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.
The model includes a compilation of benchmark examples included in the text book: Shape Memory Alloys: Modeling and Engineering Applications. D. Lagoudas Ed. Springer 2008. The model uses the Souza–Auricchio model and shows the thermomechanical properties of a NiTi alloy sample ... Read More
Switched reluctance motors work on the principle of reluctance torque. The stator and rotor will interact to minimize the reluctance for the flux path. This application simulates the behavior of the motor when the stator winding is excited with a step voltage and when the rotor is at a ... Read More
This model computes the temperature distribution in a battery pack that is in use at a specified power. The current is controlled in Simulink® to ensure constant power during usage. Read More
A magnetic brake consists of a permanent magnet, which induces currents in a rotating copper disk. The resulting eddy currents interact with the magnetic flux to produce Lorentz forces and subsequently a braking torque. The disk angular velocity is computed using Simulink®. Read More
This model illustrates the charge/discharge control of a Lithium-Ion battery in a Simulink® simulation. Read More
Dielectric microspheres can support whispering gallery modes with high optical quality factors. This model illustrates how to compute the different eigenmodes and resonance frequencies. The resonance frequencies are either filtered by their spatial localization in the resonator or by ... Read More
This model simulates the propagation of two frequency bands in a photonic crystal with three ports. The crystal is initially symmetric, so that the two frequency bands are directly equally to either output port. The model optimizes the position of the pillars in order to make the two ... Read More
This benchmark model simulates a graded heterojunction using the thermionic emission formulation for the charge transfer over the junction. It shows the additional contribution to the current density from the quantum tunneling effect across the potential barrier, using the WKB ... Read More
This model calculates the current and charge characteristics of a floating gate Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) device. A stationary study demonstrates the effects of varying the charge stored on the floating gate by computing Current-Voltage curves as a ... Read More
In this model, a turbocharger supported on two floating ring bearings is studied. The film forces on the ring cause it to rotate within the bearing. In steady state, the ring rotates at a constant angular speed and the torque on the ring due to the inner and outer films are balanced. ... Read More
