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.
Atmospheric corrosion occurs when metallic structures are exposed to humid air forming a thin electrolyte film in the range of up to a few hundred micrometers. The model presented here accounts for charge transport as well mass transport involving 10 species and 6 homogeneous ... Read More
This example models the deposition of an inductor coil in 3D. The geometry includes the extrusion of the deposition pattern into an isolating photoresist mask, and a diffusion layer on top of the photoresist. The mass transfer of copper ions in the electrolyte has a major impact on the ... Read More
This model uses the Reacting Flow multiphysics interface to simulate a methane steam reformer. The model accounts for the interactions between the chemical reactions, the transport of species, the fluid flow, and the heat transfer in a porous medium. Read More
This example introduces three different models for a lateral flow assay for the detection of coronavirus antibodies. These models are as follows: 3D model for studying possible symmetries in the spreading of the liquid sample in the test strip. The 3D model shows that the flow is ... Read More
Corrosion induced due to alternating current (AC) is evident in the oil and gas industry, particularly when a pipeline is in close proximity to the high power transmission lines. A numerical model presented here first evaluates the effect of direct current (DC) applied potential on ... Read More
A deceptively simple system of two species and two reactions, describing the autocatalytic conversion of a substance, is shown to display a surprisingly exotic behavior. Starting from a 0D CSTR description, a 2D reaction-diffusion problem is formulated showing rich patterns stemming from ... Read More
This model simulates the shape evolution of a microconnector bump over time as copper deposits on an electrode surface. Transport of cupric ions in the electrolyte occurs by convection and diffusion. The electrode kinetics are described by a concentration dependent Butler-Volmer ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to use stationary polarization data to perform parameter estimation of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) model. The model, defining a 5-layer membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is two-dimensional and includes electronic and ionic charge ... Read More
Crystallization is a key separation process in e.g. pharmaceuticals production. It is the process by which a chemical species is separated from solution by forming a crystal. To achieve the required product properties, control over the crystal particle size distribution is necessary. ... Read More
This model reproduces the NiCd battery model and the results presented in De Vidts' and White's paper from 1995. Ref: P. De Vidts, R. E. White, “Mathematical Modeling of a Nickel-Cadmium Cell: Proton Diffusion in the Nickel Electrode”, J. Electrochem. Soc, Vol. 142, No. 5, May 1995. Read More
