App: Studying a Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger’s Dimensions
The Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger Dimensioning Tool demo app is an example of what is possible when you build a simplified version of a model and share it throughout your organization.
Optimizing Heat Sink Designs with a Simulation App
The Heat Sink with Fins demo app is here to get you started with designing your own heat sink design app. Take a look at the design scenario, app, and underlying model here.
Modeling Laser-Material Interactions with the Beer-Lambert Law
Did you know that you can use the Beer–Lambert law to model laser–material interactions in COMSOL Multiphysics®? Learn how here.
How Can I Build an Efficient Stirling Heat Pump?
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
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.
Tips and Tricks for Modeling Induction Furnaces
A guest blogger from SIMTEC gives an introduction to the principles of induction heating and shares insight into the modeling of induction furnaces.
Computing View Factors with the Heat Transfer Module
Interested in computing geometrical view factors in COMSOL®? There are operators for postprocessing that correspond to the operators used to generate surface-to-surface equations. Learn more.
Rosetta and Philae: A Historic Landing on a Comet
In 2014, the spacecraft Philae, aboard the Rosetta, landed on a comet for the first time ever. We talk to 2 of the scientists involved in this project about what this means >>
