Why Is My Coffee Maker Smiling at Me? Pareidolia Examined
A coffee maker smiles at you. A mop looks grumpy. The side of a building looks surprised. The phenomenon of seeing faces in inanimate objects, pareidolia, is more common than you might think…
Exploiting Hardware Parallelism with COMSOL® Batch Sweeps
What is a batch sweep? How do I set up a batch sweep for my model? How much batch parallelism can COMSOL Multiphysics® exploit? We answer these questions and more…
Introduction to the Elastic Waves, Time Explicit Interface
From nondestructive testing to seismic wave propagation in soil and rock, there are many application areas that involve the propagation of elastic waves in solids and vibrations in structures.
Gaining Understanding of Complex Phenomena with Virtual Laboratories
Virtual laboratories make complex scientific phenomena accessible for students. See examples from the University of Hartford, Virginia Commonwealth University, and the University of Dayton.
How to Use State Variables in COMSOL Multiphysics®
As of COMSOL Multiphysics® version 5.5, you can use state variables to track the state of your model; affect other fields, such as material properties; and even implement hysteresis.
Modeling Heat Transfer in Thin Layers via Layered Material Technology
We answer some questions you may have about the Layered Material functionality in the COMSOL® software: What does it do? How do you update existing models? How do simulations benefit from it?
