Ram Krishna Mishra, Oceaneering International Services Ltd.
In this keynote talk, Ram Krishna Mishra will demonstrate an electrothermal analysis methodology for submarine umbilicals under various electrical loading conditions using multiphysics finite element modeling. The talk will cover model development, electrical loss estimation, heat transfer mechanisms, and thermal interactions between umbilical components. It will also highlight how different load cases influence temperature distribution, identify potential breaches of acceptable temperature limits, and support design validation against operational constraints.
Practical insights will be shared on using simulation to improve reliability, optimize design margins, and reduce dependency on physical testing.
COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.4 includes a set of important updates for chemical and electrochemical simulations. Power loss variables now make it easy to evaluate the magnitude of total power losses in a battery cell and compare losses among individual components, such as the separator, electrode, and current conductor, in order to assess efficiency and identify dominant loss mechanisms (due to ohmic, activation, and concentration overpotentials). A new feature is available for defining arbitrary charge–discharge load cycles, enabling realistic charging, discharging, and operating sequences and supporting more detailed analysis of performance under practical conditions.
For chemical reaction engineering, version 6.4 brings unprecedented accuracy to the modeling of turbulent reacting systems with reacting flow functionality for large eddy simulations (LES). For applications such as pharmaceutical manufacturing and advanced materials processing, accurate modeling of particle growth, morphology, and breakage is made possible with new support for particle aggregation and breakage. This functionality enables realistic simulation of evolving particle-size distributions in crystallization, precipitation, and granulation processes. Additionally, a new moving-bed reactor feature makes it possible to model heterogeneous reactors where the solid phase is continuously consumed and replenished.
In this session, we will take a closer look at these updates.
Dr. Saleem Akhtar Farooqui, CSIR-Indian Institute of Petroleum
In this keynote talk, Dr. Saleem Akhtar Farooqui will present a comprehensive computational analysis of temperature control methodologies for fixed-bed catalytic reactors processing vegetable oils. Using COMSOL Multiphysics® and finite element modeling on a cylindrical reactor, various quenching configurations were evaluated to optimize temperature management while minimizing operational costs.
The study demonstrates a combined approach utilizing both hydrogen and feed oil as quench media offers superior performance compared to conventional hydrogen-only systems. Through systematic analysis of quench positioning, flow rates, and composition ratios, an optimized configuration was developed that maintains temperature rise within acceptable limits (less than 40°C), ensuring catalyst longevity and reactor stability while reducing hydrogen consumption and associated costs for sustainable aviation biofuel production.

COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.4 introduces significant enhancements for structural mechanics and acoustics simulations. In the Structural Mechanics Module, new explicit dynamics capabilities for solids and trusses enable the simulation of fast, transient, and highly nonlinear events such as impact, wave propagation, and metal forming. To simplify the setup of models with many potential contact interactions, a new automated contact modeling approach has been introduced that creates contact conditions between multiple objects without manual specification. The Nonlinear Structural Materials Module adds support for nonlinear material models and phase-field damage modeling for explicit dynamics, along with a faster Hencky strain decomposition for inelastic strain computations.
In the Composite Materials Module, improved modeling for layered shells supports variable-angle fiber laminates, enhanced formulations for failure criteria, and better coupling between layered shells and solid structures. The Rotordynamics Module introduces a new Rotating Frame feature for solid rotor interfaces, extended functionality for dynamic coefficients for bearing analyses, and an option for mode tracking in eigenfrequency studies used to generate Campbell diagrams. The Multibody Dynamics Module introduces a new modeling tool for easier handling of mechanical joints.
The Acoustics Module now offers multi-GPU support for time-explicit pressure acoustics, CGNS flow data import for aeroacoustics modeling, a new Poroacoustics feature for transient and time-explicit pressure acoustics, and a dedicated periodic port boundary condition for automated handling of diffraction orders.

Dr. Sushma Santapuri, IIT Delhi
In this keynote talk, Dr. Santapuri will present how to model and design metamaterials for mechanical and acoustic applications using finite element methods. She will focus on how unit cell design can be used to tune the overall material response and enable specific functionality.
Dr. Santapuri will demonstrate two examples: the design of a metamaterial unit cell to enhance voltage output in an energy harvesting system and the design of a membrane-type acoustic metamaterial to improve sound transmission loss in underwater environments. Overall, the talk aims to show how modeling can be used not only to understand these systems but also to actively guide the design of multifunctional structures.
COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.4 includes a set of important updates for fluid flow and heat transfer simulations. In the CFD Module, enhanced turbulence modeling introduces scale-adaptive simulation (SAS) for the shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model, providing accurate time-dependent flow predictions. In addition, this version includes an Elliptic Blending R-ε turbulence model for improved near-wall fidelity, along with support for new reacting flows with large eddy simulation (LES) that couples mixing, heat transfer, and chemical reactions.
The Mixer Module adds a rotating frame feature as an efficient alternative to full rotating domain setups, as well as algebraic turbulence models for high Mach number flows in rotating machinery. The Polymer Flow Module introduces process modeling for curing processes in both fluids and solids. Porous media flow capabilities common to many add-on modules now support periodic conditions between boundaries and pressure jumps across free–porous interfaces, enhancing modeling of subsystems and representative volume elements.
