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 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
The model of 1D Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) has been recomputed with the three different kinds of electron energy distribution functions (EEDFs): The Maxwellian function The Druyvesteyn function The computed EEDF based on the Boltzmann Equation, Two-Term Approximation ... Read More
This model performs a transient analysis of the temperature through a house wall. The wall is formed of different layers corresponding to the structure, insulation and plaster. On the exterior and the interior, the wall is exposed to thermal radiation and convective cooling. The results ... Read More
This tutorial computes the transfer matrix of a tube and coupler measurement test setup. This type of setup is used for standardized testing, for example, for miniature loudspeakers or hearing aids. The Port boundary condition in Pressure Acoustics, Frequency Domain is used together ... Read More
The model demonstrates the basics of the 3-omega method. The coupled electromagnetic heating problem is solved in a solid sample which is heated by a thin copper strip, deposited on the surface of a sample. Analyzing the frequency dependence of the voltage oscillation amplitude, we ... Read More
Basin-type insulators are critical components in Gas-Insulated Metal-Enclosed Switchgear (GIS). During the manufacturing process, the curing of epoxy resin can generate residual stresses that may lead to the formation of cracks. Over time, these cracks can cause partial discharges, ... Read More
This is a benchmark model for the linearized Euler interface of the Acoustics Module. The model is from the NASA "Fourth Computational Aeroacoustics (CAA) Workshop on Benchmark Problems (2004)". The model results are compared to an analytical solution by Agarwal et al. (AIAA Vol. 42, No. ... Read More
This model simulates the propagation of a double-headed streamer in nitrogen at atmospheric pressure. Initially, electron-positive ion clusters were introduced between two parallel electrodes, subjecting the gas to a strong background electric field of 52 kV/cm. Subsequently, both the ... Read More
In a polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzer cell, hydrogen and oxygen gas is produced by electrolysis. The hydrogen and oxygen compartments are separated by a polymer membrane, that also acts as electrolyte. This introductory tutorial computes the ohmic and activation losses in ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to use a space-time formulation to optimize a heating profile over time. Get an overview in the accompanying blog post Equation-Based Modeling with a Space-Time Discretization. Read More
