Modeling Self-Potential Effects during Reservoir Stimulation in Enhanced Geothermal System
Geothermal systems represent a large resource that can provide, with a reasonable investment, a very high and cost-effective power generating capacity. Despite its unquestionable potential, geothermal exploitation has long been perceived as limited, mainly because of the dependence from ... Read More
Stresses Due to Intercalation of Non-Spherical Lithium Storage Particles
Due to computational considerations most models of lithium storage particles in batteries incorporate spherical particles. However most storage particles used in battery electrodes tend to be irregular in shape with sharp edges and extended aspect ratios. The change of the relative ... Read More
Numerical Simulation of the Lithium-Ion Battery Cell Discharge Characteristics
In general battery cells are charged/discharged using constant current or constant power expressed as C-Rates and P-Rates respectively. We are developing a single cell-level Li-Ion battery model in order to simulate the performance and the physicochemical phenomena under power ... Read More
Thermal Battery Cell Modeling in a Spirally-Wound Geometry
The characterization of Li-ion batteries is a relevant topic due to the recent developments in Electric Vehicles (EV’s) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV’s) applications. In order to manage these devices, accurate models are required. At NEXT ENERGY a two dimensional cell-level thermal ... Read More
Bridging the Complexity Gap in Modern Engineering Education with COMSOL Multiphysics® Software
Multiphysics simulations play an important role in researchanddevelopment in almost all disciplines. Therefore it is necessary to teach them at the universities to provide the industry with well-trained graduate students. In our lectures about the finite element method we use a simple ... Read More
Investigating the Performance of Mechanically Ventilated Double-Skin Facades with Solar Control Devices in the Main Cavity
The use of ventilated facades may reduce the cooling and heating energy demands of the building. Double-skin facades (DSFs) belong to the wider group of ventilated facades and currently represent one of the most interesting and studied facade systems. The purpose of this study is to ... Read More
Design and Simulation of an Orbiting Piezoelectric MEMS Gyroscope Based on Detection of Phase-Shift Signals
The feasibility of phase-sensitive detection of angular-rates using bi-directional orbiting piezoresonators suspended by thick annular springs with thin-film aluminium nitride piezoactuators on top of them was investigated. The ring-shaped flexures are more suitable for supporting the ... Read More
Optimization of Micro-Structured Waveguides in Lithium Niobate (Z-Cut)
We present an optimization procedure to improve the propagation properties of the depressed-cladding, buried micro-structured waveguides formed in a z-cut lithium niobate (LN) crystal by high repetition rate femtosecond (fs) laser writing. It is shown that the propagation wavelength ... Read More
Simulation of Piezoelectric Nanofibers for Harvesting Energy Applications
In this work, we have taken a model which is simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics®. It was used as a tool to design, characterize and to simulate an example which is nanofibers based piezoelectric energy generators. The results are compared with other available sources but using with ... Read More
Simulation of Bio-medical Waveguide in Mechanical and Optical fields
This paper presents a freestanding waveguide to achieve the goal of detecting anastomosis leakage after colon surgery. The freestanding part is a thin membrane consisting of TiO2 rib and SiN ridge. This freestanding waveguide is designed both mechanically and optically to maintain ... Read More
