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 benchmark model computes the pressure in a system of outgassing pipes with a high aspect ratio. The results are compared with a 1D simulation and a Monte-Carlo simulation of the same system from the literature. Read More
This benchmark model computes the load-carrying capacity of a one dimensional hydrodynamic step bearing. The results are compared with analytic expressions obtained by solving the Reynolds equations directly in this simple case. Read More
This example exemplifies how to model thermal curing using the base package of COMSOL Multiphysics. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Modeling the Thermal Curing Process". Read More
Commercial heat exchangers often feature a complex design. It is significantly easier to build a design with new CAD parameters than to build designs with novel topologies. This model demonstrate how to optimize the size and position of the tubes in a tube and shell heat exchanger. It is ... Read More
Turbulent flow, SSG-LRR interface is employed to investigate turbulent flow in a straight semicircular duct. The resulting flow pattern is characterized by slow secondary motions in the plane normal to the duct axis. The order of magnitude of velocity of those motions is 1% of the ... Read More
The flash method is widely used for measuring the thermal conductivity of a thin sample material that is about the size of a coin. The sample material is submitted to a laser pulse on one of its faces. In turn, the opposite face is heated up by around 1 K. As the pulse is uniform and ... Read More
This example models a small reverse osmosis water desalination unit. The unit consists of a spirally wound semi-permeable membrane through which the water is forced under high pressure. The membrane retains the salt, such that on the permeate side fresh water is produced and on the ... Read More
You can use assembly meshing to reduce the number of mesh elements in your model, which is especially useful for conjugate heat transfer simulation in cases where the fluid domains can be handled with swept mesh. These models demonstrate how to use form assembly and discontinuous meshes ... 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
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
