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.
The aerodynamic properties of a wing, propeller, or turbine blade are to a large extent determined by the precise shape of the airfoil that is used. The NACA Airfoil Optimization application computes the two main aerodynamic properties (the lift and drag coefficients) of a fully ... 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
Piezoelectric devices are widely used as sources to generate sound waves or receivers to detect acoustic signals. In applications such as ultrasound imaging and nondestructive testing, the same transducer can be used as a transmitter to send a source signal and receiver to detect ... Read More
A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is a periodic structure formed from alternating dielectric layers that can be used to achieve nearly total reflection within a range of frequencies. The main advantage of DBRs over ordinary metallic mirrors is that DBRs can be engineered to have custom ... Read More
This model is used in the blog post "Why Do Golf Balls Have Dimples?". The trajectory of a golf ball is compared to the trajectory of a smooth ball using the Events interface and a system of ODEs in a 0D component. Read More
A propeller is the propulsion device of a ship. This model studies the open water performance of the KP505 propeller[1]using the frozen rotor method with RANS turbulence model. Thrust and torque coefficient, and open water efficiency of the propeller at different advance coefficients ... Read More
The model compare the electromagnetic force calculated by virtual work and maxwell stress tensor methods on the axial magnetic bearing. The forces is evaluated by studying the effect of a small displacement on the electromagnetic energy of the system. This is done by using the Magnetic ... Read More
A model comparing the magnetization material models in time-dependent and frequency domain studies. Effective B-H curves are used for frequency domain. A linear relative permeability is included as reference. Read More
This model demonstrates one way of using equation-based modeling for generative design by using the powerful mathematical expression capabilities of COMSOL Multiphysics®. Read More
High-power battery energy storage systems (BESS) are often equipped with liquid-cooling systems to remove the heat generated by the batteries during operation. This tutorial demonstrates how to define and solve a high-fidelity model of a liquid-cooled BESS pack which consists of 8 ... Read More
