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 problem of a plane wave scattering off a cylinder-shaped object suggests the use of the 2D axisymmetric formulation. This can save computation time and reduce the memory usage compared to the model in 3D space. This example demonstrates the use of the built-in plane wave expansion ... Read More
This tutorial shows the analysis of a car cabin in order to study the performance of a sound system in the low to mid frequency range. The model studies the transient response to an emitted Gaussian modulated harmonic signal solved with the Pressure Acoustics, Time Explicit physics ... Read More
This model describes the pressure wave propagation in a muffler for an internal combustion engine. The purpose of the model is to show how to analyze both inductive and resistive damping in pressure acoustics as well as coupling the fluid to the surrounding elastic shell structure of the ...

This example uses the Electric Currents in Layered Shells interface and the Layered Shell interface to model a piezoresistive pressure sensor. The tutorial considers the design of the MPX100 series pressure sensors originally manufactured by Motorola Inc. Although the sensor is no ... Read More
A tubular centrifuge is a type of centrifugal separation device that is often used for separation of very fine solid particles from a liquid. It can be run in both a continuous and batch type configurations. The device usually consists of a cylindrical rotating bowl with a large aspect ... Read More
KOH(aq), an alkali metal hydroxide solution, is widely used in anisotropic wet etching technology and is one of the most commonly utilized solutions for micromachining silicon wafers. Anisotropic etching refers to a process where the etching rate varies in different directions, primarily ... Read More
This verification model uses the Electromagnetic Waves, Boundary Elements interface to simulate the RCS of perfectly conducting sphere. The simulated result is compared to analytical calculation to verify the accuracy. Read More
This model computes the fundamental eigenfrequency and eigenmode for a tuning fork that is synchronized from Inventor® via the LiveLink™ interface. The length of the fork is then optimized so that the tuning fork sounds the note A, 440 Hz. Read More
In this tutorial, the acoustics of an open-plan office space are analyzed using a wave-based approach in the time domain. An initial pulse is released and the room response is analyzed. Realistic frequency-dependent impedance conditions for the ceiling, carpet, and gypsum walls are ... Read More
In this example, the dynamics of a hopping hoop is simulated. A rigid rolling ring with a point mass on the perimeter can, under certain conditions, jump up from the surface on which it is rolling. The effects of different parameters like initial velocity and friction are explored. You ... Read More
