Case Study: Nokia Bell Labs achieves low-energy cooling design insights with COMSOL Multiphysics

Nokia Bell Labs optimizes oscillating piezoelectric fan cooling with Comsol

Nokia Bell Labs, a customer of Comsol, faced the challenge of cooling increasingly small and powerful electronics that generate significant heat. They needed a compact, low-energy, and quiet cooling solution to replace traditional methods.

Comsol provided a multiphysics simulation solution that allowed Nokia Bell Labs to analyze the complex interplay between an oscillating piezoelectric fan blade and the surrounding airflow. Using Comsol's software enabled the engineers to optimize the fan's design in pursuit of a highly reliable and efficient cooling method.
