Multiphysics Modeling School (MMS)

Multiphysics is a computational modeling tool that involves simulations in which multiple physical models or multiple simultaneous physical phenomena are present, and usually involves solving coupled systems of partial differential equations. For example, it is used in the computational analysis of processes and systems dealing with coupled phenomena related to fluid dynamics, heat transfer, structural mechanics, acoustics, electromagnetism, optics, chemical kinetics, molecular dynamics, etc.

The University of Malaga has created the Multiphysics Modeling School (MMS) [1], which offers four Master's Degree programs in COMSOL Multiphysics Modeling, based on specific concentration courses. Thus, they offer the following master’s degrees:

• Master's Degree in COMSOL Multiphysics Modeling: Electromagnetism & Optics
• Master's Degree in COMSOL Multiphysics Modeling: Structural Mechanics & Acoustic
• Master's Degree in COMSOL Multiphysics Modeling: Fluid Dynamics & Heat Transfer
• Master's Degree in COMSOL Multiphysics Modeling: Chemical Engineering & Electrochemistry

Each master’s degree program will be given from October 2023 to June 2024 and will be taught entirely online and in English. Completed the enrollment process [2], students will have access to COMSOL Multiphysics software (academic license).

Participants will take basic and advanced subjects necessary for professional modeling, such as Mathematical Foundations, Basic Methods in COMSOL Multiphysics, Geometry, Materials and Meshing, Studies and Solvers, Results, Basic Physics and Mathematical Interfaces, Physics Builder, Application Builder, Optimization, MATLAB and COMSOL Multiphysics, and Java Methods in COMSOL Multiphysics.

The faculty of the Multiphysics Modeling School consists of a combination of experts from different universities, technology companies and COMSOL itself. In addition to representing an excellent opportunity for academic and professional training, it is very interesting to add to the skills and knowledge catalog of today's scientists and engineers. In fact, the number of scientific publications incorporating multiphysics modeling has increased exponentially year after year. This fact is evidence that possessing good multiphysics modeling skills increases the quality and quantity of research papers and has a direct impact on the success of a scientific or technological career.

The multiphysics modeling techniques we teach in our programs provide a number of benefits for engineers, scientists and technology companies:

• Detailed and in-depth understanding of the mechanisms underlying systems and phenomena that are often beyond experimental reach.
• Validation of governing equations by comparison with experimental data.
• Generation of highly realistic digital twins.
• Accuracy and optimization of all types of designs, products, and devices.
• Increases the versatility and efficiency of design and optimization tasks.
• It enables R&D departments to create complex models of their systems and devices.
• Product and process performance can be optimized, and potential problems can be solved, saving time, work, and subsequent costs.
• Efficiency of the R&D process in technology and industrial companies, which will ultimately result in improved company competitiveness.

Stay tuned for the upcoming news where we will describe each master’s concentration.
