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 use the features of the Heat Transfer Module to reduce the computation time and memory usage in view factor computations. Illustrative results of speedup and memory usage reduction are given on a benchmark model. The solution is not computed, only the view ... Read More
Thermally induced transformations in solids may be modeled by using an Arrhenius law to express the dependence on temperature of the transformation rate. This tutorial model shows how to use the Irreversible Transformation subfeature, available under the Solid feature of the Heat ... Read More
This model is used on "Heat Transfer with Radiation in Participating Media and the Discrete Ordinates Method" to compare quadrature sets used in the method of discrete ordinates. To assess the performance of quadrature sets in complex geometries, results of incident irradiation and ... Read More
This tutorial model demonstrates the use of the Area Scaling Factor (ASF) in the Heat Transfer in Shells interface, to account for the curvature of the layers when applying heat fluxes and heat sources. The results obtained with the Heat Transfer in Shells interface applied to a ... Read More
This model is an introduction to defining and verifying a satellite orbit, and computing the solar, albedo, and Earth infrared thermal loads. A 1U CubeSat is in a circular orbit at 400km altitude, inclination of 50°, and longitude of ascending node of 0°. The satellite is rotating slowly ... 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 model demonstrates how to define Earth properties that are spatially varying on the planet. A satellite in orbit experiences solar, albedo, and planetary infrared (IR) loads, where albedo and planetary IR can vary with latitude and longitude. In this example, these inputs are read ...

This a continuation of the permanent magnet motor model available here . In this model, an heat transfer analysis has been performed to compute the temperature rise for various stator current and rotor speed. A detailed analysis on torque, and losses in iron and copper have then been ... Read More
High-power battery energy storage systems (BESS) are often equipped with liquid-cooling systems to remove the heat generated by the batteries during operation. This tutorial demonstrates how to define and solve a high-fidelity model of a liquid-cooled BESS pack which consists of 8 ... Read More
The Czochralski (CZ) method is one of the most important methods for the preparation of monocrystalline silicon. The shape of the crystal, especially the diameter, is controlled by carefully adjusting the heating power, the pulling rate, and the rotation rate of the crystal. This model ... Read More
