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.
An acousto-optic modulator (AOM) is a device which can be used for controlling the power, frequency or spatial direction of a laser beam with an electrical drive signal. It is based on the acousto-optic effect, that is, the modification of the refractive index by the oscillating ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to include local nonlinear effects when simulating the acoustics of an exponential horn. Nonlinear effects become important when an acoustic horn is used for high amplitude signaling. The Nonlinear Acoustics (Westervelt) Contributions feature available for the ... Read More
Solid-state batteries (SSB) are a promising technology that could suffer from internal mechanical stresses due to the growth and shrinkage of the electrodes within all-solid components. With this model, the charge-discharge cycling of an SSB is simulated with a focus on the interaction ... Read More
This model uses the Reacting Flow multiphysics interface to simulate a methane steam reformer. The model accounts for the interactions between the chemical reactions, the transport of species, the fluid flow, and the heat transfer in a porous medium. Read More
This model demonstrates how to compute the acoustic properties of an acoustic liner with a grazing flow. The liner consists of eight resonators with thin slits. The background grazing flow is at Mach number 0.3. The sound pressure level above the liner is computed and can be compared to ... 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
The use of Aluminum (Al) isolator is a commonly employed mitigation strategy for galvanic corrosion between magnesium alloy (Mg) and mild steel (MS). The present model demonstrates the effect of Al isolator thickness on galvanic corrosion severity using a parametric study. The electrode ... 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
This tutorial model demonstrates the use of the Moisture Flow coupling node to account for the Stefan flow in moist air, over an evaporation surface. The effects on the velocity field and vapor concentration are presented with different ambient temperature conditions. Read More
The impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) system is often employed to mitigate corrosion of buried pipelines in the oil and gas industry. Metallic objects such as buried pipelines, which are present within the current flow of the ICCP system, may suffer from the stray current ... Read More
