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 simulates the thermodynamical evolution of moist air in an electronic box with the aim of detecting whether condensation occurs when the external environment properties change. The model imports measured data for the air temperature, pressure, and water vapor concentration. ... Read More
This example models the flow in a 90-degree pipe elbow. The flow is simulated using the k-omega turbulence model. The result is compared to engineering correlations. Read More
Drying of porous media is an important process in the food and paper industry among others. Many physical effects must be considered: fluid flow, heat transfer with phase change, and transport of participating liquids and gases. All of these effects are strongly coupled, and predefined ...

This example introduces three different models for a lateral flow assay for the detection of coronavirus antibodies. These models are as follows: 3D model for studying possible symmetries in the spreading of the liquid sample in the test strip. The 3D model shows that the flow is ... Read More
This model shows how to set up a simulation of flow through a fractured reservoir. The reservoir includes a discrete fracture network (DFN), where the fractures have a randomized distribution of position, size, orientation and aperture. The model uses the Discrete Fracture Network Add ... Read More
FSI analysis of a sports car side door and side rear view mirror. The model is based on large eddy simulation analysis of a sports car. The flow field is used for a structural analysis of the side mirror and side door to estimate the flow-induced vibrations. Read More
Modeling flow through realistic porous structures is difficult due to the complexity of the structure itself. Often, resolving the flow field in detail is not feasible; therefore, a macroscopic description of the pore scale structure, which utilize averaged quantities such as porosity ... Read More
Double-pipe heat exchangers, with their typical U-turn shape, are one of the simplest and cheapest type of heat exchangers used in the chemical process industry. This example studies the cooling of hot oil (130°C) by a cool oil (60°C) entering in counter-current. As the oils flow ... Read More
In this model, we show how to model Seebeck effect which works as a thermoelectric generator. Seebeck effect is a phenomena where the difference in temperature of a material leads to a potential difference. The potential drawn in this model was compared with the paper by Jaegle (Example ...

This model simulates the flow around an inclined NACA 0012 airfoil at different angles of attack using the SST turbulence model. The results show good agreement with the experimental lift data of Ladson and the pressure data of Gregory and O’Reilly. Read More
