COMSOL Conference 2007

Minicourses

Minicourses give you hands-on experience using new COMSOL tools for modeling and simulation. In these sessions, the developers of COMSOL Multiphysics guide you through the course material. Along with a course book, we put all of the course models and material on a CD for you to keep — to review, modify, and reuse in your work. Free access to all minicourses is included in your conference registration fee.


PDE modeling and Simulation

Partial differential equations (PDEs) are the mathematical foundation to describe the Laws of Nature. This course introduces you to building computer models of PDEs. A variety of examples will highlight the key points to let you simulate just about any physics phenomena.

Introduction to Multiphysics

Hands-on introduction to modeling and simulation of coupled physics phenomena. You will set up your first model using ready-to-use application interfaces and conduct postprocessing of simulation results.

Script modeling and GUI design

The course focuses on how to build and run multiphysics models from COMSOL Script™ or MATLAB®. You will also get a quick introduction to creating custom graphical user interfaces that give tailored access to a model's functionality.


Heat Transfer

You will learn basic modeling techniques for heat transfer phenomena. Examples cover electronics cooling and fluid-thermal couplings.

Chemical Engineering

One stop shop from reaction formula to process simulation. Hands-on exercises take you through each step, from interfacing experimental data, parameter estimation, to space dependent simulations. Examples also include reactor modeling with coupled heat and mass transfer.

RF Modeling

Learn how to analyze a variety of electromagnetic waves scenarios. Examples include a circulator, a microwave filter undergoing heat expansion, a circuit board, and the sea bed logging method for oil prospecting.

AC/DC Modeling

This minicourse illustrates the modeling of static and low-frequent devices in electromagnetics. Examples include a MEMS capacitor, a generator, eddy currents in a metal plate, and a combined multiphysics and circuit model of cables connecting a charger to a car battery.

Design Optimization

The course highlights shape optimization, inverse modeling, and sensitivity analysis. The modeling exercises cover the optimization of a dipole antenna, the estimation of the thermal conductivity distribution to a given temperature profile, and a sensitivity analysis of a reacting system to the model parameters.

Fluid Flow

Learn how to model fluid dynamics to achieve high-fidelity results. Study examples include laminar and turbulent flow and fluid-structure interaction (FSI).

Meshing

Get to know the new powerful meshing and solving techniques in COMSOL 3.4.

Bioengineering

Join this class to get insight how to set up biomedical models such as tissue heating, ferrofluids, fluid-structure interaction (FSI) for artery blood flow and microfluidic bio systems .

Acoustics Module

The Acoustics Module is a complete modeling environment for linear wave-like phenomena in fluids and structures. Learn how to model loudspeakers, piezoacoustic transducers, mufflers, acoustic-structure interaction, and more.

Structural Mechanics

Get hands-on experience from modeling multiphysics contact, orthotropic materials, thermal stress analysis, and fatigue analysis of different cases of load histories.

Subsurface and Porous Media Flow

Learn how to couple subsurface fluid flow to free flow in a well, lake, or river. You will also see examples on how to add multiple physics to your models such as solute transport, heat transfer, and solid deformation. An oil & gas application is featured by modeling the poroelastic and potential for failure modeling of a multilateral well branching.

MEMS and Microfluidics

You will learn how to simulate MEMS problems, concentrating on electrostatic and piezo-electric actuation, electro-thermal deformation and deforming mesh problems. We will review the various physics which govern MEMS problems of this type and then show how these are implemented.
