Using Simulation to Guide mRNA Vaccine Production
In recent times, lipid nanoparticles have gained public attention for their use in mRNA vaccine production. Read how Veryst Engineering is using simulation to help guide this process.
The Heat Is On: Modeling Temperature Distribution in a Sauna
How long does it take for a dry sauna to heat up? Here, we use heat transfer and fluid flow modeling to find the answer.
Validating Transonic Flow Results with the ONERA-M6 Wing Model
When using simulation software, your models’ results should accurately reflect the real-world phenomena you are simulating. 1 way to check this is by using a validation model.
Modeling the Pulsed Laser Heating of Semitransparent Materials
Laser light is often used to rapidly heat materials within the semiconductor processing industry. Here, we explore this method with heat transfer simulation.
Intro to Modeling Transient Heating of Solids in COMSOL Multiphysics®
Transient heat transfer models are easy to set up and solve, but the interpretation of their results can lead to confusion. Here, we explore this scenario with a simple heat transfer model.
Computing Orbital Heat Loads with COMSOL Multiphysics®
As of version 6.1, the Heat Transfer Module includes a new interface for defining satellite orbit and orientation, orbital maneuvers, and varying planetary properties.
