Modeling Acoustic–Structure Interaction in Kaplan Turbine Blades Using COMSOL®
Learn how surrounding media can affect structural vibrations and see an alternative to the traditional “added mass” approach for accounting for these effects in simulations.
Modeling the Beautiful Game: From Ball Design to Power Trivelas
Let’s explore the aerodynamics of the 2026 FIFA World Cup® ball, the Adidas Trionda®, and the trivela technique.
Reduced-Order Modeling of Ultrasonic Pipe Measurements
A guest blogger from SINTEF demonstrates how they use 2D axisymmetric simplification to reduce computation time for their pulse-echo simulations.
Simulating Tissue Biomechanics During Suction Therapies
To gain a better understanding of the tissue biomechanics involved in cupping therapy, a research team from the University of Massachusetts, Lowell turned to simulation.
Detecting Corrosion in Embedded Pipelines Using Simulation
A new approach uses guided waves excited by EMAT-based systems to detect corrosion in embedded pressure pipelines. Let’s analyze the guided waves using simulation.
3 Real-World Uses of Simulation in the Manufacturing Industry
Modeling and simulation enable those working in the manufacturing industry to optimize designs while cutting down on costs, resources, and time — without sacrificing precision. Explore 3 examples.
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.
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.
