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 model demonstrates the transport of grains using a screw conveyor. The grains enter the conveyor through a chute and are transported over an incline by a rotating screw. This model also demonstrates how to build and run a model method that evaluates the mass flow rate. Read More
This model evaluates the temperature distribution in 3 buried cables in a situation where the soil surface temperature is known. The temperature profile obtained with a thermal circuit approach for the cables is compared with a FEM approach. The thermal circuit properties are established ... Read More
This model simulates the flow through a uniform inclined screen using the Screen feature in Single-Phase Flow physics and compares the results with an analytic solution. Read More
1D model of a thermal energy storage (TES) system consisting of a packed bed of pellets. Three approaches for heat transfer in porous media are compared: A one-equation local thermal equilibrium (LTE) model A two-equations local thermal nonequilibrium (LTNE) model A multiscale ... Read More
This example uses the Granular Flow interface to model the formation of the grain heap and then its subsequent spreading using a cylindrical roller. The roller has a combined rotational and translational motion. The resulting powder bed is then analyzed to determine its quality based on ... Read More
This example is about the modeling of the fiber drawing process. Thermal fiber drawing is a process in which a comparatively thicker structure is heated and drawn into extended lengths of microstructured fiber. This process is done by passing them through the furnace and pulling them ... Read More
This tutorial model demonstrates the use of the Moisture Flow coupling node to account for the Stefan flow in moist air, over an evaporation surface. The effects on the velocity field and vapor concentration are presented with different ambient temperature conditions. Read More
This example studies heat transfer in a composite two-dimensional structure. Four materials with distinct thermal conductivities k compose the structure. The top and bottom boundaries are facing environments respectively at 0°C and 20°C. The temperature distribution and the heat flux ... Read More
This tutorial model illustrates how to calculate the pressure drop and initial flow rate in a pipe system connected to water tank. The Pipe Flow interface contains ready to use friction models accounting for the surface roughness of pipes as well as pressure losses in bends and valves. Read More
This model of a two-story house can be used to examine a contaminant leak and the subsequent contaminant dispersion that occurs due to convection and diffusion. Airflow and recirculation within the home are dependent on vent placement, and flow velocity may also vary at each vent. ... Read More
