Bio-Signal Waveform Analysis & Simulation Findings

This example computes the effectiveness of a porous microchannel heat sink over a conventional microchannel heat sink. The model is fully parameterized. A parameter study on the thickness of the porous substrate is used to determine the optimal configuration.

Resin is injected into a preform consisting of different composites with different anisotropic permeabilities. Read More This example illustrates how to model the transport of different contaminants through a ceramic water filter candle with an activated carbon core. These types of water filters can be found in table top gravity filters, as well as attached to the faucet or as part of a larger reverse ... Read More Modeling flow through realistic porous structures is difficult due to the complexity of the structure itself. Often, resolving the flow field in detail is not feasible; therefore, a macroscopic description of the pore scale structure, which utilize averaged quantities such as porosity ... Read More Figure 2: Diagnostic Medical Waveform & Bio-Potential Clinical Trace for Comsol Porous Media Tissue This example is a benchmark problem for simulating phase change in porous media. It studies the melting process of an ice inclusion within porous media and therefore demonstrates how to couple Darcy's Law with the Heat Transfer in Porous Media interface including phase change. Read More This example introduces three different models for a lateral flow assay for the detection of coronavirus antibodies. These models are as follows: 3D model for studying possible symmetries in the spreading of the liquid sample in the test strip. The 3D model shows that the flow is ... Read More This 2D stationary model computes heat and moisture transport in a wall composed of different hygroscopic materials. A comparison with the Glaser method is given for the temperature and relative humidity solutions. The effect of the use of a vapor barrier is also investigated. Read More Figure 3: Diagnostic Medical Waveform & Bio-Potential Clinical Trace for Comsol Porous Media Tissue This example shows how to estimate the permeability of a porous material by creating a detailed fluid flow model in a small unit cell. The result of the model is a lumped permeability of the material, which can be used in homogenized models using Darcy's law or the Brinkman equations. ... Read More This example treats the modeling of sub-surface flow where free convection in porous media is analyzed. The results are compared with published literature in the field. The model couples the momentum balance to an energy balance through an equation, dependent on temperature, being ... Read More This example demonstrate two-phase flow in a porous medium which contains a low permeable lens. The heavier phase infiltrates the porous medium, so the low permeable lens is infiltrated only when a critical saturation at the outside is reached.
