Wave propagation problems require sufficient mesh refinement to ensure twelve degrees of freedom per wavelength. This requirement develops from the error associated with approximating a sine wave with a polynomial. AltaSim Technologies shares this type of information regularly with users of the COMSOL Multiphysics software through our Tips and Tricks. If you are interested in […]

Thermal Management: A growing concern The demand for compact, multi-functional, high performance electronics has led to a dramatic increase in the power density of devices. In particular, the thermal dissipation per area of chip and per volume of system enclosure has increased dramatically in the last decade. To make matters worse, system-level requirements for small
