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 axisymmetric 3D structure such as a conical horn antenna can be simulated in a fast and efficient way using only its 2D layout. In this model, the antenna radiation and matching characteristics are computed very quickly with respect to the dominant TE mode from the given circular ... 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
This model shows modeling of a sphere falling on a water surface. Specifically, it models the oscillating motion of a buoyant sphere as it falls through air and interacts with the air-water interface to finally float on water. Get more details in our blog post: Modeling a Sphere Falling ... Read More
Conical antennas are useful for many applications due to their broadband characteristics and relative simplicity. In this example, we study the antenna impedance and radiation pattern as functions of frequency for a monoconical antenna with a finite ground plane and a 50 ohm coaxial ... Read More
Induced eddy currents and associated thermal loads is of interest in many high power AC applications. This example is of general nature and illustrates some of the involved physics as well as suitable modeling techniques in the AC/DC Module. In this model a metallic plate is placed ... Read More
In this example, a hydrogen plasma reactor at moderate pressure is studied using a global model. The heavy species heat equation is included. In the first part of the study, a Maxwellian electron energy distribution function is used. In the second part, the global model is solved self ... Read More
Piezoresistive pressure sensors were some of the first MEMS devices to be commercialized. Compared to capacitive pressure sensors, they are simpler to integrate with electronics, their response is more linear and they are inherently shielded from RF noise. They do, however, usually ... 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 demonstrates a simulation setup for exciting surface plasmon polaritons using Otto and Kretschmann configurations. The underlying mechanism is enabled by the interplay between total internal reflection and evanescent-wave coupling phenomena. It also calculates the ... Read More
Modeling curing is important in a wide variety of applications such as for devices utilizing polymer materials, rubber materials, plastics, and concrete. Curing is usually an exothermic reaction. In the current example, curing of butyl rubber is studied in a 3D mold for an automotive ... Read More
