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.
Plasma discharges containing chlorine are commonly used to etch semiconductors and metals in microelectronics fabrication. This tutorial model studies chlorine plasma discharges using a global (volume-averaged) diffusion model. Global diffusion models can run simulations in a fraction ... Read More
While transient analyses are useful for time domain reflectometry (TDR) to handle signal integrity (SI) problems, many RF and microwave examples are addressed using frequency domain simulations generating S-parameters. However, from the frequency domain data it is difficult to identify ... Read More

The Keck Telescope is a 10 meter diameter telescope with a Ritchey-Chretien optical design. It is noted for being one of the first large optical telescopes to utilize a lightweight segmented primary mirror. This tutorial demonstrates how to use built-in polygonal mirrors from the COMSOL ...

Many applications involve simulating the electromagnetic behavior of relatively thin material in voluminous domains. To save computer memory and processing time, the thin materials can be treated differently by resolving them with 3D meshes. Here, the modeling domain is a box filled ... Read More
In this second half of a two-part example, a 3D model of a trench-gate IGBT is built by extruding the 2D model from the first half. Unlike the 2D model, now it is possible to arrange the alternating n+ and p+ emitters along the direction of extrusion as in the real device. This more ... Read More
This tutorial model shows how a user-defined coordinate system can be used to create any type of directional polarization of a piezoelectric material. Results are shown for the case of radial polarization of a piezoelectric disk. The piezoelectric material is PZT-5H. The example shows a ... Read More
The modal dispersion in a metamaterial can be engineered by changing the type of material and dimension of the composing unit cells. For instance, a periodically organized subwavelength metal–dielectric layered metamaterial exhibits an anisotropic dispersion characteristic in the ... Read More
This tutorial model solves the Gross–Pitaevskii Equation for the vortex lattice formation in a rotating Bose–Einstein condensate bound by a harmonic trap. The equation is essentially a nonlinear single-particle Schrödinger Equation, with the inter-particle interaction represented by a ... Read More
This tutorial model presents a study of a double-headed streamer in nitrogen at atmospheric pressure. An initial seed of electrons is placed between two electrodes which apply an initial electric field of 52 kV/cm to the gas. A negative and positive streamer propagate toward the ... Read More
