Common Pitfalls in Electrothermal Analysis
In the real world, electromagnetic heating often involves a nonlinear temperature. Learn some common pitfalls that occur during this type of electrothermal analysis and how to overcome them.
Should I Fillet the Geometry in My Electromagnetic Heating Analysis?
You want to analyze electromagnetic heating around sharp corners in your simulation. Do you round off the corners by adding a fillet? We go over cases where you should and shouldn’t do so.
Which Turbulence Model Should I Choose for My CFD Application?
Modeling turbulence in the COMSOL® software? Find out which turbulence model you should use, depending on your CFD modeling scenario.
How to Use Model Methods to Accelerate Your COMSOL® Workflow
Methods aren’t just for enhancing simulation applications built in the Application Builder. In fact, you can create methods to streamline and automate repetitive modeling operations.
How to Model the Optical Properties of Rough Surfaces
We develop a computational model for calculating the optical properties of rough surfaces, such as incident light on a dielectric material with random variations in height and thickness.
How to Create a Randomized Geometry Using Model Methods
What does cheese have to do with setting up a COMSOL Multiphysics® model? Here, we use the random holes in a piece of Swiss cheese to demonstrate creating randomized geometries with methods.
Modeling Natural and Forced Convection in COMSOL Multiphysics®
Get an overview of several approaches for modeling natural and forced convection in COMSOL Multiphysics®, starting with the simplest method and adding complexity from there.
How to Optimize the Spacing of Electromagnetic Coils
Did you know that you can maximize the magnetic field strength of your electromagnetic coil designs by optimizing the spacing between the coils?
