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 small tutorial model studies energy conservation in a small conceptual test setup. The model has an inlet and outlet (modeled using ports) and a Helmholtz resonator with a very narrow neck. The acoustics in the narrow neck are modeled with Thermoviscous Acoustic for a detailed ... Read More
The Helmholtz filter is a popular technique for imposing a minimum length scale in structural topology optimization, but certain applications also call for a maximum length scale. This model demonstrates how to achieve this using an extra PDE filter. Read More
This model demonstrates the simulation of surface dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) using the Electric Discharge interface. The formulation incorporates a comprehensive set of physical processes, including charge transport, impact ionization, electron attachment, recombination, and ... Read More
Tesla microvalves exploit the non-linear nature of inertial flow to create anisotropic flow resistance. They can be used as robust valves owing to their passive working mechanism, but for many applications the diodicity is too low. Two-dimensional simulations and optimization over ... Read More
In a polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzer cell, hydrogen and oxygen gas is produced by electrolysis. The hydrogen and oxygen compartments are separated by a polymer membrane, that also acts as electrolyte. This introductory tutorial computes the ohmic and activation losses in ... Read More
Multiscale modeling is a challenging issue in modern simulation. This occurs when there are vastly different scales in the same model. For example, your cell phone is approximately 10 cm, yet it receives GPS information from satellites 20,000 km away. In these models we examine several ... Read More
This example shows how to model induction hardening of a small steel pin. The ferritic-pearlitic pin is induction heated using a coil with a high frequency alternating current. The surface of the pin is thereby austenitized, and the pin is then water cooled to produce a hard, martensitic ... Read More
To understand the risk of coagulation and blood clot formation in an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), modeling and simulation can be used to study the blood flow through the AAA. In this example, blood is modeled as an Oldroyd-B fluid. While this is a generic example, if instead using ... Read More
This model performs a transient analysis of the temperature through a house wall. The wall is formed of different layers corresponding to the structure, insulation and plaster. On the exterior and the interior, the wall is exposed to thermal radiation and convective cooling. The results ... Read More
The model utilizes a dedicated mesh refinement study, Frequency Domain RF Adaptive Mesh, which dynamically refines the mesh in the region of interest. For the Application Library model Microstrip Patch Antenna, it increases the mesh resolution around areas with high field variations. The ... Read More
