Thermal Stress: A stator blade in the turbine
stage of a jet engine is heated by combustion gases, where the
resulting temperature gradients introduce significant stresses. To
prevent the stator from melting, air is passed through a cooling duct
in the blade. Shown is the temperature distribution throughout the
blade and in the flow stream.
COMSOL Multiphysics®
The COMSOL Multiphysics engineering simulation software environment
facilitates all steps in the modeling process − defining your geometry,
meshing, specifying your physics, solving, and then visualizing your
results.
Model set-up is quick, thanks to a number of predefined physics
interfaces for applications ranging from fluid flow and heat transfer
to structural mechanics and electromagnetic analyses. Material
properties, source terms and boundary conditions can all be arbitrary
functions of the dependent variables.
Predefined multiphysics-application templates solve many common
problem types. You also have the option of choosing different physics
and defining the interdependencies yourself. Or you can specify your own
partial differential equations (PDEs) and link them with other
equations and physics.
