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.
Corrosion induced due to alternating current (AC) is evident in the oil and gas industry, particularly when a pipeline is in close proximity to the high power transmission lines. A numerical model presented here first evaluates the effect of direct current (DC) applied potential on ... Read More
In a cylindrical or prismatic battery cell, the active layers, current collector metal foils and separators are wound into a “jelly roll”. Additional tabs (metal strips) are welded to the current collector foils in order to conduct the current to the exterior of the cell can. The ... Read More
In the diffuse double layer and within the first few nanometers of an electrode surface, the assumption of electroneutrality is not valid due to charge separation. Typically, the diffuse double layer may be of interest when modeling very thin layers of electrolyte including those in ... Read More
This model exemplifies the basic principles of crevice corrosion and how a time-dependent study can be used to simulate the electrode deformation. The model is in 2D and the polarization data for the corrosion reaction is taken from a paper by Absulsalam and others. The model and the ... Read More
The goal with this app is to explain experimental electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements and to show how you can use a simulation app, along with measurements, to estimate the properties of lithium-ion batteries. The app takes measurements from an EIS experiment and ... Read More
A battery’s possible energy and power outputs are crucial to consider when deciding in which type of device it can be used. A cell with high rate capability is able to generate a considerable amount of power, that is, it suffers from little polarization (voltage loss) even at high ... Read More
Large lithium-ion batteries are widely deployed in electric vehicles and for stationary energy storage applications. In the (stacked) pouch battery cell design, all current exits the cell on the cell "tabs", and as the cell size and power increase, the voltage gradients in the highly ... Read More
This example extends the analysis made in the model Electrodeposition on a Resistive Patterned Wafer by including the diffusion and convection of copper ions in the electrolyte. The coupled mass transport convection-diffusion effects are of interest in this type of reactor since they ... Read More
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are used in niche applications with high demands for specific energy densities, which may be as high as 500-600 Wh/kg. The chemistry is fairly complex, since multiple polysulfide species participate in the various charge transfer reactions. The chemistry ... Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Dynamic help system using card stacks Multiple components (1D and 3D) in a single app Toggle buttons in the ribbon for showing different input, hiding/showing geometry selections, and for dynamic help Geometry parts and parameterized geometries ... Read More
