Studying the Swimming Patterns of Fish with Simulation

January 4, 2016

Researchers from the Università Roma Tre used simulation to study the carangiform swimming pattern of certain fish, the dynamics of which can be used to design aquatic vehicles and robots.

Simulating the Motion of a Self-Stable Bicycle

December 31, 2015

Did you know that modern bicycles are designed to be self stable? They’re good at keeping balance while moving uncontrolled. You can simulate this effect in COMSOL Multiphysics®.

App: Ensuring the Efficiency of an Absorptive Muffler Design

December 30, 2015

We discuss a simulation app that lets engineers easily modify the dimensions of an absorptive muffler design, its ambient working conditions, and the material properties of the porous liner.
