INTRODUCTION
Seeing the Bigger
Picture with Simulation
Whether it is a mountain landscape or an up-close view of
a jaguar's face, the pieces of a puzzle seamlessly connect to
reveal a bigger picture. Like puzzle pieces, every component
in a design or process must function properly on their own
and work well together. Every day, engineers, scientists, and
researchers around the world use multiphysics modeling
and simulation to understand and optimize the individual
pieces that make up the complete system. We have compiled
several of their inspiring stories in this year's edition of
COMSOL News.
On page 10a, you will meet a team from the Toyota
Research Institute of North America that came up with a
simulation-driven methodology for optimizing flow field
microchannel plates, ultimately furthering the development
of hydrogen-powered vehicles. You will also find a story
about how Zeugin Bauberatungen is analyzing how soundabsorbing
curtains and foam panels help reduce noise
distractions in open-plan office designs.
In addition, there are articles on the creation and
deployment of simulation apps for analyzing specific aspects
of large-scale processes. One example shows how simulation
apps are used for predicting the shelf life of fresh produce,
thereby improving the use of refrigerated food storage
in developing countries. Another story features an app
that helps construction teams make informed decisions
throughout each project to avoid overspending while
delivering the best results possible.
This year, we are also sharing a few articles with tips and
inspiration on topics like visualization, 3D motor modeling,
and MEMS devices. No matter the field or the application,
great designs come together when each piece is optimized
with the bigger picture in mind.
