Recent studies have been devoted to develop mathematical models to simulate the food processing using the porous media approach. The aim of this study is to simulate the microwave drying of osmodehydrated food by means of modeling the mass, energy and momentum transfer using the porous ... Read More

Analysis and Development of Koch Fractal Dipole Antennas

V. S. Wildner[1], M. G. Vanti[1]
[1]Regional University of Blumenau - FURB, Blumenau, SC, Brazil

Devices of mobile communication require smallest sizes of antennas. This is one of the applications of fractal antennas which have reduced size or are multiband and can be used for mobile phone, RFID, Wi-Fi, digital TV, among other applications. The Koch fractal geometry allows better ... Read More

Analysis of 1D, 2D, and 3D Marine CSEM in COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

E. C. Luz[1]
[1]Universidade Federal do Pará, Belém, PA, Brazil

The Marine Controlled Source ElectroMagnetic (marine CSEM) is a geophysical method used by the oil industry to investigate resistive targets in the sediments under the ocean floor. In this work we simulate marine CSEM data including 1D, 2.5D and 3D modeling. The results obtained with ... Read More

Simulations of Negative Curvature Hollow-core Fiber

J. Zhang[1], Z. Wang[1], J. Chen[1]
[1]College of Optoelectronic Science and Engineering, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, Hunan, China

COMSOL Multiphysics® software was used to simulate and analyze the transmission attenuation spectra of the negative curvature hollow-core fiber (NCHCF) over the wavelength from 2.7 μm to 4.2 μm. The effect of thickness of capillaries and the effect of the distance between the capillaries ... Read More
