THE 'FINAL' FRONTIER OF MODELING. The search for appropriate models needs to be constantly re-evaluated — not just for theoretical reasons, but also for practical reasons such as the current state of hardware capabilities! Read more…
WHAT IS MODELING. What is modeling? Is it an art or a science? It is the art of creating mathematical descriptions of physical phenomena! Read more…
WHAT IS SIMULATION. Simulation is the art of using mathematical models to approximate reality inside a computer. When used correctly, it proves to be an extremely efficient and beneficial tool for the industry. Read more…
MODELING & THE INDUSTRY. Industry depends on physical phenomena. This much is easy to assert. Two questions arise — first, are mathematical models of such phenomena important, and, second, don't they already exist in textbooks anyway? Read more…
DATA DRIVEN VS. PHYSICS AWARE MODELING. The most basic or “data driven” form of modeling involves performing a lot of experiments, and finding a mathematical relation that best explains all the data that comes out. Read more…
A NEW APPROACH TO MODELING PHASE CHANGE Modeling a flow that involves phase change can be computationally demanding. The usual approach involving two separate phase domains (with a tracking interface in between) has many disadvantages. Can these be overcome by using a single “pseudofluid” domain? Read more about it in our COMSOL blog written by Mandar - Modeling Phase Change in a Thermosiphon.
