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.
Extending the Tuning Fork model, this example shows how to set up an Optimization Study to determine the prong length at which the fork vibrates at the standard concert pitch, 440 Hz. Read More
In acoustofluidics, acoustics is used to manipulate particles and fluids in microfluidic devices. This model demonstrates the phenomena of the inhomogeneous acoustic body force and how it can move a fluid with an inhomogeneous density due to a solute. The model is of a 2D cross section ...

This example uses the thermal expansion of a laminated composite shell model to demonstrate the use of the feature Thermal Contact, Interface, applied on interfaces between layers in a laminated composite shell. The first study is computed neglecting this additional thermal resistance in ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to optimize the charging profile of a battery using gradient based optimization. The optimization solver minimizes the time required for charging the battery from 0% to 90% state of charge, while at the same time constraining the amount lithium inventory lost ... Read More
The AC/DC magnetic interfaces support material models defined in external C code. You can access external material functions, written in C code, which have been compiled into a shared library. By writing a wrapper function in C code, you can also use material functions written in another ... Read More
For transient acoustic problems, there are different sound pressure level metrics that have been defined in the literature and in measurement standards. These metrics are important to know when comparing results from a transient acoustic simulation to measurements from a sound level ... Read More
In this model a plane wave with circular polarization is reflected off an interface between air and glass. The model demonstrates three different ways of defining this problem. The first part shows how to define user-defined port mode fields. The second part uses the predefined circular ... Read More
This model simulates the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow of a dielectric liquid around a wire electrode positioned between two parallel flat-plate electrodes. The ion transport is described using the Poisson–Nernst–Planck equations, while fluid motion is governed by the Navier–Stokes ... Read More
Electromagnetic scattering simulation for an object with continuous rotational symmetry can be performed in 2D axisymmetry instead of 3D to drastically reduce computational time and resources. This model shows how to simulate arbitrary plane wave incidence in 2D axisymmetric models by ... Read More
One of the ways we can simplify and reduce the size and computational complexity of a finite element model is by using any symmetries present in a model. In this entry, you can find three practical examples highlighting how to exploit symmetries in RF or wave optics modeling. They all ... Read More
