Multiphysics Modeling using COMSOL by Laxmi Publications

COMSOL Multiphysics software is the most widely used modeling tool for engineers and scientists. It allows the user to create 1D, 2D and 3D simulated environments for computerized modeling of physical systems and devices. Designed for the senior level undergraduate, graduate, or the professional scientist or engineer, Multiphysics Modeling Using COMSOL 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.
