This paper presents the use of the multiphysics package COMSOL for teaching heat and moisture transport modeling in the research area of building physics. It includes a description on how COMSOL works and six exercises with 2D, 3D, steady state and transient models. It is concluded that ... Read More
Although we know the physics inside a media where the sound waves propagate, determination of material\'s or structure\'s sound reduction index is not an easy task. The lack of good engineering solutions proves the point. The only reliable way to calculate the sound reduction index is ... Read More
Double walls provide stability to the structure and separate the controlled indoor climate from the outdoor fluctuating environment. In this study we want to receive more insight in the heat exchange between the walls through the cavity in between, by computer simulations and ... Read More
Phase change materials (PCMs), including shape memory alloys (SMAs), often exhibit thermal hysteresis behavior during phase transitions. Traditional modeling approaches employ binary or threshold-based phase transition models, which is often sufficient for steady-state applications or ... Read More
Laser-induced photovoltage in ferromagnetic thin films is often explained by magneto-thermoelectric effects such as the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE). ANE appears when thermal gradients interact with magnetization. While power loss in flat films can be estimated analytically, numerical ... Read More
This work presents a comprehensive modeling and validation study of MEMS-based infrared (IR) emitter chips using a neural network-assisted inverse modeling approach in COMSOL Multiphysics. Starting from a single baseline chip geometry, a simulation model was developed that captures the ... Read More
This work addresses the critical challenge of accurately determining the inner states of three-phase electric smelting furnaces, commonly used in ferro-alloy and silicon production. Gaining insights into these internal states is crucial for optimizing furnace performance, energy ... Read More
A model of an office room was created in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to simulate heat transfer and study the impact of siting a mass of phase change material (PCM) in a room to increase thermal comfort. This study determined that incorporating the selected PCM, butyl stearate, in ... Read More
Calculating time-dependent heat and moisture transports trough building components are important tasks in the area of building physics. A well known and worldwide used commercial software for this is WUFI®. From the scientific point of view the restricted access to governing equations is ... Read More
In Europe considerable building activity can be expected over the coming decades; Net Zero Energy Buildings refers to a building with minimal power, until maximum 15 kW/m^2. In both cases this requires very well insulated buildings with minimal thermal bridges. Concrete balconies, that ... Read More
