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 studies a small orifice located in a duct. The transmission and reflection coefficients of the system are computed in the presence of a bias flow using the linearized Navier-Stokes equations. For certain frequencies the transmission coefficient shows amplification (T>1). This ... Read More
Topology optimization is associated with extreme design freedom which can yield extreme performance. The designs can be easier to manufacture by using milling constraints, at some cost to the performance. This example considers the case of a torsion sphere which is known to feature a ... Read More
The dispersion curves for a fluid-filled pipe with elastic walls are computed and compared with the analytical results for a pure elastic and an acoustic waveguide, respectively. Results show good agreement and also provide insight into the dynamics of the fluid-filled pipe at low and ... Read More
This model illustrates the modeling of slider motion caused by a base rotation. The motion of the slider is analyzed under various forces such as inertia force, centrifugal force, spring force and damping force. The prismatic joint, which is used to connect the two components, is spring ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to model ultrasound imaging in human tissue using an imaging probe composed of piezoelectric arrays that generate steered and focused beams. Simulating this process requires a transient multiphysics model to accurately capture sound generation, propagation, ... Read More
This example model simulates the long-path echo of trumpet sounds reflected from a building 500 m away. The echo can only be heard at night because of the acoustic ray refraction in the atmosphere with different temperature profiles. The model is solved using the ray tracing in the ... Read More
The problem of a plane wave scattering off a cylinder-shaped object suggests the use of the 2D axisymmetric formulation. This can save computation time and reduce the memory usage compared to the model in 3D space. This example demonstrates the use of the built-in plane wave expansion ... Read More
This example uses the thermal expansion of a laminated composite shell model to demonstrate the use of the feature Thermal Contact, Interface, applied on interfaces between layers in a laminated composite shell. The first study is computed neglecting this additional thermal resistance in ... Read More
A load carrying component of a structure is subjected to multi-axial cyclic loading during which localized yielding of the material occurs. In this model you perform a low cycle fatigue analysis of the part based on the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) model. Due to localized yielding, you ... Read More
When estimating the parameters of a multiphysics model, both experimental noise and modeling uncertainties will contribute to corresponding uncertainties in the final parameters estimated. In this verification example, we demonstrate the new Variance functionality in the Parameter ... Read More
