A Recipe for Success at Whirlpool Corporation
Engineers at Whirlpool Corporation and the GREENKITCHEN European green energy initiative project used multiphysics simulation to improve energy efficiency in kitchen appliances.
Modeling an RF Anechoic Chamber Using Periodic Structures
Anechoic chambers can be either acoustic or electromagnetic. These noise-canceling rooms are designed to absorb sound or electromagnetic waves. Simulation can be used to design these devices.

Converting the High Flux Isotope Reactor to LEU Fuel
Learn about an initiative that requires nuclear research reactors currently using highly enriched uranium fuel to be converted to low enriched uranium fuel — and how simulation can help.
Seas of Change for Wind Turbines
One benefit of placing wind turbines offshore? They can’t be heard! Even better? High winds occur with more regularity offshore, making energy production more effective!
POWER Prevents Corona Discharge in Power Lines
POWER Engineers, a global engineering consulting firm, used multiphysics simulation to study if and where corona discharge occurs in power lines and their associated assemblies.
Hyperthermic Oncology: Hyperthermia for Cancer Treatment
Hyperthermic oncology: A type of cancer treatment in which high temperatures are used to destroy tumor cells. Learn about the physics behind this method and how simulation can be used to improve it.
