Modeling Marangoni Convection with COMSOL Multiphysics
When a surface gradient is temperature dependent, the Marangoni effect is called Marangoni convection. Learn how to analyze Marangoni convection in COMSOL Multiphysics®.

Modeling Laser-Material Interactions in COMSOL Multiphysics
When it comes to modeling laser-material interactions and heating, different modeling techniques are appropriate for different problems. We go over a few examples here >>

Protecting Aircraft Composites from Lightning Strike Damage
Some aircraft have a protective coating to mitigate damage from lightning strikes. Boeing used multiphysics simulation to evaluate thermal stress and displacement in this layer.

App: Studying a Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger’s Dimensions
The Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger Dimensioning Tool demo app is an example of what is possible when you build a simplified version of a model and share it throughout your organization.

Optimizing Heat Sink Designs with a Simulation App
The Heat Sink with Fins demo app is here to get you started with designing your own heat sink design app. Take a look at the design scenario, app, and underlying model here.

Modeling Laser-Material Interactions with the Beer-Lambert Law
Did you know that you can use the Beer–Lambert law to model laser–material interactions in COMSOL Multiphysics®? Learn how here.

How Can I Build an Efficient Stirling Heat Pump?
Did you know that heat pumps are also called Stirling engines? These systems can operate on incredibly low temperature differences — some only need human body heat to work!

Using the Boussinesq Approximation for Natural Convection
Today, we compare the Boussinesq approximation to the full Navier-Stokes equations for a natural convection problem. We also show you how to implement the Boussinesq approximation in COMSOL Multiphysics software and discuss potential benefits of doing so.
