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 phase field damage multiphysics model to predict crack propagation in thermoelastic solids under large deformations. The crack-driving force depends on the principal stresses, which in turn depend on the temperature distribution in the solid ... Read More
This example models the desalination of water by capacitive deionization in a "flow-between" cell (fbCDI). The model geometry is in 2D. Steady Brinkman flow, a tertiary current distribution, and the improved modified Donnan description of the deionization process is assumed. Read More
In this example, the properties of an engineeredmaterial are modeled by a spatially varying dielectric distribution. Specifically, a convex lens shape is defined via a known deformation of a rectangular domain. The dielectric distribution is defined on the undeformed, original ... Read More
Solar concentrator/cavity receiver systems can be used to focus incident solar radiation into a small region, generating intense heat which can then be converted to electrical or chemical energy. A common figure of merit in solar thermal power systems is the concentration ratio, or the ... Read More
It is possible to engineer the structure of materials such that both the permittivity and permeability are negative. Such materials are realized by engineering a periodic structure with features comparable in scale to the wavelength. It is possible to model both the individual unit cells ... Read More
HowTo: Using the EC External I-Terminal The External Couplings in the CIR interface has two flavors that can be used. External I vs. U and External I-terminal. The former has two nodes (it represents a differential external voltage measurement) and when coupling to an EC Terminal ... Read More
This model incorporates the transport and electrolytic reaction in the treatment of tumor tissue. Oxygen evolution at the anode produces protons, which lowers the pH, while chlorine production also leads to lowered pH through the hydrolysis of chlorine. One effect of a low pH is the ... Read More
Not all analysis projects start with a CAD model. Sometimes the only data you have available is a set of points, also known as a point cloud. The examples files available here illustrate how point cloud data can be converted to geometry models that can be used for simulation in the ... Read More
Zone electrophoresis (ZE) is an electrophoretic separation technique typically used for analyzing proteins, nucleic acids, and biopolymers. During the process, different species in a sample are transported in a continuous electrolyte buffer system, subject to a potential gradient. Due to ... Read More
This model reproduces the NiCd battery model and the results presented in De Vidts' and White's paper from 1995. Ref: P. De Vidts, R. E. White, “Mathematical Modeling of a Nickel-Cadmium Cell: Proton Diffusion in the Nickel Electrode”, J. Electrochem. Soc, Vol. 142, No. 5, May 1995. Read More
