	COMSOL Helps Commercialize Molding Technology RocTool, Le Bourget du Lac, France Mathematical modeling is going far beyond the R&D lab and is starting to make a real difference in manufacturing processes. Today it would be virtually...
	Airbus Evaluates Friction Stir Welding Cranfield University, Cranfield, Bedfordshire, UK Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is an alternate way to joining metals, which also provides stronger welds. Dr. Paul Colegrove reports on the benefits of FSW, and...
	A Model of Direct Thermal Printing ZINK Imaging , Massachusetts, USA We used multiphysics modeling to model the mechanical and thermal behavior of our direct thermal printing process and to postprocess the data. The mechanical...
	University brings PDEs to Life in Undergraduate Education Rowan University, Glassboro, NJ An undergraduate heat transfer course uses COMSOL Multiphysics to help students design the cooling of a motorcycle engine block. Students were able to create...
	Ugitech optimizes steel casting process using COMSOL Multiphysics Ugitech S.A., Ugine, France Ugitech S.A., a manufacturer of stainless steel in France, has used COMSOL Multiphysics to optimize running of its continuing casting machines. In their case...

	Turbulent Flow Through a Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger This model studies a part of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger where hot water enters from above. The cooling medium flows through the tubes that, in this model, impose a constant temperature at the walls. Furthermore, the tubes are assumed...
	A Transient Analysis of Freeze-drying Freeze-drying, or lyophilization, is a process for drying heat-sensitive substances such as foods, blood plasma, and antibiotics. The wet substance is frozen and then, through sublimation, ice (or some other frozen solvent) is removed in...
