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 model demonstrates dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in air subjected to an AC applied voltage. As the voltage amplitude increases, the discharge intensity correspondingly strengthens. Furthermore, the dominant component of the discharge current transitions from displacement ... Read More
An interesting question was raised in the 1950s by the mathematician Ernst Straus that, in an arbitrarily shaped empty room with side walls made of perfect mirrors, will a point light source always illuminate the whole room? This question was answered by the Nobel Prize-winning ... Read More
The model shows how to estimate the Young's modulus and Poisson ratio based on a tensile test. The test measures the tensile force and the radial displacement. Typical numerical values of these quantities differ with around 10 orders of magnitude. Using a maximum likelihood strategy ... 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 tutorial shows how to simulate coupled heat and moisture transport in a wall made of a load bearing and an insulation layer. Moisture and temperature conditions vary with time on both sides of the wall and rain loading is included. The 1D model is a benchmark test defined in ... 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 use the chatbot functionality in COMSOL Multiphysics® to add annotations to a model of a pacemaker electrode. To learn more about this model, see our accompanying blog post “Using the Chatbot Window in COMSOL Multiphysics®”. Read More
In this multibody dynamics model of a simple counterweight trebuchet, a parametric sweep is used to study throwing distance as function of the sling length. For more details on performing a multibody analysis of a counterweight trebuchet, see this blog post: What Is the Physics Behind a ... Read More
When you are working with foreign CAD or ECAD data, such as files in the STEP, GDS, or IGES file formats, or any of the other supported formats, you may think that you need to re-import a new CAD file and start your modeling over from scratch if you want to study a change in size or ... Read More
This model shows the workflow to define a transfer orbit trajectory with user defined orbit option. The direct solar, albedo, and Earth radiative thermal loads are analyzed during the transfer from low Earth orbit to geostationary orbit. Read More
