Tracking Performance in the Beautiful Game
The official match ball for the 2026 FIFA World Cup® has sensors embedded in it that allow for real-time tracking and analysis. For fun, we take a look at how to model such sensors with COMSOL Multiphysics®.
Modeling Lined Rock Caverns for Underground Hydrogen Storage
Lined rock caverns can store hydrogen, but their safety depends on interactions between hydrogen gas, rock masses, and structural linings…
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.
Modeling Surface Acoustic Wave-Induced Streaming in a Droplet
Surface acoustic waves are capable of generating a streaming flow inside a droplet, enabling contactless mixing. Learn how this process can be simulated here.
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.
Simulating the Acoustics of an Open-Plan Office Space
Open-plan offices offer a collaborative workspace, however, they also allow for noise distractions. To improve the acoustical conditions of these spaces, engineers can turn to simulation.
