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.
Lamb-wave resonators are useful components for many radio-frequency applications. This example shows how you model an aluminum nitride Lamb wave resonator and perform eigenfrequency and frequency-response analyses to characterize the device. The tutorial uses the Electric Currents in ... Read More
The elastic cantilever beam is one of the elementary structures used in MEMS designs. This model shows the bending of a cantilever beam under an applied electrostatic load. The model solves the deformation of the beam under an applied voltage. Read More
This tutorial demonstrates the operation of a gyroscope based on design provided by Dr. James Ransley at Veryst Engineering, LLC. The model uses the Electromechanics coupling with the mixed finite element formulation in the Electrostatics interface. Read More
The heat exchanger in this tutorial model contains a dynamic wall with an oscillating wave shape. The deformation induces mixing in the fluid and reduces the formation of thermal boundary layers. Hence, it increases heat transfer between the walls and the fluid. In addition, the wave ... Read More
This model demonstrates the "butterfly" filling mechanism for copper electrodeposition in a Through-Hole (TH) via exposed to an electrolyte containing halide-suppressor additives. The Tertiary Current Distribution, Nernst Planck interface in combination with Deformed Geometry is used ... Read More
This example models cathodic protection of a steel reinforcing bar in concrete. Three different electrochemical reactions are considered on the steel surface. Charge and oxygen transport are modeled in the concrete domain, where the electrolyte conductivity and oxygen diffusivity depend ... Read More
Wind strakes on a chimney impede the uniform detachment along the height of the chimney, which can induce vibrations and eventually lead to fatigue at the footing of the chimney. A stationary turbulent flow simulation is computed for a chimney with strakes mounted on a factory building. ... Read More
A Mach-Zehnder modulator is used for controlling the amplitude of an optical wave. The input waveguide is split up into two waveguide interferometer arms. If a voltage is applied across one of the arms, a phase shift is induced for the wave passing through that arm. When the two arms are ... Read More
One-sided magnets are magnets designed to have both magnetic poles emerging from the same side of the magnet. This results in the magnetic flux being concentrated on one side of the magnet. These kinds of magnets are found in many applications from the common fridge magnet to particle ... Read More
A magnet moving axially through the center of a coil will induce a voltage across the coil terminals. One practical application of this is in shaker flashlights, where the flashlight is vigorously shaken back and forth, causing a magnet to move through a multi-turn coil, which provides ... Read More
