Happy Birthday, Erwin Schrödinger
We discuss the life and work of the legendary physicist behind Schrödinger’s cat, the Schrödinger equation, and more: Erwin Schrödinger.
Using General Extrusion Operators to Model Periodic Structures
If your multiphysics model includes a periodic solution to one physics and nonperiodic solutions to other physics of interest, you can exploit the periodicity to reduce computational requirements!
NREL Enhances Biofuel Conversion Processes with Simulation
In an attempt to make biofuel conversion more efficient and cost effective, researchers at NREL used simulation to study and optimize such processes. Get the full story >>
Avoiding Ship Hull Corrosion with ICCP and Simulation
Did you know that the ocean is an electrolyte? Corrosion commonly seen on ship hulls occurs when there are areas with different potentials within such an electrolyte — saltwater, in this case.
Computing Design Sensitivities in COMSOL Multiphysics
You can compute design sensitivities via the core functionality of COMSOL Multiphysics®. We show you how with a parallel plate capacitor example.
Should We Model Graphene as a 2D Sheet or Thin 3D Volume?
Graphene is a 2D sheet of carbon atoms that is 1 atomic layer thick. However, is graphene actually 2D or is it just incredibly thin, like a very fine piece of paper? How should it be modeled?
Simulating a Transparent Light Pipe to Optimize Transmittance
Transparent light pipes are used as an optimal source of natural light for underground areas, like subway stations, and areas without a lot of natural light, like prisons.
Simulation-Led Design Is Better and More Accessible than Ever
In the early days of simulation, it was only used by a small handful of R&D specialists. Thanks to recent developments in hardware and simulation software, this handy tool is more accessible.
