At Abbott, Freddy Hansen uses multiphysics simulation to model left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) to improve the outlook and quality of life for patients with heart failure. Numerical simulations spanning fluid dynamics, power supply, and thermal management allow him to characterize ... Read More
EPFLoop, from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), designed their pod for the 2018 SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition with the help of multiphysics simulation. They placed in the top three teams worldwide and competed in the final competition in California. Read More
ABB built a digital twin of an electromagnetic flowmeter to mimic an actual flowmeter in a virtual environment. The digital twin, based on multiphysics modeling, enables ABB to improve flowmeter designs and predict device performance under field conditions. Read More
Traditional power boxes are bulky and too large. To design a power box that is more space-conscious, modular, and ready for implementation in smart cities, while also ensuring structural and thermal integrity, Raychem RPG is using multiphysics simulation. Read More
Viega designs residential and commercial radiant heating and cooling systems. By building simulation applications and distributing them to customers, they are able to share the results of their analyses with customers and offer them valuable engineering support. Read More
Veryst Engineering, AltaSim Technologies, and GLL Bio-Med Analytics build applications in COMSOL Multiphysics® and distribute them using COMSOL Server™ and COMSOL Compiler™ to help make their customers' design workflows more efficient. Read More
To design a "smart oven" with solid-state, convection heating, engineers at Illinois Tool Works (ITW) Food Equipment Group turned to multiphysics simulation and specialized applications. The finished product is able to cook food faster and more efficiently than conventional appliances. Read More
To speed up the development process for a gas-insulated, metal-enclosed switchgear (GIS), while significantly reducing costs, Pinggao Group used COMSOL Multiphysics®. They also built a simulation application that enabled collaboration on the design throughout the organization. Read More
At the Fiat Research Center in Italy, Michele Gosso and Antonio Fiumara are working on the development of providing power for electric and hybrid vehicles. The team must combine individual lithium-ion battery pouch cells into battery packs to generate the 350V needed, while providing the ... Read More
This is an application brief describing the concept of Conjugate Heat Transfer, which is important in many industrial processes, such as quenching. In this brief, they simulate the heat transfer with and without phase transformation to analyze the rate of heat dissipation with respect ... Read More
