Sometimes a Cigar Is More Than Just a Cigar
Are you a casual stogie fan? A cigar aficionado? We show off a simple model of a cigar to study the temperature distribution of the smoke and concentration of oxygen.
Surface, Volume, and Line Plots: Visualizing Results on a Heat Sink
3 of the most common plot types used in postprocessing: surface, volume, and line plots. Learn how to use these plot types for your simulation results and when to use each option.
Combining Parallel Slices to Create an Animation
Want to animate how your 3D steady-state model’s solution is changing along a certain direction? You can do so by combining parallel slices. We demonstrate the 3-step process…
Modeling a Coil Heat Exchanger
Coil heat exchangers are simple and easy to manufacture — but what about modeling them? Adding expressions to compute the temperature drop between coil turns simplifies the modeling process.
How to Obtain Oil Cost-Effectively with Multilateral Wells
1 example of how numerical simulation benefits the oil & gas industry: You can predict the stability of a multilateral well to determine if it will need expensive mechanical stabilization.
Phase Change: Cooling and Solidification of Metal
Phase change: A transformation of material from one state of matter to another due to a change in temperature. Learn how to model phase change in a continuous casting process.
Simulating Wear in COMSOL Multiphysics
A guest blogger from Veryst Engineering, a COMSOL Certified Consultant, shares how he implemented a wear model in COMSOL Multiphysics® and validated it by simulating a pin-on-disc wear test.
Electron Energy Distribution Function
The electron energy distribution function (EEDF) strongly influences the results of a plasma model. But what are some ways we can numerically describe the EEDF in the COMSOL® software?
