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.
Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are commonly used in oil refineries and other large chemical processes. In this model, two separated fluids at different temperatures flow through the heat exchanger, one through the tubes (tube side) and the other through the shell around the tubes (shell ... Read More
The sound distribution from a TV in a two-room apartment is computed. The simulation demonstrates the use of the Acoustic Diffusion Equation interface to get a quick and simple estimate of the local sound pressure level. For increased accuracy, an analytical expression for the direct ... 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
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
A plane-wave mode feeds an axisymmetric horn radiating from an infinite baffle toward an open half space. The radius of the waveguide attached to the horn throat is assumed to be fixed, as well as the depth of the horn and the size of the horn mouth attached to the baffle. By varying the ... Read More
Electric impedance measurements are used for imaging and detection. Applications range from nondestructive testing and geophysical imaging to medical imaging. Several alternative techniques are shown to model such a system. One of them shows how to use conditional expressions to define ... Read More
In this time-dependent model, a silica block of glass, coated with a thin copper layer is subjected to a heat flux. Copper is a highly conductive material, while the silica glass is of poor thermal conductivity, which sets up an highly-varied temperature differential. The model must ... Read More
A modern high-power industrial fiber laser system can deliver up to 3kW of single-mode laser radiation on to surfaces to be cut, drilled, welded or marked. Even using highly transmissive materials, the optical component used to focus the laser beam onto target surfaces can be affected ... Read More
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
The acoustic field in a model of an axially symmetric lined aero-engine duct, based on modal sound transmission, is analyzed. The source is generated by a single mode excitation at a boundary. Sources and nonreflecting conditions are applied using port boundary conditions. The model ... Read More
