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 the heat conduction in a thermal bridge made up of an iron bar and an insulation layer that separates a hot internal side from a cold external side. The heat flux between internal and external side and the maximum temperature on the external wall are compared them with ... Read More
This example simulates particles in a range of sizes that move through different levels of a cascade impactor. A cascade impactor is an inertial particle separation device consisting of multiple levels separated by collecting plates and nozzles. Particle-laden air enters from the top ... Read More
A bipolar membrane consists of one anion-selective, and one cation-selective membrane, in contact with each other. The combined cation and anion selectivity makes the bipolar membrane highly impermeable to all ions, with the exception of H+ and OH- which are formed by water splitting ... 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
This tutorial model demonstrates the use of the Moisture Flow coupling node to account for the Stefan flow in moist air, over an evaporation surface. The effects on the velocity field and vapor concentration are presented with different ambient temperature conditions. Read More
This model simulates the velocity of the ionic wind generated by a wire-to-wire corona discharge. Ionic wind, created by the movement of charged particles in an electric field, can be harnessed for various applications, including cooling electronic components and enhancing heat ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to use the Interior Contact feature to model the contact pressure at a bolted joint connecting two copper busbars. The AC current flowing through the assembly is induced to flow close to the outside boundaries of the conductors, but the contact resistance is ... Read More
This benchmark studies the nonlinear deformation of a spherical cap subjected to point load at center using 2D axisymmetric Solid Mechanics and Shell interfaces. The results from the Shell interface are compared with Solid Mechanics interface as well as with analytical results given in ... 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
Buckling is a structural instability that can lead to failure of a component even without initial material failure. Computation of the critical buckling loads and mode shapes can therefore be important from a design viewpoint, even though it has previously been determined that the ... Read More
