Atmospheric-pressure plasma jets (APPJ) are devices that generate chemically reactive species and operate at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature for a wide range of applications. Plasmas jets produce charged particles (electrons and ions), neutral metastable species, radicals, ... Read More

Modeling Joule-Thomson Effect with COMSOL Multiphysics®

Cristina Garcia Albela1
1ASML, Netherlands

Joule-Thomson effect describes a change of temperature in a fluid due to a sudden change of pressure under adiabatic conditions. The aim of this study is to reproduce Joule-Thomson effect when an incompressible gas flows through a narrow pipe connecting two tanks at different pressures. ... Read More

Modeling of the keyhole asymmetry in dissimilar laser welding

I. Tomashchuk1, J.-M. Jouvard1, P. Sallamand1, M. Duband1
1Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne, France

An auto-consistent multiphysical 3D model with strong coupling between Heat Transfer, Navier Stokes and ALE problems is proposed for the description of transient development of the keyhole and the melted zone in laser welding of metallic materials. It showed a satisfactory correspondence ... Read More

Optimization of Microfabricated 2D Planar Spiral Microcoils for the Micro NDT of Grinding Burn

2Physics Department, College of Science, Jouf University, Saudi Arabia

A lateral observation of laser-induced keyhole through the quartz window is an easy and cheap experimental method. It opens an interesting perspective for the study of keyhole asymmetry in case of dissimilar metal combinations. To quantify the effect of quartz window on the observed ... Read More

Development of Simulation Model for Pyroclastic Flows using COMSOL Multiphysics®

M. Iacuaniello1, A. Montanino1, D. De Gregorio1, G. Zuccaro1
1Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Italy

The experience of the eruption in Montserrat in 1997 has shown that the resistance of openings of buildings represents a crucial factor in the evaluation of vulnerability to the stresses caused by pyroclastic flows, although the static nature of the building itself is not compromised. ...

1University of Pannonia, Veszprém, Hungary
2INSA de Rouen, Saint Etienne du Rouvray France

The transition to sustainable production includes the reduction of fossil material usage. Vegetable oil can be used as a reagent to form polyurethane by epoxidation through three major reaction steps, epoxidation, carbonation, and aminolysis. Many attempts have been made to model these ... Read More
