Converting the High Flux Isotope Reactor to LEU Fuel
Learn about an initiative that requires nuclear research reactors currently using highly enriched uranium fuel to be converted to low enriched uranium fuel — and how simulation can help.
Seas of Change for Wind Turbines
One benefit of placing wind turbines offshore? They can’t be heard! Even better? High winds occur with more regularity offshore, making energy production more effective!
Portable Cordless Vaccine Storage Device
Their goal? To optimize the design of a passive vaccine storage device. Their tactic? Combining experimentation with the modeling of thermal and vacuum systems in COMSOL Multiphysics®.
Modeling Convective Cooling of Electrical Devices
We developed a model that includes all of the important details of thermal management in a high-power electrical device. To do so, we needed to use high performance computing with hybrid modeling.
The Magnus Effect and the FIFA World Cup™ Match Ball
In celebration of the 2014 FIFA World Cup™, we show you some interesting CFD analyses of the FIFA World Cup™ match ball — and how it exhibits the Magnus effect when in play.
Cable Simulations Spark New Developments at Prysmian Group
The Prysmian Group, a leader in cable systems for many different industries, are using simulation to improve their development process, save resources, and optimize their cable designs.
Heat Transfer in Deformed Solids
Learn how to model the physics that account for thermoelastic effects in immobile solids when coupling heat transfer and solid mechanics. Follow-up to an earlier post on conjugate heat transfer.
Hyperthermic Oncology: Hyperthermia for Cancer Treatment
Hyperthermic oncology: A type of cancer treatment in which high temperatures are used to destroy tumor cells. Learn about the physics behind this method and how simulation can be used to improve it.
