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 analyzes the operation of a micromirror in air and the effects of thermoviscous damping on the vibration response. The model includes thermal losses in the structure as well as thermoviscous acoustic phenomena. The model couples the Thermoelasticity multiphysics interface to ... Read More
An AC contactor is a particular type of magnetic switch device, which is activated by a primary coil fed by an alternating current. Unlike DC switches, such devices can suffer from a tendency to reopen when the AC current crosses zero. The addition of a shading coil that supports ... Read More
The pyrolysis of a centimeter-sized wood particle presents a fully coupled multiphysics problem with mass transfer, fluid flow, and heat transfer. This example model consists of two parts. The first part demonstrates how to set up a model describing the pyrolysis of a porous, ... Read More
A plane electromagnetic wave propagating through free space is incident at an angle upon an infinite dielectric medium. This model computes the reflection and transmission coefficients and compares the results to the Fresnel equations. Read More
In this model, we introduce a cloaking method using an electrically tuned monolayer of graphene. We will show that when a cylindrical dielectric scatterer is covered in graphene, the scattering cross section is greatly reduced at the designated frequency, making it electromagnetically ... Read More
In this example, a tensile test is simulated at four different strain rates. The Johnson–Cook hardening law is used to model the strain rate dependency of the plastic hardening. The temperature distribution and thermal expansion caused by the heating generated by the plastic ... Read More
This example shows how to set up multiple sandwiched thin layers with different thermal conductivities in two different ways. First, the composite is modeled as a 3D object. In the second approach the Thin Layer boundary condition with the thermally thick option is used to avoid ... Read More
Fatigue testing of nonlinear materials with creep mechanism is a time-consuming process. In accelerated life testing the experiment time is greatly reduced by subjecting the material to testing conditions in excess of the operating one. In the model an aggressive thermal load cycle is ... Read More
Active magnetic bearings are often used for controlling the vibration level in mechanical systems. In this example, a motor driven rotor system in which the speed of the system is gradually increased is considered. The system vibrates due to existing imbalances. As the rotor speed ... Read More
This tutorial model solves for an inductively coupled plasma reactor with RF bias (also known as ICP/CCP reactors) in a mixture of argon/chlorine. The model computes the fluid flow and gas heating. Important aspects and strategies for modeling electronegative discharges are discussed. Read More
