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.
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.
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.
