Implementing the Weak Form with a COMSOL App
First we implement the weak form equation and examine its matrices. Then we create a simulation app that displays all relevant matrices at once, arranged logically on one screen.

What to Expect from COMSOL Multiphysics Version 5.1
COMSOL Multiphysics® version 5.1 introduced 20 demo apps and many new features and functionality updates to numerous products. Get an overview of what’s new here.

Which Module Should I Choose for Working with My CAD Data?
We go over which add-on module or LiveLink™ interfacing product is best for your modeling scenarios involving CAD data. Get a comprehensive overview here.

Modeling Laser-Material Interactions with the Beer-Lambert Law
Did you know that you can use the Beer–Lambert law to model laser–material interactions in COMSOL Multiphysics®? Learn how here.

How Can I Build an Efficient Stirling Heat Pump?
Did you know that heat pumps are also called Stirling engines? These systems can operate on incredibly low temperature differences — some only need human body heat to work!

Using the Boussinesq Approximation for Natural Convection
Today, we compare the Boussinesq approximation to the full Navier-Stokes equations for a natural convection problem. We also show you how to implement the Boussinesq approximation in COMSOL Multiphysics software and discuss potential benefits of doing so.

Studying the Airflow Over a Car Using an Ahmed Body
The Ahmed body is a benchmark model widely used in the automotive industry for validating simulation tools. We discuss simulating airflow over an Ahmed body to optimize automotive aerodynamics.

An Analysis of Syngas Combustion in a Round-Jet Burner
By combining the Reacting Flow interface and the Heat Transfer in Solids interface, we can study the syngas combustion in a round-jet burner. Get details…
