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.
In this tutorial, the eigenmodes and eigenfrequencies of an air bubble in water is modeled and compared with analytical solutions. The effects of surface tension is included and allows to model both the pulsating mode and the surface modes of the bubble. Lastly, the effect of the ... Read More
This tutorial simulates a small vibrating hemispherical particle in water. The particle has a radius of 1 mm and is oscillating in the axial direction at a frequency of 50 kHz. The vibrations induce acoustic waves in the fluid. The example demonstrates how to set up a thermoviscous ... Read More
Stents are used in biomedical applications to support the inner wall of veins and arteries. Self-expanding stents made of shape memory alloys work differently from balloon-inflated stents, as these stents are crimped to the artery diameter at low temperature then released while the blood ...

This example studies the natural frequencies of a pretensioned membrane exhibiting stress stiffening. The model results are compared with the analytical solution. Two different techniques for generating the prestress are explored. Read More
This is a model of a simple thermoacoustic engine that includes a thermal stack to convert thermal energy to acoustic energy. The model is set up using two approaches: 1) Using a linear perturbation (acoustic) approaches solving the fluid motion with the Thermoviscous Acoustics, ... Read More
Drop tests are used to evaluate how consumer products respond to impacts and high accelerations. In this example, the Solid Mechanics, Explicit Dynamics interface is used to numerically simulate a drop test of a mobile phone, highlighting the permanent deformation of the aluminum case ... Read More
This tutorial studies tissue heating induced by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). The nonlinear propagation of the HIFU signal is modeled using the Nonlinear Pressure Acoustics, Time Explicit physics interface. In this example, the source amplitude is sufficient to generate ... Read More
Including circumferential displacements in a 2D axisymmetric Solid Mechanics interface allows to compute twist and bending deformations. This model determines stress concentration factors for a hollow shaft for load cases of axial extension, torsion, as well as bending, using a ... Read More
This example models the behavior of soil during a tunnel excavation. The surface settlement and the width of the plastic region around the tunnel are important parameters needed to predict required reinforcements during the excavation. Two study steps are used. The first study computes ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to compute the response of an ultrasonic car parking sensor transducer coupling Pressure Acoustics, Frequency Domain, Solid Mechanics, and Piezoelectric Materials. The far-field radiation pattern of the transducer is then used as a source for a Ray ... Read More
