A Modeling Approach for Simulating Geothermal Energy Utilization by Borehole Heat Exchangers and Borehole Heat Exchanger Arrays
Decarbonization of the heating sector requires the exploitation of climate-neutral energy sources and the use of natural heat storage. Shallow and deep geothermal energy can make a valuable contribution to this. The dimensioning and design of geothermal boreholes and larger borehole heat ... Read More
MicroScopic and MacroScopic Modeling of Non-Isothermal Flow through Porous Media
Macroscopic modeling of fluid flow and thermal diffusion, in a porous medium, requires the description of equivalent properties (permeability, conductivity and diffusivity). However, depending on the microstructure topology of the porous medium and the fluid flow regime at the ... Read More
A Multiphysics Approach Towards a Sustainable Future: SC Cables for Next-Generation Fusion Reactors
In recent years, the optimization of high-temperature superconductors (HTS) has shown promising potential for developing advanced cable layouts aimed at the realization of practical fusion reactors. Despite their excellent performance in terms of electromagnetic and mechanical stability, ... Read More
Modeling of Two-Phase Cooled IGBT Module for Rail Transit Applications
Pumped two-phase cooling for improving thermal management of IGBT in rail transportation has been investigated both experimentally and numerically. The experimental study on pumped two-phase cold plate of IGBT used in HXD1C locomotives was conducted at a mass flow rate of 0.1 kg/s to 0 ... Read More
Modelling of Thermal Stress in Yb:YAG to Quantify Depolarisation in a Nanosecond 10 J, 100 Hz Laser
The high heat loads intrinsically associated with high-energy, high repetition rate laser systems require sophisticated thermal management analyses to minimise the impact of thermal effects on optical performance. Non-uniform heat deposition in optical elements can lead to the onset of ... Read More

Modelling the Composition Gradient in Ni-Mn-Ga Single Crystal Grown by Floating Zone Method
Re-crystallisation of Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloys in a floating zone (FZ) optical furnace is a complex problem that depends not only on the compositions of the master alloy and a seed crystal but on the growth speed and evolution of the molten zone shape during the crystal growth process. We ... Read More
Methanation in Catalytic Reactor
Power-to-gas is an important area of research for reducing greenhouse gases and seasonal energy storage. Methane, with a Lower Heating Value of 50 MJ/kg, is already a commonly used gas, and its synthesis using green hydrogen production (electrolysis of renewable energy) is a remarkable ... Read More
Modeling of Iron Ore Reduction Above the Cohesive Zone of the Blast Furnace
The blast furnace shaft is a huge counter flow reactor in which heat and mass exchange play a significant role in its mathematical modelling. The heat exchange model is already available in COMSOL Multiphysics® via the Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium interface. This multiphysics coupling ... Read More
