Numerical Modelling & Simulation within the Space Industry

In this session, we will be exploring how numerical modelling and simulation can be leveraged in the space industry, outlining key advantages and benefits. Numerical modelling is widely applied within the space sector to great success. We will highlight several case studies from the COMSOL Multiphysics® users, covering applications ranging from rocket engine instabilities analysis to satellite motor design. The talk will also include a focused use case, looking at the thermal modelling of a CubeSat with COMSOL Multiphysics®. The modelling process will be outlined to highlight the software’s capability to create accurate numerical models of real-world devices. Key Takeaways - Understand the advantages and benefits that modelling and simulation bring to the space industry - Explore some user stories about how COMSOL Multiphysics® has already been used in the space sector - Examine a specific use case for the thermal modelling of a CubeSat
