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 shows how to simulate moisture redistribution inside a wall with capillary active interior insulation. The wall consists of three layers: brick, mortar and insulating material. At the beginning of simulation, there is a sudden change in vapor pressure and temperature at ... Read More
In this model, we use the Bioheat Transfer interface to solve the Pennes bioheat transfer equation. The problem is in 1D and formulated to be dimensionless. The results are compared against analytical solutions derived in a journal paper (Ref. 1). A mesh convergence study shows that the ... Read More
The electrodes of a lithium-ion battery are porous, consisting of an active solid material, a binder, and pores filled with liquid electrolyte. If a force is applied on the porous layers of a battery, this will affect the volume fraction of the electrolyte-filled pores in the electrodes, ... Read More
The Turbulent flow, Elliptic Blending R-ε interface is used to analyze fully developed turbulent flow in a spanwise rotating channel. Due to the influence of the Coriolis force on turbulence, profiles of the flow variables are skewed at moderate rotation rates. An asymmetry between the ... Read More
This model uses the Granular Flow and Membrane interfaces to simulate the packing of spherical grains in a flexible container, a procedure often found in the processing industry. In this example, grains are packed into a cubic container constructed of a thin polymer fabric. Two packing ... Read More
This model demonstrates the use of the Two-Phase Thin-Film Flow, Phase Field multiphysics coupling, which can be used to predict the evolution of an interface between two different, immiscible fluids in thin, narrow channels. The example here presents a free boundary lubrication ... Read More
This model simulates transition flow through a microchannel using the Transition Flow interface in COMSOL Multiphysics®, which solves the Boltzmann BGK equation. The analysis is carried out to understand the fluid flow behavior across five different pore-length (porosity) ... Read More
This example uses the Granular Flow interface to model the fixed funnel method for calculating the angle of repose, where a funnel is kept at a fixed height. The funnel is first filled with grains which are subsequently released and collected as a heap. The resultant heap is then ... Read More
This model shows three methods to focalise external irradiation with a convex glass lens made of either: Semitransparent Surface with no reflection. Refractive Interface following the Fresnel's relations. Dielectric Window absorbing ultraviolet and infrared radiations. Read More
This model is used on "Heat Transfer with Radiation in Participating Media and the Discrete Ordinates Method" to compare quadrature sets used in the method of discrete ordinates. To assess the performance of quadrature sets in complex geometries, results of incident irradiation and ... Read More
