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 tutorial model is of a micro perforated plate (also known as MPP) backed by a vibrating structure. This is a typical configuration in, for example, a MEMS microphone. The vibrating structure is not modeled explicitly, but just assigned a vibration velocity. The vibrating structure ... Read More
This is a 2D model of an anisotropic porous absorbing material. The absorption coefficient alpha are determined as functions of frequency for three different incidence angles. The example uses Periodic Floquet boundary conditions. The model uses two different methods for modeling the ... Read More
In this model, sound created by a vibrating piston radiates through a baffled pipe. The impedance is measured and then used in an impedance boundary condition that replaces the surrounding air domain. This technique can be employed to reduce solution time and memory usage for large ... Read More
A spherical hydrophone consisting of a PZT ceramic, a coating material, and a cable is modeled in 2D axisymmetry. The Receiving Voltage Sensitivity (RVS) is computed for an incident plane wave and compared to an analytical solution from the reference for an ideal spherical hydrophone. ... Read More
This model combines pressure acoustics and ray acoustics to perform a full frequency range analysis of the room impulse response of a small smart speaker. The source characterization in the ray tracing model is based on a full multiphysics model of the transducer and compares two source ... Read More
The Bessel panel is a way to arrange a number of loudspeakers so that the angular sound distribution resembles that of a single speaker. This model combines five Bessel panels in the same pattern to approximate a purely radial sound field. The speakers are driven with different ... Read More
An ellipse with sound-hard walls has the interesting property that an acoustic signal emanating from one of the foci refocuses at the other focal point b/c seconds later, where b (in meters) is the major axis length and c (m/s) is the speed of sound. This model involves a Gaussian ... Read More
This tutorial model shows a virtual test setup of a conference speaker. The speaker system consists of a loudspeaker as well as three microphones. The model instigates the loudspeaker sound radiation, feedback, as well as the ability of the system to detect sound (speech) emitted from a ... Read More
This tutorial simulates a standard test and benchmark model for perfectly matched layers (PMLs) as absorbing boundary conditions in the time domain. It involves the propagation of a transient Gaussian pulse with no flow. The Pressure Acoustics, Transient interface is used together with ... Read More
Acoustic streaming, a steady flow induced by sound waves, has been used in biomedical and engineering industrial., Examples include enhancement of convective heat transfer, ultrasonic cleaning, localized micro-mixing, hemolysis of blood cells, and micropumps etc. The phenomenon is ... Read More
