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 illustrates multiphase flow modeling in an airlift loop reactor. The reactor is filled with water and air bubbles are injected at the bottom through two frits. Due to buoyancy, the bubbles rise, inducing a circulating motion of the liquid. The model specifically investigates ... Read More
The mass of an aluminum beam is minimized subject to a displacement constraint and a distributed load. The problem is solved using topology optimization with milling constraints. Read More
Many applications involve simulating the electromagnetic behavior of relatively thin material in voluminous domains. To save computer memory and processing time, the thin materials can be treated differently by resolving them with 3D meshes. Here, the modeling domain is a box filled ... Read More
This example demonstrates how to set up the classical external-flow problem of solving for the high-speed, compressible, turbulent flow over the ONERA-M6 wing. The problem involves finding a steady-state solution of the flow field around the 3D, swept wing geometry, immersed in a ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to use stationary polarization data to perform parameter estimation of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) model. The model, defining a 5-layer membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is two-dimensional and includes electronic and ionic charge ... Read More
Power inductors are a central part of many low-frequency power applications. They are, for example, used in the switched power supply for the motherboard and all other components in a computer. Computer simulations are necessary in the design of such inductors. This model calculates the ... Read More
This tutorial model analyzes the propagation of seismic waves through Earth's internal structure. The model uses a 2D axisymmetric geometry to represent the material discontinuities and the variation of properties through the concentric layers of the earth. A simplified earthquake ... Read More
This presentation shows how to use the Optimization Module to fit a material model curve to experimental data. It is based on the hyperelastic Mooney-Rivlin material model example given in the Structural Mechanics users guide. Read More
This model shows how to compute the S-parameter for a piezoelectric MEMS device by extending the tutorial Thin-Film BAW Composite Resonator. The measurement of S-parameter is commonly used to characterize such devices for RF applications. The terminal feature in the Electrostatics ... Read More
The electrostatically tunable parallel plate capacitor in this example is a typical component in various MEMS devices for radio frequencies that range between 300 MHz and 300 GHz. You can modify the distance between the two plates, as the applied voltage changes, through a spring ... Read More
