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.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the most effective methods in molecular biology, medical diagnostics, and biochemical engineering in amplifying a specific sequence of DNA. There has been a great interest in developing portable PCR-based lab-on-a-chip systems for point-of-care ... Read More
This application performs parameter estimation (fitting) of the active lithiation windows of the negative and positive electrode materials of a lithium-ion battery, based on a experimental open-circuit voltage (OCV) curve measured as a function of the cell state of charge (SOC). Once a ... 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
The model used is the P2D model also called the Newman model. Parameter estimation is run using experimental data of driving cycles from healthy cells. The parameter values are determined for a confidence of 0.95 for each parameter. Parameter estimation is then run using data from ... Read More
The electrodes of a lithium-ion battery are porous and consist of an active solid electrode material, a binder, and pores filled with a liquid electrolyte. Expansion of the active material due to lithium intercalation changes the volume fraction of electrolyte-filled pores in the ... Read More
At the bottom of an oil well, the pressure and temperature can differ significantly from those at the surface. As the oil mixture flows upward and the pressure decreases, phase changes may occur. At the wellbore inlet, the mixture may already contain both liquid and gas phases. ... Read More
This asset contains the model file described in the blog post titled "Approaching an Electrochemical Model from Scratch: Lemon Battery". Read More
This example demonstrate the modeling of a plug flow reactor for the synthesis of ammonia in the Haber-Bosch process. The catalytic reactor in this process operates under non-isothermal conditions, where temperature and pressure varies substantially along the length of the reactor, in ... Read More
In electrosurgery, high-power AC current from a probe is driven into tissue in order to cut and coagulate it. The current causes rapid Joule heating near the tip, and as temperatures reach 100°C, water and blood vaporize and the tissue desiccates, enabling cutting or sealing. This ... Read More
This example simulates the electrolysis of CO2 on a roughened-Cu cathode surface in a CO2-saturated CsHCO3 electrolyte. It solves for the concentration of dissolved-CO2, Cs+, HCO3–, CO32–, H+, and OH– within the mass-transport boundary layer and accounts for the homogeneous (bi)carbonate ... Read More
