Modeling Reacting Flow in Porous Media
This blog post and embedded tutorial video demonstrate what inputs are required and what results you can obtain when modeling a porous reactor in COMSOL Multiphysics®.
Sometimes a Cigar Is More Than Just a Cigar
Are you a casual stogie fan? A cigar aficionado? We show off a simple model of a cigar to study the temperature distribution of the smoke and concentration of oxygen.
Isoelectric Focusing and the Migration of Chemical Species
Isoelectric focusing is a type of electrophoresis used by researchers to identify small chemical differences between molecules. Learn about using the COMSOL® software to analyze this process.
Modeling High-Performance Liquid Chromatography
High-performance liquid chromatography involves mixing a solvent from a reservoir with a sample zone containing the analytes to be separated and then pumping the mixture into an injector.
Ammonia Synthesis, a Complex and Nonlinear Process
In the final installment of our Chemical Kinetics blog series, we discuss the complex and nonlinear process of synthesizing ammonia. Get an overview of the equations and modeling considerations.
Chemical Parameter Estimation Using COMSOL Multiphysics
In this installment of our blog series on chemical kinetics, we discuss how to estimate the chemical parameters of your model in COMSOL Multiphysics®.
Enzyme Kinetics, Michaelis-Menten Mechanism
For the 100-year anniversary of the Michaelis–Menten mechanism, we honor the trailblazing publication the best way we know how — with simulation.
Buoyancy-Driven μPCR for DNA Amplification
True crime + simulation: The more DNA in a sample, the easier it is to accurately test and identify biomolecules, cells, and even an entire person during forensic investigations.
