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 demonstrates how to set up a dynamic simulation that includes several contact interactions, including friction, using a single general contact pair. The dynamics is solved using explicit time stepping. Read More
This app is an example of how the poroelastic properties of a porous material can be determined based on measurement done with an impedance tube and parameter estimation. Being able to determine the characteristics of a porous material from a single and simple measurement opens the door ... Read More
The katana is a legendary Japanese sword used by the samurai in olden days. Here, we present a simple model where we simulate a differential hardening process to explore some of the features of the katana. Learn more in this related blog post: Modeling the Differential Quenching of a ... Read More
This example model simulates the long-path echo of trumpet sounds reflected from a building 500 m away. The echo can only be heard at night because of the acoustic ray refraction in the atmosphere with different temperature profiles. The model is solved using the ray tracing in the ... Read More
This is a small 2D demonstration model that couples the Linearized Navier-Stokes, Frequency Domain, Solid Mechanics, and Turbulent Flow (k-epsilon) physics interfaces to model the vibrations of a plate located in a 2D viscous parallel plate flow. This type of model is used to model fluid ... Read More
This model demonstrates two approaches to model the acoustics in a generic nacelle with an acoustic liner and a background flow. The first method uses the Compressible Potential Flow and the Linearized Potential Flow, Frequency Domain interfaces, while the second, more detailed approach, ... Read More
This tutorial model shows a system consisting of a Helmholtz resonator on the side of a main duct. The resonator volume is partly filled with a porous material. The model computes the reflection, transmission, and absorption of the system. Thermoviscous losses are included in the model ... Read More
For models with acoustic-structure couplings it is necessary to calculate the left eigenvectors to use the Frequency Domain, Modal solver. The model shows the necessary changes to the default settings of the eigenfrequency solver. Read More
This tutorial shows how to model car cabin acoustics using a low frequency FEM solution concatenated with a high frequency ray solution. The source is a tweeter located in the dashboard corner, which is modeled as a lumped loudspeaker coupled to an electric circuit. To accurately include ... Read More
The process of filling a water balloon is a vivid example for the interaction of fluid pressure and a nonlinear structural material. This model demonstrates how straightforward a FSI simulation model is set up in COMSOL. Read More
