  • Development of a Coupling Approach for Multi-Physics Analyses of Fusion Reactors
    Development of a coupling approach for multi-physics analyses of fusion reactors Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Ingenieurwissenschaften (Dr.-Ing.) bei der Fakultat¨ fur¨ Maschinenbau des Karlsruher Instituts fur¨ Technologie (KIT) genehmigte DISSERTATION von Yuefeng Qiu Datum der mundlichen¨ Prufung:¨ 12. 05. 2016 Referent: Prof. Dr. Stieglitz Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Moslang¨ This document is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution – Share Alike 3.0 DE License (CC BY-SA 3.0 DE): http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/ Abstract Fusion reactors are complex systems which are built of many complex components and sub-systems with irregular geometries. Their design involves many interdependent multi- physics problems which require coupled neutronic, thermal hydraulic (TH) and structural mechanical (SM) analyses. In this work, an integrated system has been developed to achieve coupled multi-physics analyses of complex fusion reactor systems. An advanced Monte Carlo (MC) modeling approach has been first developed for converting complex models to MC models with hybrid constructive solid and unstructured mesh geometries. A Tessellation-Tetrahedralization approach has been proposed for generating accurate and efficient unstructured meshes for describing MC models. For coupled multi-physics analyses, a high-fidelity coupling approach has been developed for the physical conservative data mapping from MC meshes to TH and SM meshes. Interfaces have been implemented for the MC codes MCNP5/6, TRIPOLI-4 and Geant4, the CFD codes CFX and Fluent, and the FE analysis platform ANSYS Workbench. Furthermore, these approaches have been implemented and integrated into the SALOME simulation platform. Therefore, a coupling system has been developed, which covers the entire analysis cycle of CAD design, neutronic, TH and SM analyses.

  • Computational Study of Triboelectric Generator Design
    Rhode Island College Digital Commons @ RIC Honors Projects Overview Honors Projects 2020 Computational Study of Triboelectric Generator Design Giovanni Barbosa Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.ric.edu/honors_projects COMPUTATIONAL STUDY OF TRIBOELECTRIC GENERATOR DESIGN By Giovannia Barbosa An Honors Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Honors In The Department of Physical Sciences Faculty of Arts and Sciences Rhode Island College 2020 2 Abstract: As the world population increases and technology becomes accessible to more people, there is an increased demand for energy. Researchers are seeking innovative forms of harvesting sustainable energy with minimal environmental impact. The triboelectric effect is a form of contact electrification in which a charge is generated after two materials are separated. In 2012, the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) emerged as a new flexible power source which can extract energy from small ambient movements. In this study, we use a software tool known as COMSOL to conduct Finite Element Analysis of Triboelectric Generators (TEGs). One aspect we study is the enhancement of TEG efficiency by the inclusion of high dielectric constant (high-k) materials. We show that the orientation of inclusions matter: high-k dielectric inclusions with a vertical orientation display greater overall TEG performance in comparison to those with a horizontal alignment. A design where a piezoelectric material is included in the triboelectric polymer is also explored. Although

  • Educational Electronic Course ”Theory of the Electromagnetic Field” on the Basis of the Program Complex COMSOL Multiphysic
    Educational electronic course ”Theory of the electromagnetic field” on the basis of the program complex COMSOL Multiphysics Dudnikov Evgeny, Institute of Control Problem, Moscow, Russia [email protected] Shmelev Vjacheslav, Vladimir State Technical University, Vladimir, Russia [email protected] Walden Bertil, COMSOL AB, Stockholm, Sweden [email protected] Abstract In the submitted paper the educational electronic course «Theory of the electromagnetic field» which uses the basic tools of the program complex COMSOL Multiphysics is considered. A basis of this electronic course is the standard course of lectures «Theory of the electromagnetic field» usually presented to the students who are studying the electrotechnical specialities in the Russian technical universities. The contents of the course includes five sections (General problems of the theory of the electromagnetic field (EMF), the Electrostatic field, the Electric field of a direct current in conducting medium, the Magnetostatic field and the Variable harmonic EMF). We have not include in structure of the course the section “The EMF in moving mediums” because this section usually does not a part of the standard student’s course for these specialities. A great number of exercises and demonstration examples which need to show, how with help of COMSOL Multiphysics it is possible to solve the various problems of the EMF theory, is entered into the course. Among the used tools of COMSOL Multiphysics there are the COMSOL Script, the PDE Modes, the Electromagnetics applications modes of COMSOL Multiphysics nucleus and the Module of electromagnetism. Examples and exercises will allow students to acquire better knowledge from the submitted materials and to receive very important skills of work with modern toolkits for modeling and solving various problems of EMF.

  • Magnetostatic Modeling for Microfluidic Device Design
    Magnetostatic Modeling for Microfluidic Device Design A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering By Kirsten Marie Jackson June 2011 © 2011 Kirsten Marie Jackson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Committee Approval TITLE: Magnetostatic Modeling for Microfluidic Device Design AUTHOR: Kirsten Marie Jackson DATE SUBMITTED: June 2011 COMMITTEE CHAIR: David Clague, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering COMMITTEE MEMBER: Dan Walsh, Professor of Biomedical Engineering COMMITTEE MEMBER: Scott Hazelwood, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering iii Abstract Magnetostatic Modeling for Microfluidic Device Design Kirsten Marie Jackson For several years, biologists have used superparamagnetic beads to facilitate biological separations. More recently, researchers have adopted this approach in microfluidic devices [1- 3]. This recent development and use of superparamagnetic particles in biomedical and biological applications have resulted in a necessity for methods that enable the understanding and prediction of their properties and actions during use. Typically, such methods would involve simple experimentation prior to in vitro experimentation, animal testing, and finally clinical testing. To better understand and unleash this technology, COMSOL®, which is a finite element analysis and multiphysics simulation software, has recently been used to model superparamagnetic particles in several applications. Two COMSOL® models were created based on a magnetic trapping system consisting of a stationary permanent magnet and a microfluidics channel. The first model, known as the Particle Motion Model, simulates the movement of an individual superparamagnetic particle flowing through a fluidic channel beneath a permanent magnet by coupling the Moving Mesh Arbitrary Lagrange-Eulerian (ALE), Incompressible Navier-Stokes, Plane Strain, and Magnetostatics physics modes.

  • Electric Field of a Charged Sphere
    Electric Field of a Charged Sphere Introduction COMSOL Multiphysics is a finite element package that can be used to solve a partial differential equation such as for example Poisson’s equation as we discussed in EMT. For a scalar field (r) Poisson’s equation looks like: 2 f (r) [1] f(r) represents a density of field sources and depends on the position vector r. Our version of COMSOL can solve one, two, or three dimensional problems. Poisson’s equation is a partial differential equation and can be solved for some geometries by analytical techniques. In EMT and also in mechanics you might have studied already solutions of Poisson’s equation for various geometries that have high symmetry. More complex problems can be solved by a computer. Note that the differential equation relates the 2nd derivative of the field to the source field f. In Cartesian coordinates the one-dimensional Poisson equation becomes: 2 (x) f x [2] x2 Note that the special case where f(x) is equal to zero turns equation (2) into Laplace’s equation, i.e. 2 x 0 [2b] x 2 The two most frequently used numerical methods to solve Poisson’s or Laplace’s equation are: 1. The finite difference method 2. The finite element method Comsol Multiphysics, uses the finite element method. Minimum Energy Principles in Electrostatics. It can be shown that Laplace’s and Poisson’s equation are satisfied when the total energy in the solution’s area is minimized. This section will make this statement plausible for both cases. To keep the math simple we will restrict ourselves here to the one-dimensional case.
