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 this example, the Bergstrom–Bischoff material model is used to model the temperature and strain dependent behavior of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) used, for example, to make liners for damaged pipes in oil and gas applications, or to make type IV hydrogen storage vessels for fuel ...

Wind strakes on a chimney impede the uniform detachment along the height of the chimney, which can induce vibrations and eventually lead to fatigue at the footing of the chimney. A stationary turbulent flow simulation is computed for a chimney with strakes mounted on a factory building. ... Read More
This model analyzes the operation of a micromirror in air and the effects of thermoviscous damping on the vibration response. The model includes thermal losses in the structure as well as thermoviscous acoustic phenomena. The model couples the Thermoelasticity multiphysics interface to ... Read More
In this example, a hydrogen plasma reactor at moderate pressure is studied using a global model. The heavy species heat equation is included. In the first part of the study, a Maxwellian electron energy distribution function is used. In the second part, the global model is solved self ... Read More
An AC contactor is a particular type of magnetic switch device, which is activated by a primary coil fed by an alternating current. Unlike DC switches, such devices can suffer from a tendency to reopen when the AC current crosses zero. The addition of a shading coil that supports ... Read More
Induction pumps are used in high temperature cooling systems. The principle of operation is equivalent to a linear three phase induction motor. The lack of moving parts and the pumped liquid being kept in a hermetically closed system are clear advantages. This model shows how to simulate ... Read More
This document explains how to install and run COMSOL Multiphysics® and COMSOL Server™ with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud™ (EC2™). This requires that you have first acquired a Floating Network License (FNL) or COMSOL Server License (CSL) from COMSOL. The license manager ... Read More
A plane electromagnetic wave propagating through free space is incident at an angle upon an infinite dielectric medium. This model computes the reflection and transmission coefficients and compares the results to the Fresnel equations. Read More
In this model, we introduce a cloaking method using an electrically tuned monolayer of graphene. We will show that when a cylindrical dielectric scatterer is covered in graphene, the scattering cross section is greatly reduced at the designated frequency, making it electromagnetically ... Read More
This example shows how to set up multiple sandwiched thin layers with different thermal conductivities in two different ways. First, the composite is modeled as a 3D object. In the second approach the Thin Layer boundary condition with the thermally thick option is used to avoid ... Read More
