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.
In this example, the etching of silicon in a CF4/O2 plasma reactor is studied using a global model. Parametric sweeps for ion energy and oxygen mole fraction are computed. Read More
This model demonstrates an efficient approach to simulating a thin, spherical, large radome using a 2D axisymmetric formulation with cubic discretization. The axisymmetric method captures full 3D behavior for azimuthally symmetric geometries at only a fraction of the computational cost. ... Read More
This tutorial model solves for an inductively coupled plasma reactor in a mixture of CF4/O2. The plasma transport, magnetic fields, fluid flow, and heat transfer are solved for fully self-consistently. The oxygen mole fraction of the reactor feed is parameterized. Read More
This model uses the Semiconductor and RF modules to describe a photoconductive antenna (PCA). A laser pulse is applied on the surface of undoped LT-GaAs to generate electron-hole-pairs, which move under the influence of an external E-field creating a transient electric current pulse. ... Read More
The model of 1D Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) has been recomputed with the three different kinds of electron energy distribution functions (EEDFs): The Maxwellian function The Druyvesteyn function The computed EEDF based on the Boltzmann Equation, Two-Term Approximation ... Read More
In this model a plane wave with circular polarization is reflected off an interface between air and glass. The model demonstrates three different ways of defining this problem. The first part shows how to define user-defined port mode fields. The second part uses the predefined circular ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to model the band-to-band tunneling across a p–n junction. The tunneling effect is imitated by defining the User-Defined Recombination domain feature which makes the electrons disappear from the conduction band on the n-side and holes disappear from the ... Read More
The "Smart Radiator Device," a multilayer structure, has the capability to control thermal emissivity at different temperatures. This multilayer structure is lightweight thus finds its application in spacecraft mission. The thermochromic vanadium oxide (VO2) material is the heart of ... Read More
Surface plasmon polariton (SPP) as well as other types of surface electromagnetic waves is of great interest due to unique physical properties and application potentials. The models here demonstrate how to simulate SPP propagation and its frequency-momentum dispersion relation. The ... Read More
This model demonstrates dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in air subjected to an AC applied voltage. As the voltage amplitude increases, the discharge intensity correspondingly strengthens. Furthermore, the dominant component of the discharge current transitions from displacement ... Read More
