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 tutorial performs steady-state and transient analysis of the response of a PIN diode to constant and pulsed radiation, respectively. The effect of radiation is modeled as spatially uniform generation of electron-hole pairs within the device. At high dose rates the separation of the ... Read More
This example illustrates how to model the transport of different contaminants through a ceramic water filter candle with an activated carbon core. These types of water filters can be found in table top gravity filters, as well as attached to the faucet or as part of a larger reverse ... Read More
In its simplest form, an optical ring resonator consists of a straight waveguide and a ring waveguide. The waveguides are placed close to each other, making the light affect each between the two structures. If the propagation length around the ring is an integral number of wavelengths, ... Read More
The topology optimized Tesla microvalve is used as inspiration for a parametrized geometry. The optimization of this geometry takes erosion and dilation of the geometry into account by optimizing over a parametric sweep. In this example the optimization is driven by the worst of the 3 ... 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 example benchmarks a NAFEMS validation model of a friction contact problem with an elastoplastic material model. A thin metal sheet is forced into a die by a punch. Both the compressing displacement and the release of the punch are modeled in order to compute the forming angle (at ... Read More
The flow around the Eppler 387 airfoil is computed with the SST turbulence model both with and without the transition model. The reuslts are compared with experimental values. Read More
The use of wave-based techniques for room acoustic simulations has spread in the last years due to the increase in computational performance as well as the development of new numerical methods. The challenge of including realistic impedance conditions at walls is traditionally solved in ... Read More
This tutorial model solves for an inductively coupled plasma reactor with RF bias (also known as ICP/CCP reactors) in a mixture of argon/chlorine. The model computes the fluid flow and gas heating. Important aspects and strategies for modeling electronegative discharges are discussed. Read More
This tutorial utilizes the Particle Beam feature to examine the performance of a high-precision spectrometer. An ion beam is subjected to electric and magnetic forces, and only a fraction of the incoming beam is transmitted to the detector. The Particle Counter feature is used to compute ... Read More
