How to Implement a Point Source with the Weak Form
Learn how to implement a point source with the weak form in the COMSOL® software. Part 2 of a blog series discussing the weak formulation.
Studying Salt Damage to the World’s Crumbling Buildings
We sometimes hear of tourists getting into trouble for carving their initials into the walls of the Coliseum in Rome and other famous structures. However, the more serious damage to this architecture is caused by something else entirely — salt. Transported by wind and water droplets, and even found in some building materials, salt is a powerful mineral that can cause a building’s façade to crumble and break. Researchers studied this effect to better predict salt’s behavior and prevent damage.
How to Build an App from a COMSOL Multiphysics® Model
Get a brief intro to building a simulation app from a COMSOL Multiphysics® model using the Application Builder. Includes a 10-minute step-by-step tutorial video.
Happy Birthday, Erwin Schrödinger
We discuss the life and work of the legendary physicist behind Schrödinger’s cat, the Schrödinger equation, and more: Erwin Schrödinger.
Using General Extrusion Operators to Model Periodic Structures
If your multiphysics model includes a periodic solution to one physics and nonperiodic solutions to other physics of interest, you can exploit the periodicity to reduce computational requirements!
NREL Enhances Biofuel Conversion Processes with Simulation
In an attempt to make biofuel conversion more efficient and cost effective, researchers at NREL used simulation to study and optimize such processes. Get the full story >>
Avoiding Ship Hull Corrosion with ICCP and Simulation
Did you know that the ocean is an electrolyte? Corrosion commonly seen on ship hulls occurs when there are areas with different potentials within such an electrolyte — saltwater, in this case.
Computing Design Sensitivities in COMSOL Multiphysics
You can compute design sensitivities via the core functionality of COMSOL Multiphysics®. We show you how with a parallel plate capacitor example.
