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.
A trimmer capacitor has a variable capacitance. One way of obtaining this is to use parallel facing electrodes with a variable overlap area. In this example, the capacitance can be changed by turning one electrode using a screwdriver. Typically a linear angular response is desired. ... 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 demonstrates how to use a space-time formulation to optimize a heating profile over time. Get an overview in the accompanying blog post Equation-Based Modeling with a Space-Time Discretization. Read More
A smoke exhaust duct in a building is analyzed. Radiation of a non-gray gas is accounted for with a Radiation in Participating Media interface and the Weighted Sum of Gray Gases Model (WSGG). The smoke exhaust duct consists of 25 mm plaster walls. Building codes require that the walls ... Read More
Grain compaction is the process by which granular material is placed in a container and compressed with an external pressure. It can be used to increase the packing density and alter the mechanical and thermal properties of the resultant samples, and it is thus a crucial step in many ... Read More
This model computes the fundamental eigenfrequency and eigenmode for a tuning fork that is synchronized from Solid Edge® via the LiveLink™ interface. The length of the fork is then optimized so that the tuning fork sounds the note A, 440 Hz. Read More
This example computes the power losses in a lithium-ion battery when exposed to high current pulses in a hybrid pulse power characterization (HPPC) test. Power loss contributions stemming from different phenomena are analyzed, as well as the total power losses pertaining to the ... 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 model demonstrates three different ways to find the eigenfrequencies of a rectangular metallic cavity. The first method uses an eigenfrequency study step together with the Electromagnetic Waves, Beam Envelopes interface. Here, it is important to define a wave vector for the physics ... 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
