Comsol simulation technical magazine
released

The 36-page Comsol News 2008 includes a broad range of user-focused articles demonstrating how the Comsol Multiphysics scientific software models and simulates a variety of physics-based systems

Comsol has announced that Comsol News 2008, the newest edition of its technical magazine, is available immediately for scientists, engineers, and researchers worldwide Articles are organized by industry segments, including automotive, aerospace, bio-medical, clean energy design, engineering education, electricity, materials research, manufacturing, and semiconductor testing

Acoustics, electromagnetics, fluid-structure interaction, and structural integrity are among the fields of physics embraced.

Dr Dale Kipp of MatWeb provides a special guest commentary, "Materials Selection in the Information Age".

"Clearing the Air: Life Support for Space Exploration", the cover story, is a good example of the range of applications in the publication.

This report, written by Jim Knox and David Howard, explains how the authors and their teammates on the Life Support Systems Development Team at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Centre use multiphysics in their research to develop crew cabin atmospheric revitalisation systems robust enough for roundtrips to Mars.

More down to earth, in "Electrochemical Machining in Appliance Manufacturing" Dr Ir Redmer Van Tijum explains the role multiphysics modeling plays as Royal Philips Electronics in The Netherlands refines electrochemical machining process parameters to make a better electric shaver.

Readers can also learn that product developers at Zink Imaging in Massachusetts make full-color direct thermal printing a reality or how RocTools in France develops innovative rapid moulding technologies for the composites industry.

In all, Comsol News 2008 has 15 major articles on the worldwide use of multiphysics as well as a number of departments, including tips and tricks from the Comsol Support Desk and partner news.

"Moving from product invention to product development, and then to manufacturing, we have touched on many engineering fields-mechanical, thermal, chemical, and fluid dynamics," said Zink Imaging Research Fellow and Director of the Image Science Lab William Vetterling: "The combination of all these fields in a single approachable tool with a single user interface has significantly lowered the barriers to the use of modeling as a daily tool".
