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 illustrates the working principle of an axial homopolar induction 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 ... Read More
A 3D model of an acoustic trap in a glass capillary with a bias flow through the capillary. The acoustics is actuated by an oscillating electric potential across a piezoelectric transducer, inducing mechanical vibrations in the solid, and an acoustic pressure field in the fluid. The heat ... Read More
Drop tests are used to evaluate how consumer products respond to impacts and high accelerations. In this example, the Solid Mechanics, Explicit Dynamics interface is used to numerically simulate a drop test of a mobile phone, highlighting the permanent deformation of the aluminum case ... Read More
This is a busbar configuration with an AC analysis. The configuration is similar to the introductory tutorial in the book Introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics. However, two conductors are added to represent a more realistic case of magnetic fields surrounding the busbar. The results ... Read More
In food industries, microwave heating is gaining attention over a conventional heating treatment because of several advantages such as precise process control, speed of heating, fast turn-on and turn-off time, etc. In this model, a high directional Yagi-Uda antenna is used to heat up ... Read More
This app allows you to simulate the action potential in a cell's membrane using the Hodgkin-Huxley model. As it is presented in the form of a simulation app, you can change the input parameters for potential, conductance, and membrane capacitance to study their effects on the dynamics ... Read More
This model presents the transient modeling of a coaxial magnetic bearing using permanent magnets. The coaxial magnetic bearing is advantageous over the conventional mechanical gear mainly because of minimum noise, maintenance free operation, overload protection and physical isolation ... Read More
This model compares the results of five different formulations and approaches to solving an RF heating problem consisting of a coaxial cable inserted into a sample of lossy dielectric material. Results show that the different formulations agree over a wide frequency band. To learn more ... Read More
Surface plasmon polariton (SPP) as well as other types of surface electromagnetic waves is of great interest due to unique physical properties and application potentials. The models here demonstrate how to simulate SPP propagation and its frequency-momentum dispersion relation. The ... Read More
Recent advances in the fabrication of microfluidic systems require handling of live cells and other micro particles as well as mixing. All this can, for example, be achieved using acoustic radiation forces and the viscous drag from the streaming flow. Streaming: Due to the nonlinear ... Read More
