The Boundary Element Method Simplifies Corrosion Simulation
The boundary element method can be used when simulating corrosion to avoid needing a finite element mesh to resolve the whole 3D structure, saving time for large problems with slender components.
Protein Adsorption: Batch and Space-Dependent Modeling
We take you step by step through developing a detailed protein adsorption reactor model. We start with a simple, perfectly mixed batch reactor and move onto space-dependent modeling.
Using Simulation in the Race Against Corrosion
A German research institute and a well-known car manufacturer joined forces to investigate the corrosion occurring in automotive rivets and sheet metal. Get the full story.
Does the Current Flow Backwards Inside a Battery?
What happens inside a battery? Does the current flow from negative to positive electric potential? Here, we explain the potential profile inside a battery during discharge and recharge.
Corrosion in Oil Platforms
The offshore oil industry is plagued by a persistent and costly problem: Corrosion in oil platforms can lead to damage and failure of the structure, loss of business, and even onsite accidents.
Improving Nuclear Reactor Designs with Simulation
Take a look inside the dynamics of a nuclear reactor — and then see how you can use multiphysics simulation to improve their design.
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.
Modeling Corrosion for Automotive Applications
Simulation is a way to address the different types of corrosion that commonly occur in automobiles, saving car manufacturers time, money, and resources.
