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.
An operational amplifier (op-amp) is a differential voltage amplifier with a wide range of applications in analog electronics. This tutorial models an op-amp connected to a feedback loop and a capacitive load. The op-amp is modeled as an equivalent linear subcircuit in the Electrical ... Read More
Angle beam ultrasonic units are used for nondestructive testing (NDT) of solid objects, such as metal pipes. They are especially useful for detecting flaws in and around welding areas, such as pores, small cracks, lack of fusion, etc. Angle beam NDT is often used where the straight beam ... Read More
In the surface acoustic waves industry different crystal cuts of piezoelectric materials are used, e.g. 128ᵒ YX LiNbO3, AT&ST quartz, 42ᵒ YX LiTaO3, etc. Direct data isn’t available for all cuts. The standard approach is to use the so-called Euler angle rotation. COMSOL supports it ... Read More
Uncertainty Quantification is used to study the effect of manufacturing variation on the performance of 2D Solidly Mounted Resonator (2D SMR). This tutorial shows how resonant frequency is effected by thickness variations of the piezoelectric layer and the Bragg reflector layers. The ... 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
A battery’s possible energy and power outputs are crucial to consider when deciding in which type of device it can be used. A cell with high rate capability is able to generate a considerable amount of power, that is, it suffers from little polarization (voltage loss) even at high ... Read More
This model sets up a linear array of nine tonpilz piezoelectric transducers in a 3x3 grid. A voltage is applied that includes a phase change across the three rows. The transducers are located in a box below the sea surface. The exterior acoustics are modeled using the Pressure ... Read More
A parallel wire transmission line is composed of two conducting wires in a dielectric such as air. The fields around such a transmission line are not directly confined by the conductors, and extend to infinity, although they drop off in rapidly away from the wires. This model ... Read More
Sodium-ion batteries (SIB) are commonly presented as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIB). The SIB chemistry uses Na+ instead of Li+ for electrolyte charge transport and as redox species in the electrode reactions, with the advantage of Na+ being more abundant and with a ... 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
