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.
A trimmer capacitor has a variable capacitance. One way of obtaining this is to use parallel facing electrodes with a variable overlap area. In this example, the capacitance can be changed by turning one electrode using a screwdriver. Typically a linear angular response is desired. ... Read More
This tutorial model presents a study showing the transient negative mobility and the negative differential conductivity effects in xenon. The stationary and time dependent Boltzmann equation in the two-term approximation is used to compute the electron energy distribution function. ... Read More
This is a busbar configuration with an AC analysis. The configuration is similar to the introductory tutorial in the book Introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics. However, two conductors are added to represent a more realistic case of magnetic fields surrounding the busbar. The results ... Read More
Uncertainty Quantification is used to study the effect of manufacturing variation on the performance of 2D Solidly Mounted Resonator (2D SMR). This tutorial shows how resonant frequency is effected by thickness variations of the piezoelectric layer and the Bragg reflector layers. The ... Read More
This model demonstrates a technique for partitioning a mesh based upon the element type. By first meshing with a boundary layer and then partitioning and creating a new mesh, it is possible to avoid modeling the interior volume of inductively heated parts, where the skin depth is small ...

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
This Application Gallery entry demonstrates how Far-Field radiation can be calculated when a substrate is present. Two approaches are demonstrated. A simplified form that works for two homogeneous domains, and a general approach that can handle multiple, inhomogeneous layers. This ... Read More
