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 example model demonstrates four different approaches for computing the integrals of fields over arbitrarily placed geometries that can be re-positioned without having to re-solve the model. This approach is also useful if you want to integrate the results of a model over different ... Read More
This model simulates transition flow through a microchannel using the Transition Flow interface in COMSOL Multiphysics®, which solves the Boltzmann BGK equation. The analysis is carried out to understand the fluid flow behavior across five different pore-length (porosity) configurations, ... Read More
Ion beam etching is a critical technique widely used in semiconductor manufacturing, materials science, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). This proof-of-concept model simulates argon ion sputtering of a silicon surface using the Charged Particle Tracing interface. A Deformed ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to use the chatbot functionality in COMSOL Multiphysics® to add annotations to a model of a pacemaker electrode. To learn more about this model, see our accompanying blog post “Using the Chatbot Window in COMSOL Multiphysics®”. Read More
An interesting question was raised in the 1950s by the mathematician Ernst Straus that, in an arbitrarily shaped empty room with side walls made of perfect mirrors, will a point light source always illuminate the whole room? This question was answered by the Nobel Prize-winning ... Read More
This model compares the solution to the model equations of a tubular reactor using Danckwerts inlet and outlet conditions. A second almost identical model is defined with extra inlet and outlet sections where no reactions occur. The concentration at the beginning of the inlet section is ... Read More
A simple way to estimate the value of π is by using a pendulum, whose oscillation period can be measured and used to calculate an approximation. This simulation app is based on a model that uses the <em>Multibody Dynamics</em> interface to describe the motion of a simple ... Read More
Thermally induced transformations in solids may be modeled by using an Arrhenius law to express the dependence on temperature of the transformation rate. This tutorial model shows how to use the Irreversible Transformation subfeature, available under the Solid feature of the Heat ... Read More
This example exemplifies how to optimize the design of a capacitor through optimization. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Changing the Dimensions of a Model Using Shape Optimization". Read More
This example shows how to model isotropic volumetric growth and atrophy of soft biological tissues. The artery is represented by a cylinder that is stretched and compressed due to an applied axial load. As a result, the tissue undergoes growth and atrophy. Read More
