An inductive eddy current sensor is a non-contact device that generates electromagnetic fields to detect changes in the properties of conductive materials, such as defects, thickness, or conductivity. This webinar will introduce the fundamentals of inductive sensors, present a detailed workflow for designing them for nondestructive testing, and much more.
Electromagnetic heating is a critical technology for reducing emissions and energy use in manufacturing, which is the source of more than 30% of our greenhouse gas emissions. In this webinar, we will review various modes of electromagnetic heating, their underlying physics, and key methods for developing accurate multiphysics models of these technologies, and will present three helpful case studies.

A simple way of mixing small volumes (microliters or milliliters) of reagents is by repeatedly dispensing and withdrawing solution from a microwell or tube. In this case study, we used a two-phase multiphysics simulation with coupled fluid flow and mass transfer to analyze the efficacy of this active mixing process.
Axial permanent magnet couplings are electromagnetic devices that transmit torque from a primary driver to a load without mechanical contact. Veryst used a finite element analysis (FEA) model to analyze the complex coupling nature of these magnetic devices to maximize the torque transmission
Bubbles trapped in microchannels can distort the fluid flow and impact the device performance. Veryst developed a multiphase CFD model to predict the effect of geometry and surface properties on the likelihood of bubble entrapment.
How fast does a Calrod heat up and how high are the stresses during heating? To answer these questions, Veryst Engineering developed a coupled electric-thermal-structural multiphysics model of the Calrod, accounting for conduction, convection, and radiation.
Removing reagents or sample from a previous processing step via a wash cycle is a common challenge in microfluidic assays used in diagnostic, genomic, biomedical, pharmaceutical and other applications. This case study shows how finite element simulations may be used to predict and optimize wash cycle performance.
Controlling spatial variations in chemical concentration is important for designing and operating many microfluidic devices across a wide range of industries and applications including diagnostics, genomics, and pharmaceutics. In this case study, we show how simulations may be used to quantify and control concentration gradients in microfluidic devices.
Thermal ablation is a minimally invasive way to treat tumors, and simulating the physics of ablation can help in the design of ablation devices. Veryst designed and simulated a catheter-based acoustic ablation device relying on acoustic pressure waves to heat tissue to induce necrosis.
For several of the electromagnetics interfaces provided with COMSOL Multiphysics, a single layer shell feature, the “Transition Boundary Condition,” is available. Veryst created custom expressions to extend this feature for multiple layers. In this case study we discuss the implementation of this new functionality, and the advantages of using such shells for electromagnetic modeling.
When a thin structure is immersed in a fluid, its natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping characteristics may be significantly affected by the fluid. Predicting the dynamic behavior in this case requires a structural-acoustic analysis.
