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 investigates the electrical and thermal characteristics of a plasma DC arc created in a point-to-plane configuration. The discharge is assumed to be in local thermodynamic equilibrium. The plasma is considered a conductive fluid medium and is modeled using a ... Read More
A microwave circulator is a multiport device in which a wave incident on Port 1 is coupled only into Port 2; a wave incident on Port 2 is coupled only into Port 3; and so on. Circulators are used to isolate microwave components, for example, to couple a transmitter and a receiver to a ... Read More
This example demonstrates a simulation setup for exciting surface plasmon polaritons using Otto and Kretschmann configurations. The underlying mechanism is enabled by the interplay between total internal reflection and evanescent-wave coupling phenomena. It also calculates the ... Read More
In this set of eight tutorial models and associated documentation, you can investigate the resistive, capacitive, inductive, and thermal properties of a standard three-core lead-sheathed XLPE HVAC submarine cable with twisted magnetic armor (500 mm2, 220 kV). The series includes a 2D, 2D ... Read More
The mutual inductance and induced currents between a single turn primary and twenty turn secondary coil in a concentric coplanar arrangement is computed using a frequency domain model. The secondary coil is modeled using a homogenized approach which does not explicitly consider each turn ... Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Geometry parts and parameterized geometries Using tables for user input parameters Visualization on a 2D cross-section of a 3D geometry Improved visualization and user experience when a geometry object (the air object) is hidden. Induction heating ... Read More
The mutual inductance and induced currents between a single turn primary and twenty turn secondary coil in a concentric coplanar arrangement is computed using a frequency domain model. Each turn of the secondary coil is modeled explicitly. The results are compared against analytic ... Read More
A mode analysis study is used to find the complex effective indices for a microstructured optical fiber (MOF), consisting of air holes in a silica host. As the effective index is smaller than the refractive index of the silica background material, the modes are leaky. The model ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to best solve full 3D vibro-electroacoustic multiphysics models of loudspeakers. The model is based on a 3D representation of the existing 2D axisymmetric Application Library model loudspeaker_driver found in the software. The setup of the physics is essentially ... Read More
Multipaction can occur when electrons are accelerated by a high frequency RF field into surfaces. At certain frequencies, the number of electrons in a cavity can grow exponentially. This exponential growth cannot continue indefinitely because space charge effects in the cavity can ... Read More
