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 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 ...

The AC/DC magnetic interfaces support material models defined in external C code. You can access external material functions, written in C code, which have been compiled into a shared library. By writing a wrapper function in C code, you can also use material functions written in another ... Read More
In this application, a solution is pumped through a catalytic bed where a solute species reacts as it gets in contact with the solid catalyst. The purpose of this example is to maximize the total reaction rate for a given total pressure difference across the bed, by finding the optimal ... Read More
This model showcases the broadband optimization for the Microstructured antireflective coatings that are modeled in the model (#99011). Following are the parameters that are optimized: Rectangular microstructure: Height and width of the rectangular microstructure. Pyramidal ... Read More
This model analyzes the scattering of a plane propagating modulated Gaussian pulse off a submarine hull. The scattered field and the spatial response are also determined. The model uses the Pressure Acoustics, Time Explicit interface to model this large acoustic model in the time domain. ... Read More
This example uses the thermal expansion of a laminated composite shell model to demonstrate the use of the feature Thermal Contact, Interface, applied on interfaces between layers in a laminated composite shell. The first study is computed neglecting this additional thermal resistance in ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to couple the Radiative Beam in Absorbing Media interface to the Radiation in Absorbing-Scattering Media interface. To learn more about this model, see our accompanying blog post “Modeling Absorption and Scattering of Collimated Light”. Read More
In this example, a heat transfer model of a fiber composite's unit cell is analyzed with the Cell Periodicity feature. The homogenized thermal conductivity, density and heat capacity of a composite material are computed based on the individual properties of fiber and matrix. A comparison ... 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
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
