Content

The course introduces you to the simulation of heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation with the `Heat Transfer Module´ of COMSOL Multiphysics. In step with actual practice in modeling of heat transmission, heating and cooling systems you will learn the workflow for successful models: geometry handling, physics, meshing, solving and postprocessing.

The instructor will select topics from this list as well as others as requested by attendees:

  • Foundations of heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation)
  • Heat generation by reactions and electricity
  • Non-isothermal flow, free convection
  • Phase changes
  • Modeling of thin layers: thermal contacts and highly conductive layers
  • Heat transfer in turbulent regimes

Speakers

Dr. Sven Friedel
COMSOL Multiphysics GmbH, Zurich

Dr. Sven Friedel is a physicist and earned his Ph.D. at the University of Leipzig (Germany) in geophysics, specializing in electromagnetic inverse problems applied to tomographic imaging. He also taught courses in, among other things, geomagnetics. For his research he focused on the simulation of electrical, fluidic, and thermal processes in volcanoes. After several years working as a postdoctoral researcher in the area of geotechnical engineering at the ETH in Zurich, in 2004 Dr. Friedel established COMSOL AB's branch office in Switzerland.

Dr. Thierry Luthy (Physicist)
COMSOL Multiphysics GmbH, Zurich

Thierry Luthy studied at the University of Neuchâtel in the field of superconducting materials. After his physicist diploma, he worked for some years at the EMPA Dübendorf in various research areas e.g. the nondestructive testing of high-technology ceramics. In 2003, he completed his PhD at the ETH Zürich in the field of composite materials.

Zoran Vidakovic
COMSOL Multiphysics GmbH, Zürich

Zoran Vidakovic received his BSc and MSc degrees in mechanical engineering from ETH Zürich, Switzerland. His studies and research projects focused on turbomachinery, heat transfer, fluid-
and thermodynamics and advanced energy technologies in general. In his master thesis at the Laboratory for Energy Conversion he numerically investigated the turbine performance and heat transfer of innovative cycle concepts for CO2 capture ready fossil power plants. Before joining COMSOL in April 2010 Mr. Vidakovic completed a six month industrial internship in the Aero-/ Thermodynamics R&D department of MAN Turbo AG Schweiz.
