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.
Many robot vacuum cleaners nowadays are equipped with lidar for spatial mapping in order to design an optimal cleaning path and navigate in a room without bumping into obstacles. This model simulates the lidar of a robot vacuum cleaner and how it maps out the shape of the room using ... Read More
The model estimates the AC breakdown voltage between parallel electrodes in air by simulating charge transport dynamics. To keep computations efficient, it is implemented in one dimension, though it can be adapted for different gases and extended to higher-dimensional setups. The ... Read More
Creating irregular geometries can be a good solution, even the only option, for some types of applications. These files present a way to use a text file with material properties defined in coordinates to assign different materials even though there is only one regular domain. The same ... Read More
This model describes a pencil beam scanning (PBS) magnet system for use in medical proton therapy. Simulations of the magnetic flux density and particle tracing are performed. Such models are useful for the design of PBS systems, particular with the advent of MR-integrated proton ... Read More
In this model of a single-beam optical trap, SiO2 nanospheres in streaming water pass by or get captured depending on where they are released from. The electromagnetic force on the particles is calculated in the Electromagnetic Waves, Frequency Domain interface, with a Gaussian ... Read More
This model simulates a holographic page data storage system. The studies include the recording and retrieval processes. The object beam encrypting 8-bit data is focused into a holographic material by a Fourier lens (Fourier transformation). In the recording process, the object beam ... Read More
This model demonstrate how to simulate ray tracing in a pinhole camera viewing a solar eclipse. To keep the model dimensions in check, the Sun and Moon are approximated using planar discs with the appropriate angular size (~0.5 degree) relative to the pinhole. In this example, the ... Read More
This example exemplifies how to model the impedance of a waveguide of varying cross sectional area. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Computing the Impedance of a Corrugated Waveguide". Read More
An interesting question was raised in the 1950s by the mathematician Ernst Straus that, in an arbitrarily shaped empty room with side walls made of perfect mirrors, will a point light source always illuminate the whole room? This question was answered by the Nobel Prize-winning ... Read More
The TSSG process, namely Top-Seeded Solution Growth, is a method used to grow SiC single crystals. It has the advantages of lower growth temperature and high crystal quality. This model introduces the simulation method of the TSSG process, obtains the temperature distribution of the ... Read More
