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 shows how to define a frequency-domain analysis of heat transfer. The 3-omega method uses the Cahill's equation to approximate the thermal conductivity of a sample from the measured temperature of a metal strip placed on top of it and subject to oscillating heating. The 2D ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to simulate coupled heat and moisture transport in an insulated roof structure composed of a load-bearing layer and an insulation layer. The thermal insulation faces the interior, while a moisture barrier is placed on the exterior side. The load-bearing ... Read More
Nucleate boiling occurs when a liquid is heated by a source hotter than the saturated fluid temperature but with a heat flux below the critical heat flux. In this regime, high heat flux are possible due to the evaporation of the liquid. This model aims to demonstrate the calculation of ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to use the temperature and relative humidity computed from a heat and moisture transport simulation of an insulated roof as inputs for a mold prediction model. The VTT model for mold growth and decline prediction calculates a mold index M by solving an ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates the use of the Heat and Moisture Flow predefined interface for the modeling of heat transfer and moisture transport in a turbulent air flow, with the quantification of evaporation and condensation on surfaces, and the automatic handling of the associated latent ...

This example studies heat transfer in a square column. Cold and hot temperature conditions are applied to the boundaries. Due to the symmetry of the problem, the geometry is simplified to half of the square. The temperature field is compared with the analytic data. This example ... Read More
The purpose of this model is to introduce the specular reflection in Surface-to-Surface Radiation using the ray-shooting algorithm. Different parameters are available to the user to yield better accuracy in the results when using the ray-shooting algorithm. The model is a standard ... Read More
This model aims to demonstrate how a multilayer insulation can affect the temperature distribution of a satellite orbiting around the Earth. It is based on the Spacecraft Thermal Analysis model available in the Application Library. Read More
The purpose of this model is to introduce the Semitransparent Surface Feature from the Radiation in Participating Media Interface. It is a variation of the Radiative Cooling of a Glass Plate model with the DOM method. In this version a semitransparent surface is defined on external ... Read More
Active aerodynamics systems actuate components on a vehicle dynamically to improve fuel efficiency, optimize cooling, and enhance stability. A drag reduction system (DRS) is an example of an active aerodynamic technology, which is often used in Formula 1® cars to overtake other cars ... Read More
