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.
The liquid electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) typically consists of a lithium salt, such as LiPF6, dissolved in one or several solvents. Commercial LIBs commonly employ a mix of multiple hydrocarbon-based solvents along with additional additives. In an electrolyte consisting of ... Read More
This tutorial uses an equivalent circuit approach for modeling the performance of a lithium-ion battery, requiring no knowledge about the internal chemistry or structure of the battery. A 0D equivalent circuit battery model is defined based on a resistor connected in series with a ... Read More
This model file was used for creating the plots featured in the blog post "How to Model Ion-Exchange Membranes and Donnan Potentials". Read More
Some positive electrode materials are known to deteriorate in overcharged lithium-ion battery cells. Predominantly, manganese containing electrode materials such as LMO and NMC can loose capacity due to manganese dissolving from the materials at overcharge. This decomposition is a ... Read More
Biodegradable metallic biomaterials such as Magnesium (Mg) are gathering attention for biomedical applications due to their favorable properties. The present model simulates dissolution of a Mg stent in a blood vessel. Due to the circumferential symmetry, only one-twelfth of the actual ... Read More
Tutorial model investigating a set of two competing reactions. The model demonstrates the natural modeling strategy for reaction engineering in COMSOL Multiphysics®. That is, how to go from chemical equations to space-dependent models of reacting flow with a minimum of work. Read More
Cupric ions show a strong affinity to ammonia in aqueous solutions, forming strongly colored deep blue complexes. The relative amounts of the different ammine ligand complexes, with varying coordination numbers, are governed by the stability constants of the equilibria forming the ... Read More
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is a common positive electrode material in lithium-ion batteries. Specific for the LFP electrode material is that its equilibrium (open circuit) potential, when defined as a function of the lithiation state, features a large flat plateau with a more or less ...

This tutorial shows how to model transport of the individual ions in a salt melt comprising two binary salts, where the transport equations are defined using concentrated solution theory. The example model defines a molten carbonate fuel cell (or electrolyzer), with a 1D-model geometry ... Read More
Example of membrane dialysis with a two-layered membrane. A second Reaction Engineering component models a tank connected to the inlet and outlets of the dialysate channel. Read More
