Learn the fundamental workflow of COMSOL Multiphysics®. This introductory demonstration will show you all of the key modeling steps, including geometry creation, setting up physics, meshing, solving, and evaluating and visualizing results.
COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.3 provides specialized new features for geometry creation, meshing, and CAD integration, improving the efficiency of model setup. Automatic detection and removal of small details and gaps in CAD models enable more robust mesh generation and efficient models. A new mesh element sizing algorithm ensures accurate resolution of geometric features. Physics-controlled meshing now supports imported STL files, and enhanced operations such as edge extrusion and revolutions improve flexibility in geometry creation. Additional new functionality includes virtual operations for face merging as well as easier swept meshing.
Important updates for the add-on products featuring CAD functionality include the ability to select specific components from assemblies, create variable radius and constant width fillets, and project edges to faces. For PCB design, users can now import component outlines and create plated vias, with added support for ECAD export in OASIS format.

In this session, Rama Raju Vegesna, a computational researcher at the Shell Technology Center Bangalore (STCB), will discuss Shell's energy transition goals and the central role technology plays in achieving them. He will highlight the effectiveness of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software in modeling battery thermal management with Shell EV-Plus. Shell EV-Plus offers a wide range of fluids for industrial and automotive applications, with their thermal management fluid playing a key role in immersion cooling applications. Vegesna will discuss how COMSOL Multiphysics® is used to design, optimize, and study the edge cases of battery packs for various original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) collaborating with Shell to bring immersion-cooled battery packs to the market. He will also cover other examples, such as modeling electrolyzers for green hydrogen and modeling thermal storage in COMSOL®.
COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.3 introduces the new Electric Discharge Module for simulations of discharges in gases, liquids, and solids, as well as several new features and significant improvements to electromagnetics modeling.

The release also introduces homogenized litz coil conductor modeling, accounting for strand count, DC resistance, and high-frequency loss. Additionally, electrostatic force calculations for MEMS devices are now more accurate, and new functionality enables the simulation of dielectric dispersion in biological tissues.
For transmission line modeling, version 6.3 offers RLGC parameter calculation, time-domain analysis, and a streamlined workflow for handling periodic structures in wave optics. In ray optics, users can now benefit from the automatic generation of spot diagrams and geometric modulation transfer function (MTF) plots. The release also enhances semiconductor device modeling with accurate leakage current calculations and introduces dedicated interfaces for nonisothermal plasma flow simulations.

Dr. K.R. Sreenivas, Jawaharlal Nehru Center for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR)
In this keynote talk, Dr. K.R. Sreenivas will discuss the intricate interplay of radiative cooling and aerosol loading on the development of penetrative convection within the nocturnal boundary layer. Under calm, clear skies, the surface layer, laden with aerosols, undergoes significant radiative cooling, influencing the vertical temperature profile up to several hundred meters.
This cooling process leads to the formation of a stable nocturnal inversion layer. However, the ground, possessing higher thermal inertia, cools more slowly. This disparity in cooling rates results in the formation of a cooler air layer near the surface, typically between 2°C and 6°C cooler than the ground. This temperature difference drives an unstable convective layer at the surface, effectively capped by the stable inversion layer above.
This unique configuration, a classic example of penetrative convection, exerts a profound influence on crucial micrometeorological phenomena such as fog formation and heat transport. Dr. Sreenivas will present a computational study that explores the effects of radiative cooling and aerosol loading on the onset and characteristics of this convective activity.
COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.3 introduces a range of new features and improvements for electrochemical and chemical reaction engineering simulations. For battery design, the release includes a new two-electrode lumped model and single-particle electrode options, extending the capabilities for simplified and lumped model analysis of battery performance and behavior. Additionally, a demonstration app for analyzing battery test cycles features new functionality for time-dependent surrogate modeling. Furthermore, modeling of concentrated electrolytes in electrochemical cells is now available in all electrochemistry products.
In chemical reaction engineering, new capabilities for simulation of precipitation and crystallization enable users to model particle nucleation and growth while accounting for particle size distributions. A new tool for generating space-dependent models simplifies the setup of turbulent reacting flow simulations by automatically coupling turbulence, chemical species transport, and heat transfer.

Dr. Pradip Dutta, Indian Institute of Science
In recent years, there has been a strong emphasis on clean energy generation, storage, and usage. The inherent complexity of these systems necessitates a multiphysics modeling approach. During this session, Dr. Pradip Dutta will talk about different clean energy systems that his team is involved in developing. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software is proven to be an ideal tool for the simulation and design of such systems, which will be demonstrated through a few case studies on solar energy and sorption-based gas storage systems.
COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.3 introduces a range of new features for fluid flow and heat transfer modeling. Reynolds-stress turbulence models enable accurate simulations of secondary flows in ducts and flows with strong swirl or mean rotation, and a new kinetic energy option enhances simulations of high Mach number flows. Shear-induced migration in multiphase flow modeling supports applications such as particle fractionation and microfiltration. The new mixing plane functionality simplifies the modeling of pumps, turbines, and other rotating machinery. Additionally, the release introduces tools for simulating non-Newtonian flow in porous media.
Heat transfer modeling is extended with a repeating unit cell method for composites and porous media, alongside a forward ray-shooting technique for improved accuracy in external radiation. Performance improvements include faster surface-to-surface radiation simulations for large models and enhanced workflows for fast drying simulations using nonequilibrium moisture transport.

COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.3 introduces new capabilities and performance improvements for structural mechanics and acoustics simulations.
For structural mechanics, highlights include electromechanical modeling for shells and membranes, moisture-induced shrinkage and swelling simulations, and efficient tools for spot welds and fasteners. New interior boundary contact conditions eliminate the need for contact pairs, and viscoelastic time-domain simulations incorporate frequency-dependent material properties. Additional updates include geometry modeling for random particulate composites, a lattice geometry part library, and up to 50% faster plasticity computations, with added support for pressure-dependent plasticity in foams.
For acoustics, GPU acceleration enables time-explicit pressure acoustics simulations that are up to 25x faster. Time-domain modeling now supports frequency-dependent material properties, and the sequential linearized Navier–Stokes (SLNS) model provides faster thermoviscous acoustics computations. Updates also include tools for anisotropic poroacoustics modeling.
