NICHOLAS GOLDRING Radiasoft

Use of the COMSOL Server™ License to Simulate Next-Generation Synchrotron Light SourcesFriday, October 5

Next-generation synchrotron light sources are creating orders-of-magnitude brighter X-rays by reducing horizontal emittance. This requires the bending magnet pole tips to be closer to the electron beam axis, which in turn requires smaller vacuum chambers. The resultant design challenges are dictated by complex and coupled physical phenomena, including high thermal stresses, photon-stimulated desorption, and electromagnetic wakefi elds. The Application Builder in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software enables the creation of browser-based graphical user interfaces (GUIs), which enable scientists and engineers to study this complicated problem domain without becoming an expert user of the COMSOL® software. With a relatively inexpensive COMSOL Server™ product license, these GUIs can be run on a cloud-based server, with many processors and all of the required RAM for complex simulations. This approach extends the power of COMSOL Multiphysics® to collaborators, customers, students, etc. We present two such GUIs: 1) the emission of synchrotron radiation and resultant thermal stress on vacuum chamber walls that are downstream of dipole bending sections, and 2) accurate thermal analysis and optimized mechanical bending correction for high-heat-load beamline mirrors. The various challenges of creating the underlying FEA models and the methods used to overcome them will be discussed. Both examples are relevant to the Advanced Photon Source upgrade (APS-U) under construction at Argonne National Laboratory.

JUSTIN MCKENNON NTS Lightning Technologies

The Role of Multiphysics Modeling in Lightning Protection Design and Certifi cationThursday, October 4

In the aerospace and wind turbine fi elds, implementing a suitable lightning protection design is paramount. Lightning, and other electromagnetic effects (precipitation static, radiated fi elds, etc.), can seriously degrade performance, damage, or even destroy objects without an acceptable protection design. In the past, to determine the threat that lightning poses, several iterations of engineering testing were required to obtain data, which drives the protection features an object must have to survive. This is a high-risk path and can result in tremendous program costs and setbacks. Multiphysics modeling allows for the effects of lightning to be understood without having to perform dozens of test iterations and frequently results in large time and cost savings for programs that use it. In this talk, the role of multiphysics in the development of lightning protection designs and the certifi cation of these designs is discussed as well as the benefi ts of this approach.

IVANA MILANOVIC University of Hartford

Simulation-Based Approach to STEM ChallengesThursday, October 4

A new pedagogical approach to STEM challenges is currently implemented in the mechanical engineering program at the University of Hartford. This approach combines problem- and inquiry-based learning, simulations and apps with the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, and emphasizes the importance of outside-of-class learning supported by effective reference materials and faculty mentoring.

A two-course sequence was modifi ed to contain scaffolded and contextualized simulations with application building that develop technical competency in modeling, a deeper understanding of thermofl uids concepts by solving realistic technological problems, and writing skills by generating technical reports for each simulation. Apps involve creating a simplifi ed interface that contains the full effi cacy of the underlying model but not exposing the end user to its complexity.
