The Magnus Effect
The Magnus effect explains the curl that soccer players can give the ball, resulting in the enjoyable goals that we can see in every FIFA World Cup™. This model looks at the Magnus effect in the laminar and turbulent flow regimes for transient and stationary flows. It also discusses the simulation results and relates them to experimental measurements on soccer balls found in the literature. ...
Modeling Deforming Meshes
This presentation and series of models show how to use the Deformed Mesh interfaces to model small and large translations and rotations of objects. A more detailed description of these models can be seen in the blog post [Model Translational Motion with the Deformed Mesh Interfaces](https://www.comsol.com/blogs/model-translational-motion-with-the-deformed-mesh-interfaces/) and [Deformed Mesh Interfaces: Rotations and Linear Translations](https://www.comsol.com/blogs/deformed-mesh-interfaces-rotations-and-linear-translations/) ...
Modeling of Material Heating via the Beer-Lambert Law
This example exemplifies how to model the Beer-Lambert law using the core functionality of COMSOL Multiphysics. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "[Modeling Laser-Material Interactions with the Beer-Lambert Law](https://www.comsol.com/blogs/modeling-laser-material-interactions-with-the-beer-lambert-law/)".
Thermal Impact of a Borehole Heat Exchanger Array
This model shows how to compute an array of borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) for shallow geothermal energy production. The BHEs are simplified as cylindrical heat sinks with a uniform heat extraction rate. The array is embedded into a layered subsurface model with groundwater flow in one of the layers. For more details, please see the blog post "[Modeling Geothermal Processes with COMSOL Software](https://www.comsol.com/blogs/modeling-geothermal-processes-comsol-software/) ...
Sedan Interior Acoustics
This is a model of the acoustics inside a sedan, that is inside a typical hard-top family car. The model sets up sources at loudspeaker locations as well as impedance conditions to model soft absorbing surfaces for the seats, carpet, and roof lining. The model results in plots of the pressure, sound pressure level, and intensity inside the car. These are important tools to visualize the ...
Busbar, AC Analysis
This is a busbar configuration with an AC analysis. The configuration is similar to the introductory tutorial in the book Introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics. However, two conductors are added to represent a more realistic case of magnetic fields surrounding the busbar. The results include Lorentz forces, induced currents, magnetic flux, and temperature.
Shape Optimization of a Capacitor Design
This example exemplifies how to optimize the design of a capacitor through optimization. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "[Changing the Dimensions of a Model Using Shape Optimization](https://www.comsol.com/blogs/changing-the-dimensions-of-a-model-using-shape-optimization/)".
Using COMSOL Models Together with Curve Fitting
This example exemplifies how curve fitting can be performed in COMSOL Multiphysics®, and how this can be applied to your modeling. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "[Curve Fitting of Experimental Data with COMSOL Multiphysics](https://www.comsol.com/blogs/curve-fitting-of-experimental-data-with-comsol-multiphysics/)".
Switched Reluctance Motor
Switched reluctance motors work on the principle of reluctance torque. The stator and rotor will interact so as to minimize the reluctance for the flux path. This application simulates the behavior of the motor when the stator winding is excited with a step voltage and the rotor being standstill. The magnetic core has a non-linear B-H relationship. Current drawn by the stator winding, torque ...
Axial Homopolar Induction Bearing in 3D
This model illustrates the working principle of an axial homopolar induction bearing. An electrically conducting rotor rotating in a magnetic field produced by a permanent magnets induces eddy currents on the conducting rotor. The eddy currents, in turn, produce a magnetic field that opposes the magnetic fields by the magnets and induces a force that opposes the motion of the rotor. The axial ...
