Abstract

This paper provides an in-depth overview of heat transfer in advanced ceramics using COMSOL Multiphysics, aiming to achieve accurate simulations and analytical insights for ultra-high-temperature ceramics (UHTCs). COMSOL Multiphysics has applications across various industries that require advanced investigations into the performance of materials under extreme heat conditions. The finite element method (FEM) implemented in the software serves as an effective tool for solving governing equations and addressing heat transfer problems in a wide range of cutting-edge applications. The focus is not only on current methodological approaches but also on the future evolution of thermal behavior analysis in ceramics, such as the integration of machine learning. Overall, the results highlight the importance of numerical methods as a bridge between materials science and high-level engineering applications.
