The course is taught across the Master’s Degree tracks, connecting physical coupling theory with practical multiphysics simulation workflows.
This course comprises the basic description of couplings and the main multiphysics couplings used in COMSOL Multiphysics.
The course starts with an introduction to multiphysics and the classification of uni- and bi-directional couplings.
Students review the three levels of couplings using different examples, together with the techniques available to efficiently solve highly multiphysics problems.
The second part focuses on the theoretical description and configuration of the main multiphysics nodes available, including mechanical-heat, fluid-heat, fluid-chemical, chemical-heat, fluid-structure, acoustic-structure and mechanical-electromagnetism couplings.
Core tools covered include uni- and bi-directional couplings, manual couplings, multiphysics node configuration and strategies for solving strongly coupled models.
