How to Analyze Thermoelectric Cooler Designs with a COMSOL App
A simulation application, such as one for a thermoelectric cooler design, can be used to test a variety of parameters in order to optimize a device for a specific use.
Analyze Thin Structures Using Up and Down Operators
Modeling complex geometries with thin structures can be very costly in terms of computational effort. Up and down operators are a way to efficiently and accurately compute these models.
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.
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.
Defining Curvilinear Coordinates for Anisotropic Materials
Consider a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer with woven fibers embedded in an epoxy matrix. How can you express the anisotropy by referring to the well-known Cartesian coordinate system?
