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.
Chemical engineering students can model a nonideal tubular reactor, including radial and axial variations in temperature and composition, and investigate the impact of different operating conditions with this easy-to-use app. The process described by the Tubular Reactor with ... Read More
This model illustrates an application that maximizes surface-to-surface radiative fluxes and minimizes conductive heat fluxes. A thermo-photo-voltaic (TPV) cell generates electricity from the combustion of fuel and through radiation. The fuel burns inside an emitting device that ... Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Visualizing material appearance, color, and texture Showing info below the graphics about geometry parameters, results and performance depending on the selected plot action Thermoelectric coolers are widely used for electronics cooling in various ... Read More
Composite laminates are synthetic structures and there is always a possibility to optimize the design in terms of the number of layers, the material of each layer, the thickness of each layer, and the stacking sequence for the specified loading conditions. Designers need to know how safe ... Read More
This application shows how a battery cell exposed to a hybrid electric vehicle drive cycle can be investigated with the Lithium-Ion Battery interface in COMSOL. This model predicts the battery behavior to make comparisons of the monitored properties. They can be used to understand the ... Read More
For transient acoustic problems, there are different sound pressure level metrics that have been defined in the literature and in measurement standards. These metrics are important to know when comparing results from a transient acoustic simulation to measurements from a sound level ... Read More
Graphene, carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice has sparked tremendous research and application interests since its experimental discovery about two decades ago. Besides being ultrathin, this material exhibits a plethora of interesting properties, including high ... Read More
A Chladni plate is a metal plate that is covered in sand and subjected to vibrations. At certain frequencies, the vibrations produce standing waves, resulting in sand patterns formed on the plate. The vibrations are either formed from a violin bow at the side of the plate or a wave ... Read More
The eigenfrequencies of a rotating blade are studied in this benchmark. It shows how stress stiffening and the combined effect from stress stiffening and spin softening affects the fundamental eigenfrequency. High rotational speed in rotating machineries can result in centrifugal forces ... Read More
Solar concentrator/cavity receiver systems can be used to focus incident solar radiation into a small region, generating intense heat which can then be converted to electrical or chemical energy. A common figure of merit in solar thermal power systems is the concentration ratio, or the ... Read More
