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 model solves the Boltzmann equation in two-term approximation for a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen representing a background gas of dry air. Electron transport coefficients and source terms are computed by suitable integration of the electron energy distribution function over ... Read More
This entry is a compilation of some examples from DIN EN 1991-1-2 (Actions on structures exposed to fire). Models that are included: 1. Cooling (HT) 2. Heating (HT) 3. Heat transfer through multiple layers (HT) 4. Thermal elongation (SME, thermal stress) 5. Thermal expansion (SME, HT, ... 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
A waveguide-type structure can be fabricated on a substrate by adding vias between the microstrip line and the ground plane. Such a device will behave as a high-pass filter and is attractive because it is easy to fabricate. A model is set up that shows the S-parameters as a function of ... Read More
This example model consists of a two-hot-arm thermal actuator made of polysilicon. The actuator is activated through thermal expansion. The temperature increase required to deform the two hot arms, and thus displace the actuator, is obtained through Joule heating (resistive heating). The ... Read More
A gearbox is used to transfer power from an engine to its associated wheels or cogs, which can result in radiating noise to the surroundings. This is due to the transmission of undesired lateral and axial forces on the bearings and housing, while transmitting power from one shaft to the ... Read More
An important step in brewing beer is the fermentation process. Here, alcohol is formed together with various flavor substances from sugars in the presence of yeast. The initial sugar content, temperature, and yeast type dictate how the fermentation proceeds. In this example, the ... Read More
The model includes a compilation of benchmark examples included in the text book: Shape Memory Alloys: Modeling and Engineering Applications. D. Lagoudas Ed. Springer 2008. The model uses the Souza–Auricchio model and shows the thermomechanical properties of a NiTi alloy sample ... Read More
A Fresnel rhomb is a prism that uses total internal reflection to manipulate the polarization of light. In this example, light in the prism is internally reflected at an angle of incidence that induces a 45-degree phase delay between s- and p-polarized radiation. By subjecting the light ... Read More
Crystallization is an important separation process in the chemical industry. It is used for the production of pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals. It can also be used in resource recovery as a way of separating valuable materials from waste. This model solves a discretized ... Read More
