Overview
Multiphysics Modeling Using COMSOL® rapidly introduces the senior level undergraduate, graduate or professional scientist or engineer to the art and science of computerized modeling for physical systems and devices. It offers a step-by-step modeling methodology through examples that are linked to the Fundamental Laws of Physics through a First Principles Analysis approach. The text explores a breadth of multiphysics models in coordinate systems that range from 1D to 3D and introduces the readers to the numerical analysis modeling techniques employed in the COMSOL® Multiphysics® software. After readers have built and run the examples, they will have a much firmer understanding of the concepts, skills, and benefits acquired from the use of computerized modeling techniques to solve their current technological problems and to explore new areas of application for their particular technological areas of interest.
Synopsis
Intended for the engineering professional or senior level undergraduate and graduate students, Multiphysics Modeling Using COMSOL, presents a problem-solving methodology, based on multiphysics modeling and physics First Principles, for the solution of the difficult problems that are typically found during the development of new thermal, electrical, electronic, and electromagnetic devices, sensors and systems. The text also introduces the readers to the numerical analysis modeling techniques employed in the COMSOL multiphysics software. It further discusses the application of these techniques to the solution of the varied difficult engineering problem types typically found in today's high tech physical world.
