Investigation of Blade Profiles of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine by Numerical Simulation

S. Yoshioka[1]
[1]Ritsumeikan University, Kusatsu City, Shiga, Japan

There are two types of vertical axis wind turbine, drag-type and lift-type. Drag type wind turbine can rotate in low speed wind condition, although its rotation speed is low. Lift type wind turbine can rotate at higher speed, although it works only in high speed wind condition. This ... Read More

Design of Microfluidic Device for Cellular Experiment Under Controlled Oxygen Tension

K. Funamoto[1], I.K. Zervantonakis[2], R.D. Kamm[2]
[1]Tohoku University, Sendai City, Miyagi, Japan
[2]Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Numerical simulation of oxygen tension was performed to develop a microfluidic device for three-dimensional real-time observation of cellular response under hypoxia. The optimal experimental condition was obtained through investigations of effects of parameters, such as device thickness ... Read More

Dynamic Electromagnetic Analysis of Guitar Pickup Aided by COMSOL Multiphysics

T. Furukawa[1], H. Tanaka[2], H. Itoh[1], H. Fukumoto[1], M. Ohchi[2]
[1]Saga University, Saga City, Saga, Japan
[2]Chiba Institute of Technology

In transient analyses of electromagnetic fields with moving media, it is difficult to grasp the phenomena theoretically in the same manner of the convective heat diffusion since the treatment of the coupled problem with the field and dynamics must be necessary. In this presentation, we ... Read More

Study on Electromagnetic Waves in the Terahertz Region Using COMSOL Multiphysics

T. Nishida[1]

Electromagnetic waves in the terahertz (THz) region may be useful for non-destructive imaging and biosensing technology. This presentation shows the example of our research aimed at the development of application in the THz region. The result of comparing the FDTD method and COMSOL ... Read More

Visible Spectral Reflectance Analysis in a Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) Multilayer with COMSOL Multiphysics

Y. Oshikane[1], K. Murai[1]
[1]Osaka University, Suita City, Osaka, Japan

We are developing a reflective metal-insulator-metal (MIM) filter with narrow band absorption. In the MIM structure, the interaction between subwavelength multilayer and visible light, and the resultant surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in specific illumination conditions must be ... Read More

Electric Field Analysis of a Green Rust Surface Treatment Tank for High/Super Alloys

H.K. Yang[1], S.C. Tseng[1]
[1]Institute of Mechanical Engineering, National Yunlin University of Science Technology, Taiwan

In order to perform rust surface treatment for stainless wires, we proposed an electrolyzing equipment to do so. It has the following advantages: safer, cheaper and less environmental pollution. To study the performance of the electrolyzing process, numerical simulation for electric ... Read More

Lithography-Patterning-Fidelity-Aware Electron-Optical System Design Optimization by Using COMSOL Multiphysics with MATLAB®

Sheng-Yung Chen [1], Kuen-Yu Tsai [1]
[1]Dept. of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan

Electron-optical system (EOS) design for lithography provides the inherent advantage of higher resolution and maskless operation relative to optical technology. The use of multiple electron beams yields higher throughput, albeit with greater complexity in focusing, relative to the single ... Read More
