Fluid-Structure Interaction
This is a model exemplifying how fluid-structure interactions can be modeled using COMSOL Multiphysics. Viscous forces and the system’s pressure impose forces to the surface of a structure. The deformation in the soft structure is not small and the fluid regime will therefore dynamically change. This...

Blood Vessel
This model refers to a portion of the vascular system of a young child - the upper part of the aorta artery. The blood vessels are embedded in a biological tissue (the cardiac muscle) and, during the flow of blood, pressure is applied to the internal surfaces producing deformation of the vessel walls....

Cooling and Solidification
In this model, continuous casting processing of a metal rod from melted to solid state is modeled.
The model describes the fluid and solid flow and heat transport, including the phase transfer from melt to solid. This phase change causes momentum changes, latent heat release and a variation in physical...

Structural and Fatigue Analysis of a Car Wheel Rim
This example shows two structural analyses of a car wheel rim.
Firstly, the parametric solver is used to simulate a varying load along the boundary of the rim. The model solves for both the anti-symmetric and symmetric load cases. The two solutions are then combined in COMSOL Script in order to retrieve...

Droplet Breakup in a T-junction
Emulsions consist of small liquid droplets immersed in an immiscible liquid and widely occur in the production of food, cosmetics, fine chemicals, and pharmaceutical products. The quality of the product is typically dependent on the size of the droplets. Simulating these processes can help in optimizing...

Piezo-Acoustic Transducer
People that use piezoelectric transducers are interested in phased-array microphone, ultrasound equipment, ink-jet drop actuators, drug discovery, Sonar transducers, bio-imaging and acousto-bio-theraputics. Basically anyone who is trying to create sound in air or liquids turns to a version of this problem.
How...

Filling of a Capillary Channel
This example studies a narrow vertical cylinder placed on top of a reservoir filled with water. Because of wall adhesion and surface tension at the air/water interface, water rises through the channel.
Surface tension and wall adhesive forces are often used to transport fluid through microchannels...

Free Convection in a Water Glass
This model treats the free convection and heat transfer of a glass of cold water heated to room temperature. Initially, the glass and the water are at 5 °C and are then put on a table in a room at 25 °C.
The nonisothermal flow is coupled to heat transfer using the Heat Transfer module.

Inkjet
This example demonstrates how to model the fluid flow from an inkjet, for instance, within an inkjet printer. An ink droplet is ejected through a nozzle and travels through air until it hits the target.
A conservative level set method is used to track the interface between air and ink. The fluid...

Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger
In this model, you will study a part of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, where hot water enters from above. The cooling medium flows through the tubes that, in this model, impose a constant temperature at the walls. Furthermore, the tubes are assumed to be made of stainless steel and the heat flux is...
