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 model sets up a linear array of nine tonpilz piezoelectric transducers in a 3x3 grid. A voltage is applied that includes a phase change across the three rows. The transducers are located in a box below the sea surface. The exterior acoustics are modeled using the Pressure ... Read More
Acoustic droplet ejection is a non-contact, highly controllable method for liquid handling emerging in applications such as printing, biomedical, semiconductor assembly, and mass spectroscopy. The modeling approach assumes separation of acoustic and flow time scales. First, a focused ... Read More
This model shows one approach for obtaining a broadband impulse response by combining ray-tracing and finite element methods. The combination is done all within COMSOL® and uses idealized filters. In this example, the simulation results are further compared to an analytical solution ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to compute the acoustic properties of an acoustic liner with a grazing flow. The liner consists of eight resonators with thin slits. The background grazing flow is at Mach number 0.3. The sound pressure level above the liner is computed and can be compared to ... Read More
This tutorial shows an approach to model the acoustic scattering off a submarine including the outer hull. The flooded volumes between the outer hull and the pressure hull are modeled with Pressure Acoustics, Frequency Domain (FEM) and the outside water domains with Pressure Acoustics, ... Read More
Helmholtz resonators are used in exhaust systems, as they can attenuate a specific narrow frequency band. The presence of a flow in the system alters the acoustic properties of the resonator and the transmission loss of the subsystem. In this tutorial model, a Helmholtz resonator is ... Read More
When a droplet is placed on a substrate on which surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are traveling, the energy of the SAWs is transferred into the droplet to form an acoustic field. The transferred energy is attenuated and generates a streaming flow. This type of streaming enables contactless ... Read More
Micromirrors are used in certain MEMS devices to control optic elements. This example model illustrates a mirror that is initially actuated for a short time and then exhibits damped vibrations. It simulates a vibrating micromirror surrounded by air and uses the Thermoviscous Acoustics, ... Read More
An automotive midwoofer is modeled using the lumped parameter approach. The electrical and mechanical components are modeled using a lumped electric circuit, which is coupled to a finite element model for the acoustics using the Lumped Speaker Boundary feature. The large signal ... Read More
We have all noticed the Doppler effect when an ambulance passes by with its sirens blaring. The siren’s pitch suddenly drops the moment the ambulance starts moving away from you. Another effect you can notice is how the siren’s sound is very loud when nearby, but as soon as the ... Read More
