The Science of Composting

September 23, 2014

Compostable coffee pods in recyclable packaging are an environmentally friendly way to get your morning caffeine fix. But what exactly is the science behind the composting process?

The Physics Behind Baseball Pitches

July 17, 2014

3 forces affect a baseball pitch after leaving a pitcher’s hand: gravity, drag, and the Magnus force. Gravity pulls the ball down, drag slows the ball, and the Magnus force depends on the pitch.

Size Parameters for Free Tetrahedral Meshing in COMSOL Multiphysics

January 30, 2014

COMSOL Multiphysics® has 9 built-in size parameter sets when meshing. In this blog post, we’ll discuss size parameters for 1 of these sets: free tetrahedral meshing.

Dedicated Multiphysics Node Introduced in COMSOL 4.4

November 29, 2013

To make it easier and more transparent to define models involving multiple physics phenomena in COMSOL, a separate Multiphysics node has been added as a new feature in COMSOL version 4.4. The Multiphysics node gives you control over the couplings for thermal stress and electromagnetic thermal effects involved in your models. Future versions will include further multiphysics couplings through the Multiphysics node in addition to the multiphysics couplings methods already available since previous versions.

Video Tutorial: Introducing the New User Interface in COMSOL 4.4

November 28, 2013

Each COMSOL release aims to create a better modeling experience for our users, usually in the form of new add-on modules and new functionality in existing products. COMSOL 4.4 brings you all that, but it also includes another significant change: a brand new user interface (UI). The new UI contains a ribbon at the top of the interface (for our Windows® users) to make your modeling easier and faster. The ribbon gives you direct access to the functions you would […]
