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.
Deposition of metallic lithium on the negative electrode in preference to lithium intercalation is known to be a capacity loss and safety concern for lithium-ion batteries. Harsh charge conditions such as high currents (fast charging) and/or low temperatures can lead to lithium plating. ... Read More
This tutorial simulates a standard test and benchmark model for nonreflecting conditions and sponge layers for linearized Euler-like systems. It involves the propagation of a transient Gaussian pulse in a 2D uniform flow. The Convected Wave Equation, Time Explicit interface solves the ... Read More
Battery electrodes featuring large heterogeneities in terms of particle sizes may sometimes not be adequately described by homogenized models using one single particle size only. As an alternative to adding multiple instances of the Additional Porous Electrode material node, this ... Read More
This application shows how a battery cell exposed to a hybrid electric vehicle drive cycle can be investigated with the Lithium-Ion Battery interface in COMSOL. This model predicts the battery behavior to make comparisons of the monitored properties. They can be used to understand the ... Read More
In this tutorial, the propagation of elastic waves in the ground after a seismic event is simulated using a 2D model. The effect of the ground surface topology on the wave propagation is illustrated when an ideal half space is modified with the presence of a small mountain. The model is ... Read More
This example illustrates multiphase flow modeling in an airlift loop reactor. The reactor is filled with water and air bubbles are injected at the bottom through two frits. Due to buoyancy, the bubbles rise, inducing a circulating motion of the liquid. The model specifically investigates ... Read More
Ferroelectric materials exhibit nonlinear polarization behavior such as hysteresis and saturation at large applied electric fields. Many piezoelectric materials are ferroelectric. This model analyzes a simple actuator made of PZT piezoelectric ceramic material, which is subjected to ... Read More
This is a template base model containing the physics, geometry and mesh of a lithium-ion battery, defined in 1D. The model makes use of four lithiation parameters which are used to define the relative balancing of the negative and positive electrodes, as well as global cell state of ... Read More
In a polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyzer cell (PEMEC), the two electrode compartments are separated by a polymer membrane. Liquid water is fed to the anode side, forming oxygen gas on the anode, and hydrogen gas on the cathode side, respectively. The respective designs of the ... Read More
A scanning electron microscope samples images by scanning a target with a high-energy beam of electrons. The subsequent electron interactions produce signals such as secondary and back-scattered electrons that contain information about the sample surface topography. Electromagnetic ... Read More
