Happy Birthday, Pierre-Simon Laplace
Pierre-Simon Laplace contributed to celestial mechanics and helped develop an equation for pressure across a curved surface. He also had his demons. The Laplace demon thought experiment, that is.
How to Use Interpolated Material Data to Model Irregular Geometries
Learn how to model an irregular geometry in COMSOL Multiphysics® by importing material data. The example featured here is for an RF simulation of a human head.
How to Use the Boundary Element Method in Acoustics Modeling
Learn advantages and strategies for using the boundary element method (BEM) for acoustics modeling. Plus, we go over a hybrid approach that combines BEM with the finite element method (FEM).
Modeling Phase Change in a Thermosiphon
A guest blogger from Noumenon Multiphysics writes about modeling phase change in a thermosiphon, a device that has been keeping houses warm since the 1800s.
How to Run on Clusters from the COMSOL Desktop® Environment
