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, three parallel pipelines of length 68 km and a horizontal separation distance of 10 m between them are protected against corrosion by an impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) system using a series of anodes. Each anode is connected to all three pipelines, ... Read More
This example is an extension of a model used to study the vibration and noise in a 5-speed synchromesh gearbox in a manual transmission vehicle. In this version of the model, a detailed representation of a roller bearing is used instead of hinge joints with elastic stiffness. First, the ... Read More
This benchmark model simulates a GaAs nanowire using the self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson theory to compute the electron density and the confining potential profiles. The predefined Schrödinger-Poisson multiphysics coupling feature is combined with the dedicated Schrödinger-Poisson ... Read More
The example concerns a stainless-steel MEMS heat exchanger, which you can find in lab-on-a-chip devices in biotechnology and in microreactors such as for micro fuel cells. This model examines the heat exchanger in 3D, and it involves heat transfer through both convection and ... Read More
This example illustrates the modeling of ply drop-off in a composite panel. The panel considered for the analysis has three sections–thick, taper, and thin. The thick section plies are divided into the core, top-bottom belts, and dropped plies. The thick section of the panel has sixteen ... Read More
This model shows how to model the avalanche breakdown due to the impact ionization in a Silicon Carbide diode. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the device are presented as well as the electric field distribution plot. Furthermore, the carrier generation term has been computed ... Read More
This example solves the problem of finding the optimal thickness profile of a flywheel, so that the moment of inertia is maximized without increasing the mass or the maximum stress in the flywheel. Read More
At the macroscopic level, systems usually mix fluids using mechanical actuators or turbulent 3D flow. At the microscale level, however, neither of these approaches is practical or even possible. This model demonstrates the mixing of fluids using laminar-layered flow in a MEMS mixer. This ... Read More
This example extends the corrosion protection system analysis of the single oil platform example by modeling the influence of multiple oil platforms placed in an array. The use of the Current Distribution on Edges, BEM interface significantly reduces the problem size and computational ... Read More
Ion-exchange is a powerful method to separate proteins from solutions and is today readily used in biotechnological and pharmaceutical industry. This model simulates an ion-exchange column for protein adsorption. The fluid phase contains four components: two proteins, solvent, and one ... Read More
