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.
In this example, the Bergstrom–Bischoff material model is used to model the temperature and strain dependent behavior of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) used, for example, to make liners for damaged pipes in oil and gas applications, or to make type IV hydrogen storage vessels for fuel ...

A Hall effect sensor is a semiconductive material with an anisotropic conductivity that is a function of the magnetic field. A magnet, mounted on a wheel, is rotated around nearby the sensor and the variation in the electric potential across the sensor is modeled. For complete ... Read More
This is a demonstration of how to use the thermodynamics functionality in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to make flash calculations. A flash calculation is an equilibrium calculation of a system where several species and phases are present at the same time. The system in ... Read More
In this model, two flat end mirrors are placed at a distance and a spherical lens is inserted in the middle of the cavity. A ray is released from a point inside the cavity. Then the ray is traced for a predefined time period that is sufficiently long. Ray tracing continues until the ... Read More
Induction pumps are used in high temperature cooling systems. The principle of operation is equivalent to a linear three phase induction motor. The lack of moving parts and the pumped liquid being kept in a hermetically closed system are clear advantages. This model shows how to simulate ... Read More
This example simulates the separation of particles based on the size in a microchannel using the method of pinched flow fractionation. The microdevice has two inlets and multiple outlets where the velocity field of liquid flow is calculated using the Laminar Flow interface. Then the ... Read More
This example involves a static 2D axisymmetric analysis of a piezoelectric actuator using the Piezoelectric Devices physics interface. It models a radially polarized piezoelectric tube, as described by S. Peelamedu and co-authors. An application area where radially polarized tubes are ... Read More
The dynamic response of a human body in any vibration environment can be predicted using this biomechanical model. In the automobile industry for instance, this model can be used in ride quality simulation and designing vibration isolators such as seats. In this example, a ... Read More
Flow over a cavity and the tonal noise generated is a typical flow noise source in piping systems that have valves and other cavities. This tutorial model represents a simple case of cavity flow noise in a ducted system. The model is set up based on an example from Lafon et al. The ... Read More
This benchmark example builds two models of a cross-bridge Kelvin resistor used for extracting the specific contact resistivity. The first model simulates the system in 3D, using the contact resistance feature built in the Semiconductor interface. The other model is a 2D approximation of ... Read More
