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.
A standing contact fatigue test is a procedure used for testing crack growth on the subsurface level. In such a test, a spherical object is pressed against the tested materials and cycled between a high and low compressive load. No translational movement between the two occurs. After a ... Read More
A benchmark model for the fatigue module. A cylindrical test is subjected to non-proportional loading. Three stress based models: Findley, Matake, Normal stress, are compared to analytical values and to each other. The non-smooth behavior of the Matake model is captured and discussed. Read More
For more than 50 years, it has been known that neutrally buoyant particles in a flow channel tend to converge to specific locations in the channel cross section. For a cylindrical pipe, or two parallel planes carrying a Poiseuille flow, the equilibrium position is about 0.6 times the ... Read More
The design of antireflective coating plays an important role to increase the transmission of the infrared light that propagates through optical structures such as lens and windows. In this model, we showcase how different bulk structures such as Si and CZT that has the bulk ... Read More
Some positive electrode materials are known to deteriorate in overcharged lithium-ion battery cells. Predominantly, manganese containing electrode materials such as LMO and NMC can loose capacity due to manganese dissolving from the materials at overcharge. This decomposition is a ... Read More
The use of Aluminum (Al) isolator is a commonly employed mitigation strategy for galvanic corrosion between magnesium alloy (Mg) and mild steel (MS). The present model demonstrates the effect of Al isolator thickness on galvanic corrosion severity using a parametric study. The electrode ... Read More
This example uses the Granular Flow interface to model the formation of the grain heap and then its subsequent spreading using a cylindrical roller. The roller has a combined rotational and translational motion. The resulting powder bed is then analyzed to determine its quality based on ... Read More
A 3D model is used to simulate the cooling of a bevel gear from an austenitic state. Phase material properties and phase transformation data are imported into the model. The final phase composition and the residual stress state are computed. Phenomena such as thermal strains, phase ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to evaluate the harmonic response of a structure with a moderately nonlinear behavior. A nonlinear problem can only be solved using time-domain analysis. A way to speed up the computation is to use a linearized frequency response analysis to provide good initial ... Read More
This model illustrates the effect of oxygen and hydrogen formation and recombination on the performance and self-discharge of an electrochemical capacitor with a water-based electrolyte. A load cycle consisting of mixed constant current pulses and rest periods at an open circuit is ... Read More
