Geothermal Energy: Using the Earth to Heat and Cool Buildings
Learn how to accurately predict the thermal performance of a shallow tubing heat collector design for geothermal heating applications. Part 3 of our blog series on geothermal energy.
Powerful Packaging for Electronics in Extreme Environments
U.S.-based Arkansas Power Electronics International is designing power packaging for improved thermal management in power electronics devices, increased efficiency, and lower costs.
AMPHOS 21 on Simulating Carbon Sequestration
Carbon dioxide sequestration is a proposed solution to releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that involves storing the CO2 in geological formations. AMPHOS 21 models this process.
Coupling Heat Transfer with Subsurface Porous Media Flow
Part 2 of the Geothermal Energy series: We couple heat transport and subsurface flow processes to determine the thermal development of the subsurface due to geothermal heat production.
Tips for Using the Wall Distance Interface
The Wall Distance interface can be used to calculate the distance to the nearest wall or detect when a moving object will hit a wall. Learn how to implement this interface in CFD simulations.
What Kinds of FSI Problems Can COMSOL Multiphysics Solve?
We discuss the various techniques for modeling fluid–structure interaction (FSI) in the COMSOL® software, as well as highlight the add-on modules you need for these various types of analyses.
Characterizing the Flow and Choosing the Right Interface
No matter the focus of your modeling project, you have probably had to consider fluid flow at some point. Here, we discuss how to characterize the flow and choose the correct CFD interface.
Exploring Below the Surface with a Poroelastic Analysis
How did the Leaning Tower of Pisa get its “lean”? We discuss poromechanics in building mechanics and how to run a Biot poroelasticity analysis for such problems.
