The Application Gallery features COMSOL Multiphysics® tutorial and demo app files pertinent to the electrical, structural, acoustics, fluid, heat, and chemical disciplines. You can use these examples as a starting point for your own simulation work by downloading the tutorial model or demo app file and its accompanying instructions.
Search for tutorials and apps relevant to your area of expertise via the Quick Search feature. Note that many of the examples featured here can also be accessed via the Application Libraries that are built into the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and available from the File menu.
This tutorial model solves for an inductively coupled plasma reactor in a mixture of argon/oxygen. The model computes the fluid flow and gas heating. Important aspects and strategies for modeling electronegative discharges are discussed. Read More
With an increase in the parallel component of the applied field, carriers can gain energies above the ambient thermal energy and be able to transfer energy gained by the field to the lattice by optical phonon emission. The latter effect leads to a saturation of the carriers mobility. The ... Read More
A Hall effect sensor is a semiconductive material with an anisotropic conductivity that is a function of the magnetic field. A magnet, mounted on a wheel, is rotated around nearby the sensor and the variation in the electric potential across the sensor is modeled. For complete ... Read More
These two models show how to set up a magnetohydrodynamics model using either a fully coupled approach, or a one-way coupled approach. A more detailed description of these models can be seen in the blog post "Building a Magnetohydrodynamic Multiphysics Model in COMSOL®". Read More
An antenna array is a group of radiating elements. By controlling the phase and magnitude of the input signal assigned to each antenna element and the number of array elements, the radiation pattern can be steered in a desired direction with a preferred level of gain. In this example, a ... Read More
A transient model of a capacitor is solved in combination with an external electrical circuit. The finite element model of the capacitor is combined with a circuit model of a voltage source and a resistor. A step change in voltage is applied, and the transient current through the ... Read More
In this model, a modal analysis is performed while parametrically sweeping the length of a waveguide from 0.5 um to 4 um to derive the dispersion curve for the anisotropic core. Both transverse and longitudinal anisotropy are considered in two different models. These models are ... Read More
The coaxial cable (coax) is one of the most ubiquitous transmission line structures. It is composed of a central circular conductor, surrounded by an annular dielectric, and shielded by an outer conductor. This model computes the electric and magnetic field distribution inside of the ... Read More
Several different approaches to optimizing a ten-turn axisymmetric coil are presented. First, the current in each turn is adjusted with the objective of having a uniform magnetic flux density along the centerline. Second, the currents are adjusted to minimize power dissipation with a ... Read More
The principle component of a quadrupole mass spectrometer is the mass filter which is used to filter ions with different charge to mass ratios. The quadrupole mass filter has been well studied over the years, Ref. 1 and the physics and optimal design are well understood. In a real ... Read More
