Fluid Mechanics & Heat Transfer in COMSOL Multiphysics is a specialized online course offered by the Multiphysics Modeling School at the University of Málaga.
Designed for engineers, scientists and students, the course develops practical skills for simulating single-phase and multiphase flows, porous media, thermal systems and coupled phenomena.
The program connects computational fluid dynamics, porous-media transport, heat transfer and multiphysics couplings through four coordinated subjects.
Focused on fluid, thermal and porous-media modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics.
Online live classes, recorded for later viewing.
From laminar and turbulent flows to porous media, thermal systems and coupled phenomena.
Certificate issued by the University of Málaga upon completion.
Laminar and turbulent single-phase flows, multiphase interfaces, rotating machinery and specialized industrial flows.
Darcy, Brinkman and variably saturated flows, non-Darcian effects, heat and moisture transport, and applications.
Conduction, convection and radiation, thermal interfaces, phase change, moisture transport and multiphysics heating.
Uni- and bidirectional couplings, coupling levels, manual strategies and the main multiphysics nodes for advanced models.
Academic period: from January to March, 2027. On average, about 5 weekly hours of online classes will be scheduled, distributed from Monday to Friday.
All online classes will be recorded and available to students for later viewing. Use the time-zone selector to check the class times in your location.
