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.
Gradient-based optimization is an efficient way of computing better values for many control variables. This example optimizes diameters of individual members in a truss structure such that the structure becomes stiffer without adding mass to the structure. The structure will be only be ... Read More
Turbulent flow, SSG-LRR interface is used to analyze fully developed turbulent flow in an axially rotating pipe and in a swirling jet emanating from such a pipe. The resulting flow pattern in the pipe is characterized by slower-than-solid-body rotation. Axial velocity of the swirling jet ... Read More
Finding acoustic eigenmodes in problems solved with linearized convected acoustic interfaces can be a challenging task. The solution will most often return several non-acoustic vorticity and entropy modes. These are highly damped waves that do not propagate at the speed of sound but with ... Read More
When computing ray intensity in 2D axisymmetric models, the wavefront associated with the propagating ray is treated as a spherical or ellipsoidal wave, instead of a cylindrical wave. This tutorial example illustrates how to set up several important features using the Ray Acoustics ... Read More
You can use the Moving Mesh or the Deformed Geometry interface to implement wrapping of a CAD part around one axis. This model demonstrates both how to implement this wrapping, as well as how to subsequently mesh the surrounding volume around the deformed part. A more detailed ... Read More
The TSSG process, namely Top-Seeded Solution Growth, is a method used to grow SiC single crystals. It has the advantages of lower growth temperature and high crystal quality. This model introduces the simulation method of the TSSG process, obtains the temperature distribution of the ... 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
A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is a periodic structure formed from alternating dielectric layers that can be used to achieve nearly total reflection within a range of frequencies. The main advantage of DBRs over ordinary metallic mirrors is that DBRs can be engineered to have custom ... Read More
Carbon corrosion is one of the important degradation mechanisms in a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells which predominantly occurs during start-up or shut down of the fuel cells. During carbon corrosion, carbon support to catalysts is compromised affecting the cell ... Read More
This model is used on "Heat Transfer with Radiation in Participating Media and the Discrete Ordinates Method" to compare quadrature sets used in the method of discrete ordinates. The reference analytical solution of incident irradiation is obtained with 256 discrete directions. Errors in ... Read More
