Simulating a Valveless Micropump Mechanism
Valveless micropumps are integral to many microfluidic systems. Simulation can be used to study the fluid–structure interaction occurring in these components to improve their performance.
Finding Buried Objects Using Seismic Surface Waves
Could spectral analysis of seismic surface waves help find a buried object? Learn about this novel method here.
What Is a Weak Constraint?
In COMSOL Multiphysics®, you often have the option to use a weak constraint. Get an in-depth introduction to this feature and why you may want to use it here.
Analyzing the “Muscles” of a Robotic Manta Ray
Robotic manta rays allow scientists to gather data for marine biodiversity studies. Find out how simulation can be used to analyze the “muscles” of these soft robots.
Model Variations of a Comb-Drive Tuning Fork Rate Gyroscope
Explore 3 gyroscope models to see the benefits of equation-based modeling, how modeling can capture the impact of manufacturing variations, and more.
Modeling Electromigration in COMSOL Multiphysics®
Computers, smartphones, and other devices rely on integrated circuits. Over time, an interconnect can experience damage due to electromigration. Explore how to model this phenomenon here.
Understanding Different Types of Interaction Curves
What would be the effect if you combine 2 or more independent sources? In this blog post, we introduce interaction curves and discuss how they can be used to help answer this question.
Why Sounds Travel Farther at Night
Why do sounds travel father at night? In this blog post, we answer this question with COMSOL Multiphysics® and its ray-tracing method.
