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
Multiphysics simulation can be used to predict the performance and life cycle of battery cells across a wide variety of environmental conditions and states of charge, reducing experimental time and cost.
