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.
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 tutorial, the acoustic radiation pattern from a small generic loudspeaker is analyzed using the boundary element method (BEM). The loudspeaker is located on a small table above the floor and at a given distance from a wall. The model is set up using the Pressure Acoustics, ... Read More
Model used as demonstration in the APEI/AES session on August 11. https://audioproducteducationinstitute.org/speakers-and-microphones-simulation-and-testing/ The geometry is invented and uses parts from two models: https://www.comsol.com/model/head-and-torso-simulator-acoustics-74381 ... Read More
Whenever dimensions in waveguides become small compared to the viscous and thermal boundary layers it is necessary to model acoustics using thermoacoustics. In the present model the thermoacoustic wave field in a shallow uniform waveguide is modeled and compared to an analytical solution. Read More
This model presents the flow noise generated by flow past the so-called tandem cylinder configuration. The test is part of the “First Workshop on Benchmark problems for Airframe Noise Computations”. The tutorial model shows the steps involved in a flow-induced noise simulation in COMSOL ... Read More
In this tutorial the geometry of an occluded ear-canal simulator is optimized to match the acoustic response of a given ear. The target data in this model stems from a simulation of an ear canal, but it can also be based on measurements, or a response specified by a standard. 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
This model describes the pressure wave propagation in a muffler for an internal combustion engine. The purpose of the model is to show how to analyze both inductive and resistive damping in pressure acoustics as well as coupling the fluid to the surrounding elastic shell structure of the ...

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 simple tutorial model shows how to set up a parametric sweep over a number of frequency bands (octaves or 1/3 octaves) and remesh once per band. A frequency sweep is performed within each band, which now has an adequate mesh resolution. This approach saves some computational effort ... Read More
