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.
The electron energy distribution function (EEDF) plays an important role in the overall behavior of discharges. Analytic forms of the EEDF exist such as Maxwellian or Druyvesteyn, but in some cases they fail to fit the discharge physics. This tutorial model investigates the effects of ... Read More
AT cut quartz crystals are widely employed in a range of applications, from oscillators to microbalances. One of the important properties of the AT cut is that the resonant frequency of the crystal is temperature independent to first order. This is desirable in both mass sensing and ... Read More
This example of a plasmonic waveguide filter shows that the waveguide rejects the electromagnetic radiation of the wavelength between 1.4 um and 1.6 um, but allows the rest of the wavelength. The silver material can be modeled using the Drude-Lorentz approximation, with ε∞ = 3.7, ωp = 13 ... Read More
A model comparing the magnetization material models in time-dependent and frequency domain studies. Effective B-H curves are used for frequency domain. A linear relative permeability is included as reference. Read More
In food industries, microwave heating is gaining attention over a conventional heating treatment because of several advantages such as precise process control, speed of heating, fast turn-on and turn-off time, etc. In this model, a high directional Yagi-Uda antenna is used to heat up ... Read More
Surface plasmon polariton (SPP) as well as other types of surface electromagnetic waves is of great interest due to unique physical properties and application potentials. The models here demonstrate how to simulate SPP propagation and its frequency-momentum dispersion relation. The ... Read More
Lamb wave resonators are useful components for many radio-frequency applications. This tutorial shows how you model an aluminum nitride Lamb wave resonator and perform eigenfrequency and frequency-response analyses to characterize the device. Read More
The models here showcase several use cases of the Circuit Extractor add-in, which is able to generate electric circuits from solved physics. A more detailed description of this tutorial model can be found in the blog post "Extracting Electrical Circuits from Electromagnetics ... Read More
Piezoresistive pressure sensors were some of the first MEMS devices to be commercialized. Compared to capacitive pressure sensors, they are simpler to integrate with electronics, their response is more linear and they are inherently shielded from RF noise. They do, however, usually ... Read More
This tutorial model of a two-hot-arm thermal actuator couples three different physics phenomena: electric current conduction, heat conduction with heat generation, and structural stresses and strains due to thermal expansion. The model exists in three versions: Joule Heating of a ... Read More
