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 tutorial model demonstrates the use of the multiphysics coupling feature Thermal Connection, Layered Shell, Surfaces. In this model, one layered shell is connected to heat domains by a facing boundary. The results obtained with the Heat Transfer in Shells interface are compared with ... Read More
In this model, an axial field magnetic gear with a gear ratio of 5:2 is modeled. Both the high-speed and low-speed rotors consist of permanent magnets and back iron. The low-speed rotor consists of five pole pairs, while the high-speed rotor consists of two pole pairs and the stationary ... 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
Active aerodynamics systems actuate components on a vehicle dynamically to improve fuel efficiency, optimize cooling, and enhance stability. A drag reduction system (DRS) is an example of an active aerodynamic technology, which is often used in Formula 1® cars to overtake other cars ... 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
This model demonstrates two approaches to model the acoustics in a generic nacelle with an acoustic liner and a background flow. The first method uses the Compressible Potential Flow and the* Linearized Potential Flow, Frequency Domain* interfaces, while the second, more detailed ... Read More
This model shows how to model a simple Metal–Insulator–Metal (MIM) diode. The two metal electrodes are defined on each side using the Metal Contact feature. Two studies were performed: one without quantum tunneling across the potential barrier and the other including it, using the WKB ... Read More
This tutorial shows how the displacement field of a deformed surface can be fit to a Zernike polynomial basis. The method of linear least-squares fitting is made significantly easier when fitting to an orthonormal basis, such as the Zernike polynomials on a circle. The displacement ... Read More
Rayleigh-Bénard's convection cells is a classic in fluid dynamics. We present here two different approaches for computing the critical Rayleigh number above which the cells form. Read More
Modeling the penetration of a needle into soft materials, such as gelatin, involves several complex mechanical challenges, including large deformations, high friction, contact forces, and material failure. This example simulates the needle insertion process into tissue-like materials ... Read More
