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.
In this example, triaxial and oedometer tests are simulated using the Hardening Soil material model. Both tests exhibit a hyperbolic stress–strain relationship. For the triaxial test, it is confirmed that the axial stress approaches the analytical failure stress asymptotically. In the ... Read More
The chlor-alkali membrane process is one of the largest in industrial electrolysis with the production of roughly 40 million metric tons of both chlorine and caustic soda per year. Chlorine is used predominantly for the production of vinyl chloride monomer, which in turn is used for the ... Read More
This example performs the analysis of a viscoelastic damper. The damper is intended for reduction of wind-induced and seismic vibrations in buildings and other tall structures. Read More
In this example, it is demonstrated how to extend the built-in linear elastic material model to a Cosserat material through the addition of microrotation degrees of freedom. A cylindrical bar under pure torsion is analyzed and the effect of the Cosserat length scale parameter on the ... Read More
This example explores the shift in natural frequencies caused by changing the temperature. One study investigates a doubly clamped beam where both ends are fixed, while the other study looks at a cantilever beam where only one end is fixed. The following effects are studied: Stress ... Read More
Zinc-Silver oxide (Zn-AgO) batteries are used in different industries due to their high capacity per unit weight. In this work, discharge of a Zn-AgO battery is simulated using the Battery with Binary Electrolyte interface. The electrochemical reactions in the positive and negative ... Read More
This model demonstrates the application of COMSOL Multiphysics to a benchmark case of steady-state subsurface fluid flow and transient solute transport along a vertical cross section in an unconfined aquifer. Because of profound geologic heterogeneity, the model must estimate solute ... Read More
This example shows how to set up a glacier flow model in principle, containing several important aspects of glacier modeling: The creation of the 2D geometry, the modeling of non-Newtonian flow, and the implementation of basal sliding. In this example, two different glacier types, a cold ... Read More
This model analyzes a piezoelectric microelectromechanical system (MEMS) speaker. The speaker, composed of four triangular membranes, uses a layer of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) material with two electrodes on top of a silicon layer as actuators. The triangular membranes are separated ... Read More
This model represents a test case of a flow in an elastic tube which is present in several applications. This specific case models viscoelastic flow and represents steady flow in a channel in which part of the upper wall is replaced by an elastic plate subjected to an external pressure. ... Read More
