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.
This example shows how to set up a piezoelectric transducer problem following the work of Y. Kagawa and T. Yamabuchi. The composite piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer has a cylindrical geometry that consists of a piezoceramic layer, two aluminum layers, and two adhesive layers. The ... Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Geometry parts and parameterized geometries Using tables for user input parameters Visualization on a 2D cross-section of a 3D geometry Improved visualization and user experience when a geometry object (the air object) is hidden. Induction heating ... Read More
These examples show how to model a rectangular waveguide for microwaves in 2D and 3D. A single hollow waveguide can conduct two kinds of electromagnetic waves: transversal magnetic (TM) or transversal electric (TE) waves. The models examine a TE wave that has no electric field ... Read More
These two models show how to set up a magnetohydrodynamics model using either a fully coupled approach, or a one-way coupled approach. A more detailed description of these models can be seen in the blog post "Building a Magnetohydrodynamic Multiphysics Model in COMSOL®". Read More
Scientists use the SAR (specific absorption rate) to determine the amount of radiation that human tissue absorbs. This measurement is especially important for mobile telephones, which radiate close to the brain. The model studies how a human head absorbs a radiated wave from an antenna ... Read More
A planar dielectric slab waveguide demonstrates the principles behind any kind of dielectric waveguide such as a ridge waveguide or a step-index fiber. This model solves for the effective index and fields of a dielectric slab waveguide and compares the solution to analytic results. Read More
Developments in the last decade have made circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) the leading architecture for quantum computation. cQED is the solid-state version of cavity QED, which studies the basic light-matter interactions at the quantum level. This model examines one of the main ... Read More
This application illustrates how to model an electric machine, such as a generator, motor, or drive, by exploiting its sector symmetry to reduce the size of the problem. The machine being studied is a simplified electric generator in 3D, based on the geometry used in the generator_2d ... Read More
In this example, a random vibration test of electronic equipment is simulated. Three analyses are performed, one for acceleration in each global direction. Accelerations in the components and forces in clamping bolts are evaluated. Read More
The GEC cell was introduced by NIST in order to provide a standardized platform for experimental and modeling studies of discharges in different laboratories. The plasma is sustained via inductive heating. The Reference Cell operates as an inductively-coupled plasma in this model. This ... Read More
