Comparing Hydrodynamic Bearings with Rotordynamics Analyses
Compare the load capacities for different types of hydrodynamic bearings and determine which is best suited for your area of study by using the Rotordynamics Module.
How to Analyze Beam Sections Using the Beam Section Calculator
Simulation applications can be used as utility tools to compute the properties and parameters of a component or device. In this example, the application analyzes beam section geometries.
Analyzing Novel Roof Tile Designs with Multiphysics Simulation
To investigate a novel design for roof tiles that can keep buildings cool in hot climates, called Life HEROTILE Project, a research group from Italy turned to multiphysics simulation.
Using the Discontinuous Galerkin Method to Model Linear Ultrasound
You can easily model acoustically large problems, like linear ultrasound, with a predefined physics interface that uses a memory-efficient approach called the discontinuous Galerkin method.
Finding the Best Coal Arrangement for Even Heat in a Grill
Pizza on the grill? It’s actually quite delicious. Here, we use heat transfer modeling to determine how the grill’s coals should be arranged for even heating.
Keynote Video: Solving 2 Transport Process Problems with Simulation
In a keynote presentation from the COMSOL Conference 2016 Boston, Carl Meinhart from the University of California, Santa Barbara and Numerical Design discusses simulating transport processes.
Keynote Video: Locating Leaks in Pipe Networks with a Simulation App
Sebastien Perrier of Echologics discusses a simulation application used to locate leaks in underground pipe networks in his keynote presentation at the COMSOL Conference 2016 Boston.
How to Model an Anechoic Coating
Modeling an anechoic coating involves finding the smallest unit cell, truncating the geometry, and analyzing the wave diffration. The COMSOL® software includes predefined interfaces to do so.
