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.
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
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
This model simulates the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow of a dielectric liquid around a wire electrode positioned between two parallel flat-plate electrodes. The ion transport is described using the Poisson–Nernst–Planck equations, while fluid motion is governed by the Navier–Stokes ... Read More
Say you would like to simulate a natural material or an arrangement of parts that have some known statistical distribution of dimensional variations. In such cases, you can create a random geometry based on these variations. This model file is an example that demonstrates how to create ... Read More
Electromagnetic scattering simulation for an object with continuous rotational symmetry can be performed in 2D axisymmetry instead of 3D to drastically reduce computational time and resources. This model shows how to simulate arbitrary plane wave incidence in 2D axisymmetric models by ... 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
When estimating the parameters of a multiphysics model, both experimental noise and modeling uncertainties will contribute to corresponding uncertainties in the final parameters estimated. In this verification example, we demonstrate the new Variance functionality in the Parameter ... Read More
In this extension of the model Optical Scattering off a Gold Nanosphere, the transmission spectra due to spherical nanoparticles of gold with varying radii dispersed in glass are computed and mapped onto the CIE 1931 and sRGB colorspaces. For a description of this model, see the ... Read More
One of the ways we can simplify and reduce the size and computational complexity of a finite element model is by using any symmetries present in a model. In this entry, you can find three practical examples highlighting how to exploit symmetries in RF or wave optics modeling. They all ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to find the optimal size and position of a water pipe in an air chamber, so that the energy absorption in the water is maximized. The objective is implemented as a constraint, so that the optimization terminates, when the desired performance is achieved. Read More
