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 "Smart Radiator Device," a multilayer structure, has the capability to control thermal emissivity at different temperatures. This multilayer structure is lightweight thus finds its application in spacecraft mission. The thermochromic vanadium oxide (VO2) material is the heart of ... Read More
Opto-acoustophoresis is a term used to describe the interplay between acoustics and optical fields. In most cases (including this) the optical field is heating up the material and therefore affecting the acoustic field. In this example of an acoustic trap a set of particle are trapped ... Read More
A line array of eleven spherical hydrophones embedded in a neoprene coating is modeled in 3D. The sensitivity of the array is analyzed with regard to varying angles of incidence of the background pressure field. The array directivity function is computed and compared to the analytical ... Read More
Surface plasmon polariton (SPP) as well as other types of surface electromagnetic waves is of great interest due to unique physical properties and application potentials. The models here demonstrate how to simulate SPP propagation and its frequency-momentum dispersion relation. The ... Read More
When radiation occurs across a very narrow gap this is often well-approximated as radiation between infinite parallel plates. This model considers three aluminum plates separated by narrow air gaps. The model compares the classical approach, based on the Surface-to-Surface Radiation ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to create domains for modeling inside and outside of an imported CAD assembly. You will also learn how to use the defeaturing tools for deleting details from the imported geometry. Read More
This model demonstrates dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in air subjected to an AC applied voltage. As the voltage amplitude increases, the discharge intensity correspondingly strengthens. Furthermore, the dominant component of the discharge current transitions from displacement ... Read More
This example demonstrates an app that utilizes the LiveLink™ interface for Solid Edge® to run simulations on CAD designs. Read More
This example demonstrates an app that utilizes the LiveLink™ interface for Inventor® to run simulations on CAD designs. Read More
This model demonstrates the ability to simulate Multibody Dynamics in COMSOL. It comprises a multilink mechanism that is used in an antique automobile as a gearshift lever. It was created out of curiosity to find out how large forces are on the individual components. The model uses ... Read More
