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 example computes the effectiveness of a porous microchannel heat sink over a conventional microchannel heat sink. The model is fully parameterized. A parameter study on the thickness of the porous substrate is used to determine the optimal configuration. Read More
This example demonstrates how to use a background field in a sound scattering problem. The application is an acoustic invisibility cloak made of a metamaterial. Two different types of metamaterials are used, one using an anisotropic acoustic material with varying properties and one using ... Read More
This example shows how to image the interior permittivity of a box by applying a potential difference on the boundaries of the box. The result is a surface charge density that depends on the permittivity of the medium inside the box. Read about this tutorial model in our blog post "The ... Read More
This tutorial model shows how to model a microspeaker located in a smart phone including the radiation through and interaction with the acoustic port that connects to the exterior. The model demonstrates a linear frequency domain analysis as well as a nonlinear time domain analysis. A ... Read More
The Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST) is a testing technique to precipitate failure of electronic devices under elevated temperature and high humidity environment. This model demonstrates the structural analysis of a plastic encapsulated IGBT module under the HAST testing condition. ... Read More
This model illustrates the working principle of a passive electrodynamic bearing. An electrically conducting rotor rotating in a magnetic field produced by a permanent magnets induces eddy currents on the conducting rotor. The eddy currents, in turn, produce a magnetic field that opposes ... Read More
This model is a static 3D simulation of a generator having a rotor with permanent magnets. The center of the rotor consists of annealed medium carbon steel, which is a nonlinear ferromagnetic material that is saturated at high magnetic flux densities. The core is surrounded by several ... Read More
Échelle spectrographs are commonly used in astronomy for high-resolution analyses of stellar atmospheres and for precision Doppler velocimetry. This tutorial simulates a "white pupil" form of this instrument. It makes use of several parts from the COMSOL Part Library and demonstrates the ... Read More
The eddy currents in a conductive cylinder, generated from currents passing through a surrounding coil, are studied. The skin effect in the coil is also studied. Read More
The model has its emphasis on heat transport in a very small heat exchanger that is commonly used in the field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). In this case, it might be a reactive processes that needs heating. The heat exchanger itself is constructed by stacking several ... Read More
