During sloshing, liquid exerts a dynamic force on the surrounding vessel, which may cause leakage or damage to the vessel or its supporting structure. We used a mesh-free smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method to predict liquid sloshing and its effect on the deformation and stresses in a vessel.
Electroosmotic (EO) pumps are driven purely by electric fields and have no moving parts. Cascading EO pumps reduces voltage requirements. Veryst used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and semi-analytical equivalent circuit theory to analyze the complex behavior of these pumps.
Thermal management is crucially important for battery performance in consumer products, electric vehicles, and grid-level storage systems. In this case study, Veryst used multiphysics simulations to evaluate different thermal management strategies in prismatic and cylindrical battery packs.
Tires experience large, complex deformation during use, and the highly filled rubbers are difficult to model. Veryst designed and calibrated a custom material model to capture the mechanical behavior of the tire to improve the design.
New total joint replacement prostheses often use ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in load bearing components. Design engineers need to understand the stress and strain distributions in order to extend device life.
Veryst developed a diffusion model accounting for the different layers of the human skin in order to predict the drug concentration profile of a transdermal drug delivery process.
Permeation enhancers are used to improve drug delivery through the skin by altering the structure and dynamics of the skin. Veryst developed a finite element model of drug diffusion from an adhesive patch that accounts for the effect of permeation enhancers.
The microelectronics packaging industry relies heavily on adhesive bonding to assemble electronic components. Veryst built a COMSOL Multiphysics model of a thermocompression bonding process to help reduce bonding cycle time by simultaneously optimizing material and process variables.
When would an automotive disc brake need to be replaced? The continuous frictional sliding between two deformable surfaces leads to wear accumulation and ultimately failure of the weakest component. However, wear modeling is not readily available in most finite element codes. Veryst developed a wear model in COMSOL Multiphysics using differential equations for the wear depth based on a modified version of Archard's law.
Veryst has strong acoustic simulation expertise in a wide variety of applications, including medical devices and wearable technology. In many cases, acoustic problems cannot be solved adequately using a single-physics approach, and Veryst has extensive experience in solving multiphysics problems involving acoustics.
Veryst assists clients with the selection of adhesive materials, development of bonding processes, and mechanical analysis of interfaces. We employ chemical characterization, mechanical testing, and advanced computational methods to design robust adhesively bonded structures and to understand delamination failures.
Customized simulation applications ("apps") can simplify the product design process and accelerate its development cycle. Veryst's deep expertise with simulation and with the Application Builder in COMSOL Multiphysics enables us to build useful and reliable apps that are highly customized to our clients' needs.
Chemical reactors and bioreactors involve many layers of physics, including fluid flow, heat transfer, chemical reactions, and porous media. A deep knowledge of the underlying physical phenomena is essential when scaling up reactors.
Veryst uses its extensive expertise in simulation and analysis to develop customized computational solutions.
