Which Hardware to Choose for the Optimal Simulation with COMSOL®

Eugen Vambolt1, Johannes Endres1, Michael Mayle1, Fabian Gumpert1, Jan Lohbreier1
1Nuremberg Institute of Technology, Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany

Besides the accuracy of the results, the required computation time is an important factor for simulations in general. Thus, the question arises, that is also discussed in many blog posts, which computer properties influence the computation time. Here, we present findings from a ... Read More

Numerical Simulation of Thermal Resistance and Heat Transfer Coefficients of Textile Structures

Aušra Gadeikytė1, Rimantas Barauskas1
1Kaunas University of Technology, Department of Applied Informatics, Kaunas, Studentu Str. 50-407, LT-51368, Lithuania

This study focuses on the prediction of thermal comfort properties such as the heat transfer coefficient, and thermal resistance coefficient of textiles structures with additional ventilation. The input mass flow rate 0.2 dm3/min and 0.8 dm3/min were taken into account. It should be ... Read More

Quantum–Electromagnetic Coupling in Time Domain Simulations Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
