Solidification of a Liquid Metal Droplet Impinging on a Cold Surface

Tanai L. Marin,
Faculty of Physics and Mathematics Sciences,
Department of Mining Engineering,
University of Chile,
Santiago, Chile

A method for the solidification of a free surface liquid phase is presented and solved with COMSOL Multiphysiscs using a fixed grid.

In this case, the Level set method with phase re-injection for mass conservation is used to prescribe the movement of the free surface of the liquid...

Ultrasound Propagation in Viscoelastic Material Guides

Castaings, M.1, Predoi, M.V.2, Hosten, B.1 1 Laboratoire Mécanique Physique, Univ. Bordeaux 1, UMR CNRS 5469, Talence, France
2 Catedra de Mecanica, Universitatea Politehnica Bucuresti, Bucuresti, Romania

Wave propagation in elastic waveguides is a problem of constant interest from the last decades. Several numerical approaches exist. The most intuitive uses time-marching routines that solve the equations of dynamic equilibrium and supply displacements of the structure nodes as time functions. This...

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

Finite Element Models for the Solution of Underwater Acoustics Problems

Zampolli, M., Tesei, A., Jensen, F.B.
NATO Undersea Research Centre, 19138 La Spezia, Italy

Acoustic waves are used in SONAR systems for the detection and classification of objects which may be swimming in the water column, proud on the seafloor, or buried below the sediment. In some applications, such as low frequency detection and classification of structurally complex objects immersed...

Level Set Method for Fully Thermal-Mechanical Coupled Simulations of Filling in Injection and Micro-Injection Molding Process

3INSA de Lyon, Site de Plasturgie, Bellignat, France

In this work we tackle a more theoretical aspect of micro-injection molding, to better understand physics during the process, through numerical simulations of cavity filling. We developed a two phase flow approach by...

Mapping Local Cavitation Events in High Intensity Ultrasound Fields

2 Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

The linear acoustic pressure field is obtained by solving the homogenous Helmholtz equation using COMSOL Multiphysics. The pressure field is used to calculate the collapse pressure of the transient cavitation bubbles by using the cavity cluster approach. The regions where the local pressure...

Simulation of Electromagnetic Shielding in the COMSOL Multiphysics Environment

J. Cuntala
Department of Mechatronics and Electronics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Žilina

The paper presents results of energy radiation from a point source, which is situated in a metal case with a quadrangular opening. The opening is shielded with a transparent metal grid to prevent the leakage of electromagnetic field. The cases with and without the grid are simulated.
