ProjectsCOMSOL Simulations

With access to the full COMSOL Multiphysics® software suite, a wide variety of simulations have been developed to address engineering challenges, solve complex issues in physical systems, and optimize design iterations.

The individual modules simplify the simulation development by focusing on the key boundary conditions and input parameters necessary for defining an appropriate model. Our expertise is primarily focused on heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and electromagnetics.

Time domain thermal simulation of a vacuum calorimeter system
Time domain thermal simulation of a vacuum calorimeter system measured with 1 W heating power input.
Steady state fluid flow simulation of a water-cooling block
Steady state fluid flow simulation of the water-cooling block designed for the vacuum calorimeter system.
Fluid flow simulation of an open-air differential calorimeter, first view Fluid flow simulation of an open-air differential calorimeter, second view
Fluid flow simulations of an open-air differential calorimeter were used to study the effect of the insulating medium used to surround the experimental container.
2D electric field simulation of a high voltage SiC MOSFET package
2D electric field simulation of a high voltage SiC MOSFET package. An electrical breakdown was audibly detected; however, the location of the arcing was not visible. The simulation model was developed to determine the likely arcing location so that an appropriate solution could be implemented.
