COMSOL CONFERENCE

Focus Session: Best Practices in Heat
Transfer & Phase Change Simulation
LOCATION
Salon G
Thursday October 8th
2:45 pm - 4:15 pm
SESSION CHAIR
Nicolas Huc
COMSOL France
This discussion-oriented session is
devoted to phase change modeling in heat
transfer simulations. The great interest in
phase change comes from the outstanding
thermal performance that it enables in
particular for cooling or thermal protection
applications. An overview of the methods
available in the Heat Transfer Module is
presented. Criteria for reliable simulation of
phase change will be discussed, as well as
common issues observed in pure heat transfer
and multiphysics simulations.
