Abstract
COMSOL Multiphysics is a very efficient tool for modeling numerically complex devices. In particular, this software can be used during the industrial design processes involving optimization problems.One interesting characteristic of COMSOL Multiphysics is the possibility of incorporating the created model into a MATLAB script code. This allows the MATLAB script to automatically change some considered model parameters, such as geometrical shapes, physical characteristics, etc. Thus, any optimization algorithm compatible with MATLAB script can solve an optimization problem involving a COMSOL Multiphysics model. During this minicourse, first we will detail the basic steps to create and solve industrial design problems by coupling COMSOL Multiphysics with MATLAB. Then, we will illustrate the presented methodology by considering the optimization of a fast hydrodynamic focusing microfluidic mixer for protein folding.
