Medical accelerators, in particular Cyclotrons, are used to accelerate charged particles to tens of Mega electron Volts (MeV) of energies. These high energy particles then used to produce isotopes for medical application such the system located at king Faisal Specialist Hospital and ... Read More

Multiphysics Simulation of a High Frequency Acoustic Microscope Lens

O. Tommiska [1], J. Mäkinen [1], J. Hyvönen [1], A. Meriläinen [1], A. Salmi [1], E. Hæggström [1],
[1] Department of Physics, Division of Materials Physics, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland

High frequency ultrasound (100-1000 MHz) has been used in microscopy since the 1970s. The main imaging component, the acoustic lens, is commercially available. The resolution, working distance, and focal length depend on the structure of a lens, which is unique for each produced lens. ... Read More

Using COMSOL Multiphysics® to Simulate Heat Exchanger Fouling by Heterogeneous Barite Crystallisation

F. Cazenave [1], F. Couture [1], P. Bernada [1], J-P. Serin [1],
[1] Univ Pau & Pays Adour/ E2S UPPA, Laboratoire de Thermique, Energetique et Procedes- IPRA, EA1932, Pau, France

Heat exchanger fouling is one of the biggest problems of industry. The induced loss of efficiency leads to oversizing and over-costs. In order to eliminate the fouling layer, maintenance operations are required. This study focus on the physicochemical and hydrodynamic mechanisms ... Read More

Inertial Manipulation of Bubbles in Rectangular Microfluidic Channels
