Case study

Shear Jamming in Dense Suspensions
Shear thickening and jamming in dense particulate suspensions can lead to undesirable processing inefficiencies and failure modes across a variety of product applications, including inkjet printer nozzles, medical autoinjectors, and porous filtration systems.  In this case study, Veryst simulated the flow of a dense suspension through a syringe needle to evaluate the conditions that lead to shear jamming.
Underfill Adhesive Flow and Cure
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.

Service

Acoustics
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.
Adhesive Joints & Interfaces
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.
Chemical Reactors & Bioreactors
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.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Veryst offers state-of-the-art consulting in the design and analysis of gaseous and fluid systems and products. We employ advanced CFD analysis to solve problems involving fluid mixing, multiphase flow, phase change, non-Newtonian fluids, and microfluidic effects.
Electromagnetics
Veryst provides expert consulting services in modeling electromagnetic fields. Our expertise includes modeling electrostatics, magnetostatics, rotating machinery, and similar electromagnetic devices for power, energy, automotive, consumer electronics, biomedical, and many other industries.

Failure Analysis

The consultants at Veryst provide failure and root cause analyses using core engineering disciplines to evaluate different failure scenarios.  Engineering specialties we apply to failure analyses include: mechanical engineering, materials science (metallurgy, ceramics, polymer science, compo

Fluidic Mixing

Veryst has deep expertise in fluidic mixing processes, which we leverage for our clients across industries.  A fundamental aspect of mixing is the stretching and folding of the interface between initially separated substances.  This occurs in many forms a

Fluid–Structure Interaction
Fluid-structure interaction refers to the analyses involving simultaneous fluid flow and solid deformation.  Veryst Engineering has worked on a wide range of FSI problems of different complexities. 
Microfluidics
Veryst offers a comprehensive approach to solving problems in microfluidic device development.  We employ an array of modeling tools, such as scaling arguments, analytical formulas, computational simulations, and laboratory testing to inform the design and integration of common components.
Multiphysics Modeling
Accurate simulation of many products now requires a multiphysics approach. Veryst Engineering specializes in multiphysics problems involving solids, fluids, heat transfer, mass transfer, acoustics, and electromagnetics. Our modeling and analysis expertise includes fluid-structure interaction, thermal-structure interaction, structural-acoustic vibrations, conjugate heat transfer, Joule heating, and microwave heating.
Non-isothermal Flows

Modeling convective flow requires coupling fluid-flow with heat transfer.  The coupled processes can be very complex, particularly if the fluid flow is turbulent, or if the heat transfer involves processes such as boiling, evaporation, or mixed fluids with varying thermal properties.  F

Simulation & Analysis
