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.
These tutorial models show how to use the tools to assist with defining surface-to-surface radiation models. In the first model, radiation direction symbols are used to find an unexpected configuration where the opacity is not correctly defined. In the other, the topology check ... Read More
The Drift Diffusion interface solves a pair of reaction/advection/diffusion equations, one for the electron density and the other for the mean electron energy. This tutorial example computes the electron number density and mean electron energy in a drift tube. Electrons are released due ... 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 example illustrates the versatility of the Reaction Engineering interface. The hydrogen iodine reaction is modeled in a batch reactor with constant volume. Both isothermal and non-isothermal conditions are modeled. Read More
Soft permanent magnets like AlNiCo are easily demagnetized if handled incorrectly. This is a demonstration of how to model the self-demagnetization of a cylindrical AlNiCo magnet when moved out of its associated/protective magnetic circuit. The modeling is performed in three steps: The ... Read More
Diaphragm accumulators are essential components that store energy and regulate hydraulic systems. A flexible rubber diaphragm divides the hydraulic fluid from a compressible inert gas, typically nitrogen. These accumulators perform multiple tasks, such as temporarily storing hydraulic ... Read More
This model shows how to simulate the complex discharge physics behind the well-known electrostatic discharge (ESD). The model connects the Electrical Discharge interface with the Circuit interface to simulate how ESD current is generated when a human hand touches metal. Read More
1D model of a thermal energy storage (TES) system consisting of a packed bed of pellets. Three approaches for heat transfer in porous media are compared: A one-equation local thermal equilibrium (LTE) model A two-equations local thermal nonequilibrium (LTNE) model A multiscale ... Read More
In applications where pressure waves and elastic waves propagate in porous materials filled with air both thermal and viscous losses are important. This is typically the case in insulation materials for room acoustics or lining materials in car cabins. Another example is porous materials ... 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
