Simulating Analog-to-Digital Microdroplet Dispensers for LOCs

May 11, 2015

University of Bridgeport researchers designed a high-throughput microfluidic droplet dispenser as an analog-to-digital microfluidic converter for use in lab-on-a-chip (LOC) applications.

Describing the Behavior of a Thermal Mass Flow Sensor

April 27, 2015

Researchers from the University of Cambridge analyzed the dynamics of a thermal flow sensor, a component of a flowmeter, with a 3D model. Get the full story >>

How Can I Build an Efficient Stirling Heat Pump?

April 9, 2015

Did you know that heat pumps are also called Stirling engines? These systems can operate on incredibly low temperature differences — some only need human body heat to work!

Using the Boussinesq Approximation for Natural Convection

April 7, 2015

Today, we compare the Boussinesq approximation to the full Navier-Stokes equations for a natural convection problem. We also show you how to implement the Boussinesq approximation in COMSOL Multiphysics software and discuss potential benefits of doing so.

Studying the Airflow Over a Car Using an Ahmed Body

April 3, 2015

The Ahmed body is a benchmark model widely used in the automotive industry for validating simulation tools. We discuss simulating airflow over an Ahmed body to optimize automotive aerodynamics.

An Analysis of Syngas Combustion in a Round-Jet Burner

April 2, 2015

By combining the Reacting Flow interface and the Heat Transfer in Solids interface, we can study the syngas combustion in a round-jet burner. Get details…

Tears of Wine and the Marangoni Effect

March 24, 2015

Have you ever noticed that when drinking a glass of wine, sometimes “tears” fall down in the inside of the wine glass? This is the Marangoni effect in action! Learn more and see examples…

Simulating Injection Mold Cooling

March 23, 2015

Injection molding is the most common form of polymer manufacturing because large amounts of products can be produced quickly. By simulating this process, we can avoid defects in these products.
