Making a Recipe for the Perfect Soft-Boiled Egg with Simulation
In a physics course at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e), students investigate the science behind cooking the perfect soft-boiled egg using simulation and real-world experimentation.
Modeling Thermal Ablation for Material Removal
When certain materials are heated to a certain point, they go directly from the solid to the gas phase in a process called ablation. Learn how to model the thermal ablation process here.
Creating an App to Prevent Buckling in a Truss Tower Design
A simulation app can be used to calculate the critical compressive load for different truss tower configurations. We demonstrate such an app, which can be used as inspiration for your own, here.
Analyze Violin Tone and Volume with Multiphysics Modeling
What is the purpose of those f-shaped holes in a violin? As it turns out, both the body of a violin and shape of its holes greatly affect its tone and volume.
Designing an App to Analyze Stress in a Pressure Vessel
Learn how to use the Application Builder in COMSOL Multiphysics® to create an efficient and accurate design workflow, using an example of a pressure vessel design app.
Studying Transient Heat Transfer in a Fin Design with an App
A guest blogger and author presents a simulation app that he designed to study transient heat transfer in a nonprismatic fin.
Control Current and Voltage Sources with the AC/DC Module
Did you know that you can use the Terminal boundary condition to dynamically switch between excitation types during a transient simulation? This is useful for modeling power supply, for example.
Multiphysics Simulation Provides Accurate Muffler Designs
A guest blogger from Lightness by Design, a COMSOL Certified Consultant, shares how multiphysics simulation provides accurate results when designing automotive mufflers.
