Studying the Swimming Patterns of Fish with Simulation
Researchers from the Università Roma Tre used simulation to study the carangiform swimming pattern of certain fish, the dynamics of which can be used to design aquatic vehicles and robots.
Testing the Safety of Reinforced Concrete Beams with an App
The Parameterized Concrete Beam demo app is based on a model of a reinforced concrete beam. It can be used to easily compute the beam’s deflection and axial stress over a range of parameters.

Analyzing a Novel Pin Fin Microchannel Design with Simulation
Researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Central Florida created a novel pin fin design and analyzed its heat transfer efficiency with COMSOL Multiphysics®.
Studying a Dielectric Probe Used for Skin Cancer Diagnosis
Noninvasive tools like dielectric probes are a promising method for diagnosing skin cancer as early as possible. Learn about how simulation can be used to analyze their functionality and safety.
Photos from the COMSOL Conference 2015 Boston
The COMSOL Conference 2015 Boston brought together simulation engineers for training, presentations, industry talks, and more. Check out photos from the event and see if you can find yourself!
Investigating Wireless Power Transfer with Simulation
Some wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies must be oriented in a certain way to ensure proper performance. Simulation can be used to study and optimize these devices.
Exploring the Venturi Effect
The Venturi effect: As a fluid flows through a constructed area of a pipe, its velocity increases and its static pressure decreases. Learn more about this effect and its application areas.
