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.
Side reactions and degradation processes may lead to a number of undesirable effects, causing capacity loss in lithium-ion batteries. Typically, aging occurs due to multiple complex phenomena and reactions that occur simultaneously at different places in the battery, and the degradation ... Read More
Lead-acid batteries are widely used as starting batteries for various traction applications such as cars and trucks and so forth. The reason for this is the fairly low cost in combination with the performance robustness for a broad range of operating conditions. However, one drawback of ... Read More
Rechargeable lithium-air batteries have recently attracted great interest mainly due to their high energy density. The theoretical value is about 11400 Wh/kg which is around 10 times greater than the lithium-ion batteries. In this tutorial, discharge of a lithium-air battery is ... Read More
This app demonstrates the usage of a surrogate model function for predicting the cell voltage, cell open circuit voltage and internal resistance of an NMC111/graphite battery cell undergoing a battery test cycle. The surrogate function, a Deep Neural Network, has been fitted to a ... Read More
In a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), water is produced at the cathode. The cell is also fed with water vapor via the inlet gas streams, in order to keep the polymer electrolyte membrane humidified. If the water partial pressure in the gas phase exceeds the vapor ... Read More
This app demonstrates the usage of a surrogate model function for predicting the rate capability of an NMC111/graphite battery cell. The rate capability is shown in a Ragone plot. The surrogate function, a Deep Neural Network, has been fitted to a subset of the possible input data ... Read More
This example models a solid oxide electrolyzer cell wherein water vapor is reduced to form hydrogen gas on the cathode, and oxygen gas is evolved on the anode. The current distribution in the cell is coupled to the cathode mass transfer of hydrogen and water and momentum transport. Two ... Read More
During professional wine tasting, several samples of wine are judged in one session. It is important that each sample is covered, since evaporation of ethanol and water will change the taste. This model simulates the evaporation of ethanol and water from a wine glass. Evaporation of ... Read More
Stents are used in biomedical applications to support the inner wall of veins and arteries. Self-expanding stents made of shape memory alloys work differently from balloon-inflated stents, as these stents are crimped to the artery diameter at low temperature then released while the blood ...

A stationary 3D model of a generic fuel cell cathode describing the mass fraction distribution of oxygen, water, and nitrogen, as well as the current distribution. The model uses Darcy's Law to describe convection, and couples this to Maxwell-Stefan diffusivities to also describe mass ... Read More
