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.
Electrical cables, also called transmission lines, are used everywhere in the modern world to transmit both power and data. These cables carry electromagnetic energy, but instead of dealing with the full complexity of the electromagnetic fields, they are more commonly classified ... Read More
A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is a periodic structure formed from alternating dielectric layers that can be used to achieve nearly total reflection within a range of frequencies. The main advantage of DBRs over ordinary metallic mirrors is that DBRs can be engineered to have custom ... Read More
This model simulates the propagation of a positive streamer in a weak electric field where the process of photoionization is essential to provide seed electrons at the front of the streamer head. The simulated electric field and electron density as a function of time agree well with that ... Read More
A trimmer capacitor has a variable capacitance. One way of obtaining this is to use parallel facing electrodes with a variable overlap area. In this example, the capacitance can be changed by turning one electrode using a screwdriver. Typically a linear angular response is desired. ... Read More
The model utilizes a dedicated mesh refinement study, Frequency Domain RF Adaptive Mesh, which dynamically refines the mesh in the region of interest. For the Application Library model Microstrip Patch Antenna, it increases the mesh resolution around areas with high field variations. The ... Read More
The AC/DC magnetic interfaces support material models defined in external C code. You can access external material functions, written in C code, which have been compiled into a shared library. By writing a wrapper function in C code, you can also use material functions written in another ... Read More
The katana is a legendary Japanese sword used by the samurai in olden days. Here, we present a simple model where we simulate a differential hardening process to explore some of the features of the katana. Learn more in this related blog post: Modeling the Differential Quenching of a ... Read More
In this model, an axial field magnetic gear with a gear ratio of 5:2 is modeled. Both the high-speed and low-speed rotors consist of permanent magnets and back iron. The low-speed rotor consists of five pole pairs, while the high-speed rotor consists of two pole pairs and the stationary ... Read More
Model used as demonstration in the APEI/AES session on August 11. https://audioproducteducationinstitute.org/speakers-and-microphones-simulation-and-testing/ The geometry is invented and uses parts from two models: https://www.comsol.com/model/head-and-torso-simulator-acoustics-74381 ... Read More
This example exemplifies how to model the switching between current and voltage excitations in Terminal boundary conditions. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Control Current and Voltage Sources with the AC/DC Module". Read More
