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 studies tissue heating induced by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). The nonlinear propagation of the HIFU signal is modeled using the Nonlinear Pressure Acoustics, Time Explicit physics interface. In this example, the source amplitude is sufficient to generate ... 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
Piezoelectric devices are widely used as sources to generate sound waves or receivers to detect acoustic signals. In applications such as ultrasound imaging and nondestructive testing, the same transducer can be used as a transmitter to send a source signal and receiver to detect ... Read More
This model computes the input impedance/admittance to an acoustic system in the frequency domain. The system here represents a typical measurement setup used for testing hearing aids and includes domains with thermoviscous boundary layer losses. The input admittance, computed in the ... 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
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
A 3D model of an acoustic trap in a glass capillary actuated by a piezoelectric transducer. The system is actuated by an oscillating electric potential across the piezoelectric transducer inducing mechanical vibrations in the solid and an acoustic pressure field in the fluid. The heat ... Read More
This tutorial showcases the principles of the immersion ultrasonic testing technique. A search unit placed in a water tank sends an ultrasonic pulse signal that scatters off a solid object. Part of the signal is reflected back to the search unit by the object and possible flaws in it. By ... 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
This tutorial model shows how to model car cabin acoustics using a hybrid FEM-ray approach. The particular example is that of a tweeter located in the dashboard of the car near the windscreen. A FEM based sub-model of the speaker and its immediate surroundings is used to compute a ... Read More
