Piezoelectric Materials: Understanding the Standards

October 2, 2014

Get a comprehensive overview of the multiple standards used to describe piezoelectric materials in literature. The post particularly focuses on quartz but the standards can apply to any material.

How to Get the Most out of Arrow Plots in COMSOL Multiphysics

September 30, 2014

What are arrow plots and why are they useful? We answer these questions and demonstrate how to use this feature in this installment of our postprocessing series.

Improving the Beer Brewing Process with Simulation

September 26, 2014

Which side of home beer brewing are you more interested in: The culinary side, like the recipes and ingredients, or the engineering one, like the conjugate heat transfer and chemical reactions?

Sometimes a Cigar Is More Than Just a Cigar

September 10, 2014

Are you a casual stogie fan? A cigar aficionado? We show off a simple model of a cigar to study the temperature distribution of the smoke and concentration of oxygen.

Surface, Volume, and Line Plots: Visualizing Results on a Heat Sink

September 1, 2014

3 of the most common plot types used in postprocessing: surface, volume, and line plots. Learn how to use these plot types for your simulation results and when to use each option.

Combining Parallel Slices to Create an Animation

August 26, 2014

Want to animate how your 3D steady-state model’s solution is changing along a certain direction? You can do so by combining parallel slices. We demonstrate the 3-step process…

Modeling a Coil Heat Exchanger

August 21, 2014

Coil heat exchangers are simple and easy to manufacture — but what about modeling them? Adding expressions to compute the temperature drop between coil turns simplifies the modeling process.

How to Obtain Oil Cost-Effectively with Multilateral Wells

August 18, 2014
