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 is a model of a simple photoacoustic (or optoacoustic) resonator. A pulsating laser heats a gas causing expansion and contraction and thus creates pressure waves. Such devices are used as sensors for measuring material parameters of the gas inside the resonator. The resonance ... Read More
These examples demonstrate using the Electrostatics, Boundary Elements interface, introduced in version 5.3 of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. In the blog post associated with these files, "How to Create Electrostatics Models with Wires, Surfaces, and Solids", we demonstrate the pros ... Read More
This tutorial model illustrates how to calculate the pressure drop and initial flow rate in a pipe system connected to water tank. The Pipe Flow interface contains ready to use friction models accounting for the surface roughness of pipes as well as pressure losses in bends and valves. Read More
A demo model of a 50 Hz AC coil wound around a ferromagnetic (linear) core. The model is intended as a tutorial to show how to create a relatively complex geometry and set up the new Multi-Turn Coil features for the simulation. The model requires the Design module to fillet the edges of ... Read More
A load carrying component of a structure is subjected to multi-axial cyclic loading during which localized yielding of the material occurs. In this model you perform a low cycle fatigue analysis of the part based on the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) model. Due to localized yielding, you ... Read More
This example exemplifies how to model thermal ablation by taking into account material removal. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Modeling Thermal Ablation for Material Removal". Read More
Freefrom optics has generated renewed interest due to advances in fabrication and manufacturing technology. In this Application Library example, we are going to look at a specific design called the Alvarez lens where two complementary conic surfaces are shifted laterally with respect to ... Read More
This model represents index guided photonic crystal fiber as discussed in the J. D. Joannopoulus book. The dispersion diagram of the fundamental and higher order modes matches well with Chapter 9, Figure 4. The hole radius is varied from 0.23[um] to 4.69[um]. J.D. Joannopoulus, R.D. ... Read More
Whenever dimensions in waveguides become small compared to the viscous and thermal boundary layers it is necessary to model acoustics using thermoacoustics. In the present model the thermoacoustic wave field in a shallow uniform waveguide is modeled and compared to an analytical solution. Read More
These models demonstrate the usage of the user defined lumped port and lumped elements to introduce excitations and lumped circuit elements between volumetric conductors. Additional models show how to use impedance and transition boundary conditions to model the conductors, instead of ... Read More
