Multiphysics Simulation to Improve Design of Renewable Energy Production
Simulation plays a critical role in developing new technologies — and technologies that power our world using renewable sources are no exception. The challenge is scaling the amount of energy generated from renewable resources quickly in order to reduce reliance on nonrenewable resources such as oil and natural gas.
Engineers address this challenge by using advanced computational simulations to determine design feasibility. Simulation experiments allow engineers to test new ideas rapidly and encourage creative problem-solving.
Many renewable engineering sources contain multiple physics (e.g., mechanical, thermal, fluid flow, and phase changes) operating concurrently, making multiphysics simulation an excellent tool for simulating the different aspects of renewable energy production.
A live demonstration of heat transfer simulation including phase changes using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software will show you how:
Multiphysics simulation captures the physical behavior of heat transfer better than single-physics simulationsEngineers can conduct experiments that would otherwise be cost-prohibitiveEngineers can improve their understanding of the production of energy using renewable sourcesCompanies can reduce the time and cost required to develop new methods of producing renewable energy
