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.
A 3D model of an acoustic trap in a glass capillary with a bias flow through the capillary. The acoustics is actuated by an oscillating electric potential across a piezoelectric transducer, inducing mechanical vibrations in the solid, and an acoustic pressure field in the fluid. The heat ... Read More
This model and tutorial demonstrates the use of an Application Method to compute and plot the geometric Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) for the Petzval Lens. Read More
In this example, the dynamics of a hopping hoop is simulated. A rigid rolling ring with a point mass on the perimeter can, under certain conditions, jump up from the surface on which it is rolling. The effects of different parameters like initial velocity and friction are explored. You ... Read More
This tutorial investigates the acoustic properties of a porous layer made of glass wool. The porous material has transverse isotropic properties and is modeled with the full anisotropic poroelastic material model. Read More
Anechoic coatings are used on submarines to reduce sonar reflections. This model calculates the reflection, absorption, and transmission properties of an anechoic coating on a steel plate. The calculated results from this sub-model can be used in larger system scale models, for example, ... Read More
This model analyzes the scattering of a plane propagating modulated Gaussian pulse off a submarine hull. The scattered field and the spatial response are also determined. The model uses the Pressure Acoustics, Time Explicit interface to model this large acoustic model in the time domain. ... Read More
The Poroelasticity interface couples Darcy's law and solid mechanics to assess deformation of porous media that results from fluid withdrawals. The model builds on top of the Terzaghi Compaction example. Results from Terzaghi compaction and Biot poroelasticity analyses are compared to ... Read More
This model studies free and forced vibrations of a deep beam. The solution for eigenfrequency, frequency response and transient analysis are computed using a Timoshenko beam and compared with analytical results. Read More
Including circumferential displacements in a 2D axisymmetric Solid Mechanics interface allows to compute twist and bending deformations. This model determines stress concentration factors for a hollow shaft for load cases of axial extension, torsion, as well as bending, using a ... Read More
Wave heated discharges may be very simple, where a plane wave is guided into a reactor using a waveguide, or very complicated as in the case with ECR (electron cyclotron resonance) reactors. In this example, a wave is launched into reactor and an Argon plasma is created. The wave is ... Read More
