Simulating Thermal Performance in Windows
Windows must be able to keep heat out during the summer and heat in during the winter in order to keep the inside of a building at a comfortable temperature, a process called thermal insulation.
Improving Bioreactor Performance with COMSOL Multiphysics
A guest blogger from Continuum Blue gives an overview of what the consultancy can do using simulation for their biomedical engineering clients.
Modeling a Displacement Ventilation System
There are 2 different types of ventilation systems: mixing ventilation and displacement ventilation. Displacement ventilation is mainly found in offices, schools, and other public spaces.
Multiphysics Analysis of Advanced Materials: Ceramic Matrix Composites
A guest blogger from AltaSim Technologies discusses ceramic matrix composites and how to accurately analyze the production of such an advanced material.
Modeling PSU Cooling with COMSOL
A forced convection cooling system, such as a PSU, is used for removing excess heat produced by electrical computer components. You can model this device in COMSOL Multiphysics®.
Differentially Pumped Vacuum Systems for Spectroscopic Imaging
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is an imaging technique used extensively in R&D to characterize the chemical and electronic properties at the surface of a material. Learn about this technique.
Conjugate Heat Transfer
Get an introduction to the concept of conjugate heat transfer and see some of its applications and modeling considerations.
Red Blood Cell Separation from a Flow Channel
Lab-on-a-chip technology can be used to separate red blood cell via magnetophoresis — for example, motion induced by magnetic fields. Simulation can be used to optimize such devices.
