Modeling Heat Conduction, Convection, and Radiation in COMSOL® 5.6

Duration: 33:10

In this archived presentation, we begin with a brief overview of the capabilities of COMSOL Multiphysics® for modeling conduction, convection, and radiation; heat transfer in fluids; and surface-to-surface radiation.

Then, we share information about many of the new heat transfer features and functionality available as of COMSOL Multiphysics® version 5.6.

Updates in version 5.6 include:

  • Boundary conditions and direction-dependent surface properties for modeling surface-to-surface radiation
  • Semitransparent surfaces and boundary conditions for modeling radiation in participating media
  • A Phase Change Interface boundary condition
  • Features for modeling moisture transport in porous and hygroscopic media
  • And much more!
