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.
Multipaction can occur when electrons are accelerated by a high frequency RF field into surfaces. At certain frequencies, the number of electrons in a cavity can grow exponentially. This exponential growth cannot continue indefinitely because space charge effects in the cavity can ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to perform simulations of an absorbing bandstop color filter, based on a hexagonal array of holes in a thin aluminum layer. The structure is hexagonally periodic but this example also shows how to set the model up as rectangularly periodic. Read More
Micromirrors are used in certain MEMS devices to control optic elements. This model of a vibrating micromirror surrounded by air uses the Thermoacoustic-Shell Interaction user interface to model the fluid-solid interaction, and it thus includes the correct viscous and thermal damping of ...

See how to perform a vibration analysis of the crankshaft of a 3-cylinder reciprocating engine in this tutorial model. Due to the eccentricity of the crank-pin and balance masses on the crankshaft, it undergoes self-excited vibration under rotation. The crankshaft is modeled using solid ... Read More
This example demonstrates the wrinkling of a thin rectangular sheet stretched uniaxially. First, a static analysis is performed to determine the region of negative principal stresses without wrinkling. Next, a prestressed buckling analysis is carried out to find out the linearized ... Read More
This tutorial example of the pasta extrusion process shows how to simulate the non-isothermal flow of dough in the metering zone of a pasta extruder accounting for the temperature dependent material properties of the hydrated semolina dough. Read More
This model illustrates the dynamics of helical gears. It is built using the gears functionality in the Multibody Dynamics interface in COMSOL Multiphysics. A transient study is performed to analyze the effect of constant gear mesh stiffness, varying gear mesh stiffness, and the ... Read More
This tutorial studies the propagation of sound in the presence of a porous absorber in the time domain. It demonstrates how to model a porous absorber using the local and extended reacting approximations and compares the two approaches for absorbers of various thickness. The dissipative ... Read More
The standard biventricular cardiac model is used to show how to set up fiber directions in a complex geometry. The fibers are then used to model the large deformation of the myocardium with the Holzapfel-Gasser-Ogden anisotropic material model. The Aliev-Panfilov equations are included ... Read More
Emulsions consist of small liquid droplets immersed in an immiscible liquid and widely occur in the production of food, cosmetics, fine chemicals, and pharmaceutical products. The quality of the product is typically dependent on the size of the droplets. Simulating these processes can ... Read More
