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 example demonstrates the wrinkling of a thin rectangular sheet stretched uniaxially. First, a static analysis is performed to determine the region of negative principal stresses without wrinkling. Next, a prestressed buckling analysis is carried out to find out the linearized ... Read More
The Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST) is a testing technique to precipitate failure of electronic devices under elevated temperature and high humidity environment. This model demonstrates the structural analysis of a plastic encapsulated IGBT module under the HAST testing condition. ... Read More
This is a primer model of a permanent magnet machine. It is a generic model that can be modified to simulate a motor or generator. It demonstrates different capabilities of COMSOL Multiphysics® to examine aspects of machine design, such as air gap magnetomotive force (MMF), ... Read More
This model demonstrates topology optimization for a problem involving acoustic-structure interaction for a sound partition problem. The objective being to reduce sound transmission for a fixed solid material fraction. The design domain is modeled with a mixed formulation using the Solid ... Read More
In this example, a hydrogen plasma reactor at moderate pressure is studied using a global model. The heavy species heat equation is included. In the first part of the study, a Maxwellian electron energy distribution function is used. In the second part, the global model is solved self ... Read More
This model simulates convective heat transfer in a channel filled with water. To reduce memory requirements, the model is solved repeatedly on a pseudo-periodic section of the channel. Each solution corresponds to a different section, and before each solution step the temperature at the ... Read More
A steel ball is pressed down against a rubber membrane. When the contact pressure exceeds a certain value, the two parts start sticking together. When the ball is retracted, the membrane is pulled upwards in the bonded region. During the retraction, the bond is partially broken. This ... Read More
This example demonstrates how you can use modeling to investigate the performance of different hydrodynamic journal bearings. The model uses the Hydrodynamic Bearing interface, which solves the Reynolds equation to compute the pressure developed in a thin fluid film for four different ... Read More
This model demonstrates alternative implementations used for describing a thin layer and the impact of the choice on the continuity of the displacement and stress fields. It is shown how a perfect interface can be obtained by asymptotically changing the material parameters. Read More
Modeling and simulation is useful for evaluating the feasibility of storing hydrogen underground. In this example of a geological formation, hydrogen is injected through an injection well at a rate of 1 kg/s over a period of 2 years, until it is ready to be extracted and discharged ... Read More
