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 an efficient approach to simulating a thin, spherical, large radome using a 2D axisymmetric formulation with cubic discretization. The axisymmetric method captures full 3D behavior for azimuthally symmetric geometries at only a fraction of the computational cost. ... Read More
These two example models demonstrate how state variables (new in COMSOL Multiphysics® version 5.5) can be used to define and use history-dependent variables. Learn more in the accompanying blog post: "How to Use State Variables in COMSOL Multiphysics®" Read More
In microfluidic devices, it is a challenge to mix different fluids. One method is to use acoustic streaming to create a flow which enhances the mixing of two fluids. In this model, the vibrations of PDMS structures in a channel induces fast acoustic streaming used for mixing a diluted ... Read More
This app simulates a micromixer based on an imported CAD geometry. The app shows how you can use the Application Builder to build an app that can handle CAD import and let the user interactively select boundary conditions. The app shows how this can be done without any programming using ... Read More
This example simulates Trichel pulses produced by negative corona discharge under a point-to-plate configuration. The electron density and the electric field are obtained, as well as the discharge current. The discharge current clearly shows the pulsating characters. Each current pulse ... Read More
One of the possible formats when working with scanned data is images for the slices of an MRI or CT scan. This is an example with images from the cross sections of the different levels of a human head. In short, the procedure includes creating curve objects of each of the images using ... Read More
The liquid electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) typically consists of a lithium salt, such as LiPF6, dissolved in one or several solvents. Commercial LIBs commonly employ a mix of multiple hydrocarbon-based solvents along with additional additives. In an electrolyte consisting of ... Read More
A demultiplexer is a device that directs different frequency bands to different outputs. In this tutorial model, we will design a demultiplexer by performing shape optimization on all initial circular boundaries in a sonic crystal (phononic crystal) configuration. The model uses shape ... Read More
This example exemplifies how to model the Beer-Lambert law using the core functionality of COMSOL Multiphysics. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Modeling Laser-Material Interactions with the Beer-Lambert Law". Read More
Because the atmosphere is nearly transparent to wavelengths in the range 8 to 13 µm (atmospheric window) for a clear sky, it is possible to cool down a surface even during a sunny day. This model compares the temperature distribution on a concrete block exposed to ambient and solar ... Read More
