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.
A plane electromagnetic wave propagating through free space is incident at an angle upon an infinite dielectric medium. This model computes the reflection and transmission coefficients and compares the results to the Fresnel equations. Read More
Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) is used extensively in self-driving cars to perform the quantitative ranging of the surroundings obstacles. The LIDAR system consists of a laser beam which gets broadened using a MEMS mirror with a particular horizontal and vertical field of view ... Read More
This verification model uses the Electromagnetic Waves, Boundary Elements interface to simulate the RCS of perfectly conducting sphere. The simulated result is compared to analytical calculation to verify the accuracy. Read More
With an increase in the parallel component of the applied field, carriers can gain energies above the ambient thermal energy and be able to transfer energy gained by the field to the lattice by optical phonon emission. The latter effect leads to a saturation of the carriers mobility. The ... Read More
Quantum dots are nano- or microscale devices created by confining free electrons in a 3D semiconducting matrix. Those tiny islands or droplets of confined “free electrons” (those with no potential energy) present many interesting electronic properties. They are of potential importance ... Read More
This example simulates turbulent flow around a sports car traveling at a speed of 180 km/h using Large Eddy Simulations (LES). Read More
Many robot vacuum cleaners nowadays are equipped with lidar for spatial mapping in order to design an optimal cleaning path and navigate in a room without bumping into obstacles. This model simulates the lidar of a robot vacuum cleaner and how it maps out the shape of the room using ... Read More
This example illustrates the principle of wet chemical etching for 2D geometry under laminar flow. The purpose of this tutorial is to examine how the copper substrate material is depleted and how the cavity shape evolves during the wet etching process. Wet chemical etching is ... Read More
The Superlattice Band Gap Tool model helps the design of periodic structures made of two alternating semiconductor materials (superlattices). The model uses the effective mass Schrödinger equation to estimate the electron and hole ground state energy levels in a given superlattice ... Read More
One method of creating spring-like structures or inducing curvature in thin structures is to plate them to substrates that are under the influence of residual stresses. The plating process can control this stress even for similar materials. One such device is the electrostatically ... Read More
