How to Model Fluid Friction in Joints with COMSOL Multiphysics®
Follow along as we demonstrate how to model fluid friction in joints using 2 rotordynamics examples: a piston and a reciprocating engine.
Maintaining Cold Temperatures in an Isothermal Box with Simulation
Heat transfer modeling is more accurate when you can input historical climate data from ASHRAE, such as in this example of an isothermal box designed to transport perishable items and medicine.
Evaluating a Fire-Resistant Overpack for Nuclear Waste
Confinement system overpacks are used to safely store radioactive waste. Sogin uses heat transfer modeling to design safe and reliable overpacks that are resistant to fire.
How to Model Piezoelectric Devices as Both Transmitters and Receivers
Certain types of transducers can act as both transmitters and receivers. We demonstrate how to use 2 features for modeling this type of piezoelectric device.
Simulating Nonlinear Sound Propagation in an Acoustic Horn
The Westervelt model enables you to perform complex acoustics analyses, such as modeling the propagation of nonlinear acoustic waves generated by an exponential horn.
Analyzing Wind Turbine Blades with the Composite Materials Module
Take a look at the dedicated functionality for analyzing thin, layered structures in the Composite Materials Module with this example: a wind turbine blade made of composite materials.
How to Activate Material in Simulations of Manufacturing Processes
Do you model manufacturing processes such as welding or additive manufacturing? You can activate or deactivate a material in a material deposition simulation using specialized functionality.
How to Perform a STOP Analysis with COMSOL Multiphysics®
Interested in structural-thermal-optical performance (STOP) analysis? We go over the theory, background, and how to perform such an analysis in the Ray Optics Module.
