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 offshore applications, it is sometimes necessary to quickly seal a pipe as part of the prevention of a blowout. This example shows a simulation, in which a circular pipe is squeezed between two flat stiff indenters until it is almost flat. The model serves as an example of an analysis ... Read More
Battery electrodes featuring large heterogeneities in terms of particle sizes may sometimes not be adequately described by homogenized models using one single particle size only. As an alternative to adding multiple instances of the Additional Porous Electrode material node, this ... Read More
This example shows how to set up a glacier flow model in principle, containing several important aspects of glacier modeling: The creation of the 2D geometry, the modeling of non-Newtonian flow, and the implementation of basal sliding. In this example, two different glacier types, a cold ... Read More
Light pipes are structures that can be used to transport light between different locations. In general, they can be divided into two major groups: tubes lined with a reflective coating and transparent solids that contain light via total internal reflection. In this tutorial, light is ... Read More
Multilateral wells—those with multiple legs that branch off from a single well—can produce oil efficiently because the legs can tap multiple productive zones and navigate around impermeable ones. Unfortunately, drilling engineers must often mechanically stabilize multilateral wells with ... Read More
In this tutorial, the acoustic properties of a wax guard are analyzed. A wax guard is a small perforated mesh used to protect the receiver (the miniature loudspeaker in a hearing aid) used for receiver-in-the-ear (RITE) or receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aids. Because of the very small ... Read More
A thermoacoustic engine is a device with no moving parts that can generate acoustic energy from temperature gradients within the engine. It uses the relationship between the movement of oscillating air and the temperature changes in the air compressed and expanded by the acoustic waves. ... Read More
This example describes how to simulate the self-lubricating phenomenon of a liquid lubricant in a journal bearing. A porous bushing is press-fitted to a bearing and saturated with a lubricant. It acts as a reservoir for the redistribution of the thin film of lubricant between regions of ... Read More
The demand for phased array antennas increases not only for the traditional military industry but also in commercial areas such 5G mobile network platforms, Internet of Things (IoT), and satellite communication applications. This example shows how to design a phased array with a beam ... Read More
This tutorial model presents a study of a coaxial DC corona discharge in dry air at atmospheric pressure. The dimensions and operation conditions are similar to ones found in electrostatic precipitators with wire-to-plate configurations. The inner wire electrode has a 100-mm radius and ... Read More
