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.
In many structural dynamics applications, some components are stiff compared to the supporting structure. Such a stiff part will only contribute to the dynamic properties of the structure through its mass and moment of inertia. It is then possible to reduce the model size significantly ... Read More
This example of turbulent flow in a partially baffled turbulent mixer shows how to set up The Rotating Machinery, Turbulent Flow interfaces from the Mixer Module with free surface and stationary free surface features. Both frozen rotor and time-dependent simulations are performed and ... Read More
In nuclear fusion reactors, the conducting fluid, such as the fusion plasma and the liquid metal in the reactor blanket, will interact with the background magnetic field. This phenomenon is referred to as magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The electromagnetic field and fluid flow are fully ... Read More
The thermal stress in a layered plate is studied in this example. A plate consisting of two layers, a coating and a substrate layer, is stress and strain free at 800 degrees C. The temperature of the plate is reduced to 150 degrees C and thermal stresses are induced due to the difference ... Read More
Buckling is a common failure mode for slender structural components. This model shows how the buckling load of a diagonal brace can be maximized, while constraining the volume of the brace. Read More
This tutorial uses the submodeling technique to accurately resolve the stress concentrations in a wheel rim. First a global model is solved to obtain the displacements, which are then used as boundary conditions in a local model of the region where the stress concentrations occur. Read More
This model exemplifies the basic principles of crevice corrosion and how a time-dependent study can be used to simulate the electrode deformation. The model is in 2D and the polarization data for the corrosion reaction is taken from a paper by Absulsalam and others. The model and the ... Read More
This model shows how to create dispersion diagrams from simulation results by extending the tutorial Thin-Film BAW Composite Resonator. The dispersion curve can be plotted against both real and imaginary values of the wave number, corresponding to the propagating modes and evanescent ... Read More
The strength reduction technique is a tool to find the factor of safety (FOS) in geotechnical problems, particularly in slope stability analyses. To determine the factor of safety of the slope, the strength properties in the Mohr–Coulomb model are gradually reduced until failure occurs. ... Read More
This tutorial investigates the acoustic properties of a porous layer made of glass wool. The porous material has transverse isotropic properties and is modeled with the full anisotropic poroelastic material model. Read More
