Studying a Dielectric Probe Used for Skin Cancer Diagnosis
Noninvasive tools like dielectric probes are a promising method for diagnosing skin cancer as early as possible. Learn about how simulation can be used to analyze their functionality and safety.
Simulating the Art of Swing Bowling in Cricket
The swing bowling move in cricket is as much an art form as it is an athletic feat. Researchers at the COMSOL Conference 2015 Boston simulated the fluid mechanics of conventional swing bowling.
Designing a More Efficient Disk-Stack Heat Sink with Simulation
Thermal modeling is a powerful tool for analyzing the efficiency of heat sink designs. We demonstrate with a disk-stack heat sink example.
Fraunhofer ISE Simulates a Solar Heating and Cooling System
To develop adsorption-based systems that run on solar energy, natural gas, and industrial waste, researchers at Fraunhofer ISE turned to multiphysics simulation.
Exploring the Venturi Effect
The Venturi effect: As a fluid flows through a constructed area of a pipe, its velocity increases and its static pressure decreases. Learn more about this effect and its application areas.
How to Calculate Mass Conservation and Energy Balance
Ever wonder how to compute the mass conservation of a fluid flow simulation, or the energy balance of a conjugate heat transfer simulation? If so, keep reading >>
