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.
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 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
This example uses the Granular Flow interface to model the fixed funnel method for calculating the angle of repose, where a funnel is kept at a fixed height. The funnel is first filled with grains which are subsequently released and collected as a heap. The resultant heap is then ... Read More
The electrodes of a lithium-ion battery are porous and consist of an active solid electrode material, a binder, and pores filled with a liquid electrolyte. Expansion of the active material due to lithium intercalation changes the volume fraction of electrolyte-filled pores in the ... Read More
This verification model analyzes the acoustics of two coupled rooms using the Acoustic Diffusion Equation interface of the Acoustics Module. The results of the model agree with numerical results that are validated against measurements in a reference paper. Read More
This application uses the shrinking core model to study the reduction of iron ore pellets. A 1D model of a packed bed containing iron ore pellets is modeled. The bed filling pellets initially consists of solid phase FeO. The pellets are reduced by CO, and the solid core shrinks leaving a ... Read More
During manufacturing or in-service use, the geometric shape of structural components can deviate from their intended design. For example, a hole may lose its perfectly circular form, making it important to measure and control this deviation. The process of quantifying such deviations is ... 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
Creating irregular geometries can be a good solution, even the only option, for some types of applications. These files present a way to use a text file with material properties defined in coordinates to assign different materials even though there is only one regular domain. The same ... Read More
This model demonstrates the use of the Two-Phase Thin-Film Flow, Phase Field multiphysics coupling, which can be used to predict the evolution of an interface between two different, immiscible fluids in thin, narrow channels. The example here presents a free boundary lubrication ... Read More
