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 verification model of nonisothermal turbulent flow over a flat plate compares the heat transfer coefficient obtained from simulation with theoretical values based on Nusselt number correlation functions that can be found in the literature. Read More
This model shows how to simulate carburization and quenching of a steel gear. Diffusion of carbon into the surface of the gear affects the onset of martensitic transformation. Residual stresses are computed, and it is shown that high residual compressive stresses appear at the root of ... Read More
This 2D axisymmetric model demonstrates the operation of a pyroelectric detector found in instruments for measuring laser energy. A disk of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) is sandwiched between two electrodes and connected to an external circuit. The disk is mounted on a ring-shaped ... Read More
In this study, the compressible turbulent flow through a supersonic ejector is modeled using the High Mach Number Flow interface in the CFD Module. Ejectors are simple mechanical components used for a wide range of applications, including industrial refrigeration, vacuum generation, gas ... Read More
The model includes a compilation of benchmark examples included in the text book: Shape Memory Alloys: Modeling and Engineering Applications. D. Lagoudas Ed. Springer 2008. The model shows the thermomechanical properties of a NiTi alloy sample subjected to uniaxial tension-compression ... Read More
This model shows how to set up a simple Bipolar Transistor model. The output current-voltage characteristics in the common-emitter configuration are computed and the common-emitter current gain is determined. Read More
The GEC cell was introduced by NIST in order to provide a standardized platform for experimental and modeling studies of discharges in different laboratories. The plasma is sustained via inductive heating. The Reference Cell operates as an inductively-coupled plasma in this model. This ... Read More
This example studies heat transfer in a composite two-dimensional structure. Four materials with distinct thermal conductivities k compose the structure. The top and bottom boundaries are facing environments respectively at 0°C and 20°C. The temperature distribution and the heat flux ... Read More
In this example, the deformation of a rubber boot seal connected to a rigid pipe is studied. As the pipe rotates and the seal deforms, the flanges of the seal self-intersect and it also come into contact with the pipe. Read More
A 2D model of a steel bar is used to simulate oil quenching from an austenitic state. Both diffusive and displacive phase transformations are used, and the phase composition is computed in the radial direction of the bar. Read More
