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 shows how to import a 3D scanned geometry of a human head and torso and compute the head related transfer function (HRTF). The scan is imported as a .stl file and converted into a COMSOL geometry. The HRTF is computed using the reciprocity principle, locating the ... Read More
In this model a Knowles ED23146 receiver (miniature loudspeaker) is connected to a test set-up consisting of a 50 mm (1 mm diameter) earmold tube and a so-called 0.4-cc coupler. The receiver is modeled using a lumped spice network and connected to the finite element domain at the tube ... Read More
This model example shows how to model nonlinear propagation of 1D finite-amplitude Acoustic waves in fluids using Acoustics Module of COMSOL Multiphysics. The model is based on the 2nd order Westervelt equation. The one dimensional nonlinear wave equation is solved in the time domain by ... Read More
When high-fidelity measurement microphones are calibrated, a pressure reciprocity calibration method is used. During calibration, two microphones are connected at each end of a closed cylindrical cavity. For the calibration procedure, it is important to understand the acoustic field ... Read More
In this classical benchmark model, a spherical scatterer is placed in a plane wave background field. When the sphere is modeled as sound hard, the problem has an analytical solution. The model compares the results using the Pressure Acoustics, Boundary Elements interface with the ... Read More
This is a model of a MEMS microphone solved in the frequency domain including the DC prestress effects. The model is set up using the Electromechanics multiphysics interface, Thermoviscous Acoustics, and Pressure Acoustics. The microphone consists of a perforated plate and a prestressed ... Read More
A plane-wave mode feeds an axisymmetric horn radiating from an infinite baffle toward an open half space. The radius of the waveguide attached to the horn throat is assumed to be fixed, as well as the depth of the horn and the size of the horn mouth attached to the baffle. By varying the ... Read More
This model analyzes the frequency response of a fuel tank partially filled with fluid. The tank is submitted to a vertical acceleration. Two modeling methods are considered to represent the fluid: a traditional method of smearing the mass of the fluid through the wetted surface of the ... Read More
Example of a moving-coil loudspeaker where lumped parameters represent the behavior of the electrical and mechanical components. The Thiele-Small parameters (small-signal parameters) serve as input to the lumped model, which is represented using the Electric Circuit interface. The ... Read More
This tutorial introduces the use of topology optimization in acoustics. The goal of the optimization is to find the optimal material distribution (solid or air) in a given design domain, here the ceiling of a 2D room, that minimizes the average sound pressure level in an objective ... Read More
