Modeling Laser-Material Interactions with the Beer-Lambert Law
Did you know that you can use the Beer–Lambert law to model laser–material interactions in COMSOL Multiphysics®? Learn how here.

How Can I Build an Efficient Stirling Heat Pump?
Did you know that heat pumps are also called Stirling engines? These systems can operate on incredibly low temperature differences — some only need human body heat to work!

Using the Boussinesq Approximation for Natural Convection
Today, we compare the Boussinesq approximation to the full Navier-Stokes equations for a natural convection problem. We also show you how to implement the Boussinesq approximation in COMSOL Multiphysics software and discuss potential benefits of doing so.

Studying the Airflow Over a Car Using an Ahmed Body
