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 model simulates the mixing of two types of grains in a rotating drum with baffles. The effect of the number of baffles on the mixing is demonstrated by varying the number of baffles in the drum. This model also demonstrates how to build and run a model method that evaluates the ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to simulate coupled heat and moisture transport in a wall made of a load bearing and an insulation layer. Moisture and temperature conditions vary with time on both sides of the wall and rain loading is included. The 1D model is a benchmark test defined in ... Read More
This model shows the workflow to define a transfer orbit trajectory with user defined orbit option. The direct solar, albedo, and Earth radiative thermal loads are analyzed during the transfer from low Earth orbit to geostationary orbit. Read More
This example shows how to model induction hardening of a small steel pin. The ferritic-pearlitic pin is induction heated using a coil with a high frequency alternating current. The surface of the pin is thereby austenitized, and the pin is then water cooled to produce a hard, martensitic ... Read More
This model presents a way to compute projected area using the Surface-to-Surface Radiation interface of the Heat Transfer Module. By computing illuminated area from a set of directions on a discretized sphere, it is possible to interpolate the projected area onto any angle of incidence. ... 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 demonstrates the effect of the hopper design on the resulting flow patterns of the grains exiting the hopper. The flow changes from mass flow to funnel flow when the conical angle of the hopper is increased. Read More
This example models a small reverse osmosis water desalination unit. The unit consists of a spirally wound semi-permeable membrane through which the water is forced under high pressure. The membrane retains the salt, such that on the permeate side fresh water is produced and on the ... Read More
This example uses the Granular Flow interface to model the formation of the grain heap and then its subsequent spreading using a cylindrical roller. The roller has a combined rotational and translational motion. The resulting powder bed is then analyzed to determine its quality based on ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to simulate coupled heat and moisture transport in a wall. The wall is modeled considering an air flow between interior and exterior varying with time. The 1D model is the third benchmark test defined in HAMSTAD-WP2 Modeling for the validation of numerical ... Read More
