caused by vestibular disorder. It is well known how the symptom appears physiologically. The benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) which comes from moving an otolith in ... 詳細を見る

An external magnetic field imposed on a ferrofluid with a temperature gradient, results in a non-uniform magnetic body force, which leads to a form of heat transfer called thermomagnetic convection. A magnet placed near the device will always attract the colder ferrofluid more than ... 詳細を見る

Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary field, basically it designs systems to handle small volumes of fluids. Most applications require a pumping action in order to move the fluid trough the system. For most of them a micro scale active pump is highly desirable. A piezoelectric micropump ... 詳細を見る

Bioresorbable stents are providing temporary mechanical support to keep a narrowed or blocked coronary artery open and restore the blood flow and will be gradually degraded and resorbed after the healing and remodeling of arterial wall. This new generation of stents has lower rates of ... 詳細を見る
