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 example exemplifies how to model applications using the Events Interface where a thermostat is simulated. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Implementing a Thermostat with the Events Interface". Read More
When radiation occurs across a very narrow gap this is often well-approximated as radiation between infinite parallel plates. This model considers three aluminum plates separated by narrow air gaps. The model compares the classical approach, based on the Surface-to-Surface Radiation ... Read More
The "Smart Radiator Device," a multilayer structure, has the capability to control thermal emissivity at different temperatures. This multilayer structure is lightweight thus finds its application in spacecraft mission. The thermochromic vanadium oxide (VO2) material is the heart of ... Read More
This model file was used for creating the plots featured in the blog post "How to Model Ion-Exchange Membranes and Donnan Potentials". Read More
This tutorial model demonstrates the use of the features for heat transfer in layered shells, to account for the curvature of the layers when applying heat fluxes and heat sources. The results obtained with the Heat Transfer in Shells interface applied to a boundary (with extra ... Read More
In this model, a linear magnetic gear system with a gear ratio of 11:4 is modeled. The liner magnetic gear is assumed to be infinitely long with the modular structure that is repeating on either side. Only a single modular section is modeled by using the customized linear periodic ... Read More
This model demonstrates 2D topology optimization for the problem of minimum mass subject to a compliance constraint and a stress constraint. The stress constraint is implemented with a P-norm global aggregation function. The stress input to this is interpolated differently than the Young ... Read More
This model demonstrates the effect of the hopper design on the resulting flow patterns of the grains exiting the hopper. The flow changes from mass flow to funnel flow when the conical angle of the hopper is increased. Read More
This model demonstrates how to tune the lowest natural frequency of the diaphragm of a MEMS microphone using Shape Optimization. The Stationary then Eigenfrequency study modifies the shape of the suspension springs that support the diaphragm. Although the model is in 3D, shape change is ... Read More
Radial magnetic coupling between two permanent magnet rotors is modeled using the Rotating Machinery, Magnetic interface. The permanent magnets in the inner and the outer rotors are outward flux-focused and inward flux-focused to maximize the coupling torque. Read More
