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.
Modeling and simulation is useful for evaluating the feasibility of storing hydrogen underground. In this example of a geological formation, hydrogen is injected through an injection well at a rate of 1 kg/s over a period of 2 years, until it is ready to be extracted and discharged ... Read More
The present model demonstrates diffusion-controlled electrodeposition of copper on microstructured band electrode arrays (MEA). Mass transport by Fickian diffusion of copper ions is solved using the Transport of Diluted Species interface. Dendrite formation as a consequence of diffusion ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates the use of the Heat and Moisture Flow predefined interface for the modeling of heat transfer and moisture transport in a turbulent air flow, with the quantification of evaporation and condensation on surfaces, and the automatic handling of the associated latent ...

Intended as a tool for early proof of concept in capacitive touchscreen device development, the Touchscreen Simulator app evaluates a simulated capacitance matrix as well as the electric field norm. The app computes the capacitance matrix of a touchscreen in the presence of a human ... Read More
Light collimation or focusing is a basic task often needed when working with lasers in the lab where singlets are used due to their simplicity. If a plano-convex lens is used for the task, there is a correct lens orientation that minimizes aberrations. A useful rule-of-thumb is to ... Read More
Bearing clearances should be kept minimum to avoid non-synchronous vibration of a rotor. However, a tight clearance reduces the durability of the bearing. This example illustrates modeling of the vibration induced by nonlinear contact for different radial clearances. It is shown that ... Read More
Topology optimization can result in novel designs due the extreme design freedom associated with the method. Conventional manufacturing techniques impose constraints on the geometry which are often violated by topology optimization. This model demonstrates how the milling constraint ... Read More
Lamb-wave resonators are useful components for many radio-frequency applications. This example shows how you model an aluminum nitride Lamb wave resonator and perform eigenfrequency and frequency-response analyses to characterize the device. The tutorial uses the Electric Currents in ... Read More
A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is a periodic structure formed from alternating dielectric layers that can be used to achieve nearly total reflection within a range of frequencies. The main advantage of DBRs over ordinary metallic mirrors is that DBRs can be engineered to have custom ... Read More
This model demonstrates how the sun causes 1.75 arcseconds of deflection for rays grazing the sun's surface as observed from the earth. Einstein predicted this value after refining his theory of relativity during World War I. Read More
