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 is a full vibro-electroacoustic simulation of a balanced armature transducer (BAT also known as a receiver in some industries) which is a high performance miniature loudspeaker often used in hearing aids and other in-ear audio products. The model is set up using a linear frequency ... Read More
The models simulate the working mechanism of traveling wave thermoacoustic engines. Similary to the standing wave engines, the traveling wave engines make use of the coupling between the fluid motion and the temperature change experienced by the fluid to generate acoustic energy. ... Read More
Loudspeaker design is a challenging task, where the design objective is to achieve better sound quality without violating manufacturing and operational constraints. The quality of sound depends on many parameters; one of them is the ability to control, damp, and shift the diaphragm ... Read More
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
Coriolis flowmeters, also known as mass flowmeters or inertial flowmeters, measure the mass flow rate of a fluid traveling through it. It makes use of the fact that the fluid's inertia through an oscillating tube causes the tube to twist in proportion to the mass flow rate. Typically, ... 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
Anechoic coatings are used on submarines to reduce sonar reflections. This model calculates the reflection, absorption, and transmission properties of an anechoic coating on a steel plate. The calculated results from this sub-model can be used in larger system scale models, for example, ... Read More
This model utilizes the thermoviscous acoustic interface in a sub-model to obtain detailed results for the transfer impedance of a perforated plate (including the thermal and viscous losses). The impedance is in turn used as an internal impedance in a pressure acoustic model of a ... Read More
Underground train grids span large areas under London, Paris, New York, and other cities. The building regulations require strict noise standards, and failure to comply could result in significant losses in the market prices of developments. Therefore, train-induced noise has to be ... Read More
In this model, compute the propagating modes in the chamber of an automotive muffler. The geometry is a cross-section of the chamber in the Absorptive Muffler example. The model’s purpose is to study the shape of the propagating modes and to find their cut-off frequencies. As discussed ... Read More
