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 models the transient heating, and final temperature, of a disc brake of a car in brake-and-release sequence. It is important to model the transient heating and the following convective cooling to determine the minimum interval between a series of similar brake engagements. ... Read More
This model illustrates how to simulate a periodic homogenization process in a space dependent chemical reactor model. This homogenization removes concentration gradients in the reactor at a set time interval. The model demonstrates a technique by which you can first stop the time ... Read More
This model simulates a static analysis of heat conduction in a thin conductive shell. This is a benchmark model where the result is compared with a NAFEMS benchmark solution. Read More
Microlaboratories for biochemical applications often require rapid mixing of different fluid streams. At the microscale, flow is usually highly ordered laminar flow, and the lack of turbulence makes diffusion the primary mechanism for mixing. While diffusional mixing of small ... Read More
In this tutorial, the heat and mass transport equations are coupled to laminar flow in order to model exothermic reactions in a parallel plate reactor. It exemplifies how you can use COMSOL Multiphysics to systematically set up and solve increasingly sophisticated models using predefined ... Read More
The pyrolysis of a centimeter-sized wood particle presents a fully coupled multiphysics problem with mass transfer, fluid flow, and heat transfer. This example model consists of two parts. The first part demonstrates how to set up a model describing the pyrolysis of a porous, ... Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Dynamic help system using card stacks Multiple components (1D and 3D) in a single app Toggle buttons in the ribbon for showing different input, hiding/showing geometry selections, and for dynamic help Geometry parts and parameterized geometries ... Read More
This model demonstrates the use of the Heat and Moisture Flow features for the simulation of superheated steam drying of a wood particle. A nonequilibrium formulation is used to compute the transport of the liquid water and vapor phases in the wood particle. Reference: Le, K. H., ... Read More
This application presents an example of pressure driven flow and electrophoresis in a 3D micro channel system. Researchers often use a device similar to the one in this model as an electrokinetic sample injector in biochips to obtain well-defined sample volumes of dissociated acids and ... Read More
Several factors influence a diesel particulate filter’s (DPF) efficiency and durability. Important issues include the removal of soot particles from the filter membranes and the influence of thermal stress on the ceramic structure, stress that arises during repeated operating cycles. ... Read More
