Objective
This course provides an introduction to performing heat transfer analysis using COMSOL Multiphysics®. The course covers:
- Implementation of the governing equations for heat transfer
- Analysis of conduction, convection and radiation
- Boundary conditions and mesh refinement for heat transfer analyses
- Heat transfer with phase changing material
- Heat transfer in biological systems
- Heat transfer in pipes
- Application to a range of heat transfer problems
For success, it is recommended that participants have a working knowledge of COMSOL Multiphysics® and possess a relevant engineering, physics, mathematics, or science background.
Paid participants will receive all course materials including a two-week trial license for the entire COMSOL Multiphysics® Suite for use during the course.
Course Content
Attendees will be led through the use of COMSOL Multiphysics® to perform a range of solid mechanics analyses. Topics covered are:
- The fundamental principles governing heat transfer analysis
- Set up of heat transfer analyses in COMSOL
- Analysis of conductive heat transfer in materials with anisotropic thermal conductivity
- Analysis of convective cooling using heat flux boundary conditions
- Analysis of convective cooling using fluid flow conditions
- Use of infinite elements in heat transfer problems
- Heat transfer with phase change
- Evaporation and condensation
- Heat transfer in biological systems (e.g., thermal tissue ablation)
- Heat transfer in piping systems

Hear What Our Students are Saying
"I took the Multiphysics Solutions using COMSOL Multiphysics: An Introductory Training Course. It helped me jump start my understanding of COMSOL and how to build simulation models as well as visualize the results. I don’t regularly use COMSOL in my daily work so it is hard to remember all I learned. As a result, I often refer back to the class notes to help me remember how to do a specific task or what settings are needed to accomplish a specific action. The class and notes are valuable as a reference. AltaSim does a good job of training their students. I would recommend them for COMSOL training."
- Jim Vinson ~~ Renesas Electronics Corp.
"I attended two training courses titled "Electromagnetics in COMSOL Multiphysics: AC/DC" and "RF and Wave Optics" where I gained the necessary fundamental knowledge to dig deeper and obtain what is needed to enhance my research work. The efforts Dr. Yushanov invested in delivering the fundamental concepts have greatly helped to strengthen my understanding in building models and run simulations efficiently. These courses have also helped me to gain the required knowledge within a relatively short period of time. Thus, AltaSim Technologies, given its prestigious reputation in COMSOL training, is and will always be my first choice for training courses, as it provides all required knowledge for the most ideal habitat for my career aspiration in performing academic research."
