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.
During the design of a building, environmental issues have gained considerable influence in the entire project. One of the first concerns is to improve thermal performances. In this process, simulation software are key tools to model thermal losses and performances in the building. The ... Read More
This model deals with electrohydrodynamics (EHD), where a charge separation on the phase boundary between a liquid and air involves the formation of a charged layer. This charged layer allows for a net force to be induced at the interphase when a large electric field is applied. The ... Read More
This simple model demonstrates how to use the Semiconductor Optoelectronics interfaces to model a simple GaAs PIN diode structure. Both the stimulated and spontaneous emission in the semiconductor are accounted for. The corresponding absorption of the light and the associated change in ... Read More
This example applies an Oldroyd-B fluid to model the thinning of a viscoelastic filament under the action of surface tension. For times smaller than the polymer relaxation time, the filament develops a beads-on-string structure. At times much larger than the relaxation time, the solution ... 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
The mass of an aluminum beam is minimized subject to a displacement constraint and a distributed load. The problem is solved using topology optimization with milling constraints. Read More
This example illustrates the modeling of vibration and noise in a 5-speed synchromesh gearbox of a manual transmission vehicle. A transient multibody analysis is performed to compute the gearbox vibration for the specified engine speed and external load. The normal acceleration of the ... Read More
This example models the transient heating, and final temperature, of a disc brake of a car in brake-and-release sequence. It is important to model the transient heating and the following convective cooling to determine the minimum interval between a series of similar brake engagements. ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to compute satellite temperature over multiple orbit periods by coupling Orbital Thermal Loads to Heat Transfer in Solids. The direct solar, albedo, and Earth infrared thermal loads are computed over a single orbit, and are periodically repeated over multiple ... Read More
The model demonstrates the basics of the 3-omega method. The coupled electromagnetic heating problem is solved in a solid sample which is heated by a thin copper strip, deposited on the surface of a sample. Analyzing the frequency dependence of the voltage oscillation amplitude, we ... Read More
