Evaluation of Different Parallelization Strategies on a Cluster for Parametric Sweep in EC_NDT

L.Santandrea1
1Laboratoire de Génie ́ Electrique et ́ Electronique de Paris, CNRS, Gif sur Yvette, France

As part of its research, the Group of Electrical Engineering Paris (GeePs) uses the COMSOL Multiphysics® software for applications in an Electrical Engineering context. At present, a multitude of problems, such as artificial intelligence and the database generation that goes with it, ... Read More

Shielding of Magnetic Fields of an Electrical Substation

Sybrand Zeinstra1
1Demcon Multiphysics, Enschede, the Netherlands

Normally, power lines for electrical power distribution are shielded such that there is (almost) no magnetic field outside the cable. In a substation, these cables are connected to transformers via unshielded components such as switching boards and busbars. Thus, magnetic fields are ... Read More

Raytracing the Ionization Reference Gauge

Francesco Scuderi1, M.Wuest1
1Inficon Ag

In the framework of the EURAMET project 16NRM05, a novel ionization gauge was developed. The goal was to develop a more stable ionization gauge that could be suitable for standardization. The AC/DC Module and the Particle Tracing Module in COMSOL® have been used to design and model the ... Read More

Computational Modeling of Plasma Using Single-Fluid and Two-Fluid Modeling Approaches

Sai Likitha Siddanathi1, Lars-Goran Westerberg1, Hans O. Akerstedt 1, Henrik Wiinikka 2, Alexey Sepman2
1Luleå University of Technology
2RISE AB

Plasma, a complex fluid consisting of electrons, ions, neutrals, and excited species, exhibits both fluid-like behavior and electrical conductivity due to the presence of charge carriers. Consequently, computational modeling of plasma requires the integration of fluid and electrical ... Read More

Simulation of the Arc Motion in Low-Voltage Surge Protection Devices

Margarita Baeva1, Martin Hannig2, Ralf Methling1, Dirk Uhrlandt1, Diego Gonzalez1, Arnd Ehrhardt2
1Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology, Greifswald, Germany
2DEHN SE + Co KG, Neumarkt, Germany

Nowadays, surge protection devices are widely used in electrical grids to suppress over voltages during transient conditions caused by voltage surges and to prevent damages of industrial or household devices. The working principle is based on the initiation of an arc with a burning ... Read More

Uncertainty Quantification and Propagation in Multiphysics Modeling of the PVT Growth of SiC Crystal

1EMDPI, Jam Consulting, Grenoble, France
2ICPEES, UMR 7515 CNRS-University of Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France

Induction heating (IH) [1] is an electrically driven process useful for decarbonization of the industry. It can be used for electrification of chemical processes to replace traditional heating with gas burner and avoid CO2 emission. This kind of process can be used to heat efficiently ... Read More

Modeling of Droplet Charge Dynamics During an Ink Jet Breakup Using COMSOL Multiphysics®

M. Sturma1, A. Monlon2, P. Namy2, F. Viry2, B. Barbet1
1MARKEM-IMAJE, Bourg-lès-Valence (France)
2SIMTEC, Grenoble (France)

Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) printing technologies are widely used in the field of industrial coding and marking. These technologies are based on the emission of a high-speed jet of ink droplets (20 m/s) onto the surface of a moving medium. To maintain sufficient print quality, it is ... Read More

Optimizing Dielectrophoresis by Inducing Fluid Flow Using Droplet Oscillation
