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.
In this example, three parallel pipelines of length 68 km and a horizontal separation distance of 10 m between them are protected against corrosion by an impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) system using a series of anodes. Each anode is connected to all three pipelines, ... Read More
Dialysis is a widely used chemical species separation method. One such example is hemodialysis, which acts as artificial kidneys for people with renal failure. In dialysis, only specific components are allowed to diffuse through the membrane, based on differences in molecular size and ... Read More
This tutorial illustrates how to use the Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) functionality to answer questions regarding sensitivity and reliability of a flow reactor with thermal decomposition. The tutorial investigates what uncertainties in parameters dominates the survival of a nutrient ... Read More
This model demonstrates the "butterfly" filling mechanism for copper electrodeposition in a Through-Hole (TH) via exposed to an electrolyte containing halide-suppressor additives. The Tertiary Current Distribution, Nernst Planck interface in combination with Deformed Geometry is used ... Read More
An Evans droplet experiment is a century-old corrosion experiment for demonstrating oxygen transport-limited corrosion. A droplet of water is placed on a metal surface, and over time the surface features differences in the radial direction of the surface in terms of amount of corroded ... Read More
Steel structures immersed in seawater can be protected from corrosion through cathodic protection. This protection can be achieved by an impressed external current or by using sacrificial anodes. The use of sacrificial anodes is often preferred due to its simplicity. This example models ... Read More
This 2D model demonstrates how to model a galvanic couple in which the corrosion of the anode causes a geometry deformation. The parameter data used is for an Magnesium Alloy (AE44) - mild steel couple in brine solution (salt water). Read More
Voltammetry is modeled at a microelectrode of 10um radius. In this common analytical electrochemistry technique, the potential at a working electrode is swept up and down and the current is recorded. The current-voltage waveform ("voltammogram") gives information about the reactivity and ... Read More
An important step in brewing beer is the fermentation process. Here, alcohol is formed together with various flavor substances from sugars in the presence of yeast. The initial sugar content, temperature, and yeast type dictate how the fermentation proceeds. In this example, the ... Read More
The engine block of a car includes a cooling jacket to remove excess heat from combustion. The cooling jacket consists of open spaces in the cylinder block and the cylinder head. When the engine is running, a coolant fluid is pumped through the jacket to keep the engine from overheating. ... Read More
