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 shows how to simulate moisture redistribution inside a wall with capillary active interior insulation. The wall consists of three layers: brick, mortar and insulating material. At the beginning of simulation, there is a sudden change in vapor pressure and temperature at ... Read More
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the most effective methods in molecular biology, medical diagnostics, and biochemical engineering in amplifying a specific sequence of DNA. There has been a great interest in developing portable PCR-based lab-on-a-chip systems for point-of-care ... Read More
This application generates both random and deterministic microstructures from imported CAD models or predefined primitive objects. Structures can be created using Gaussian random fields, random particles, periodic geometries such as gyroids and other TPMS structures, or combinations ... Read More
The Turbulent flow, Elliptic Blending R-ε interface is used to analyze fully developed turbulent flow in a spanwise rotating channel. Due to the influence of the Coriolis force on turbulence, profiles of the flow variables are skewed at moderate rotation rates. An asymmetry between the ... Read More
Mechanical precession prevents bicycle pedals from falling off. The model captures this effect using a multibody dynamics simulation together with a contact analysis. A friction coefficient is associated with the contact in order for the model to capture the effect. Read More
This model uses the Granular Flow and Membrane interfaces to simulate the packing of spherical grains in a flexible container, a procedure often found in the processing industry. In this example, grains are packed into a cubic container constructed of a thin polymer fabric. Two packing ... Read More
This study presents a two-stage discrete element method (DEM) simulation of thermal conduction in compressed granular materials. In the first stage, a granular bed composed of spherical grains is mechanically compacted by applying a constant pressure of 20 kPa through a downward moving ... Read More
This example demonstrates the usage of the Scattered Field formulation to compute the scattering of light off of a single scatterer on top of a dielectric half-space. It uses the analytic Fresnel equations to design the background field. For a detailed introduction to this model, see ... Read More
In this extension of the model Optical Scattering off a Gold Nanosphere, the transmission spectra due to spherical nanoparticles of gold with varying radii dispersed in glass are computed and mapped onto the CIE 1931 and sRGB colorspaces. For a description of this model, see the ... Read More
These example models demonstrate using the Image to Curve add-in, which is included in COMSOL Multiphysics®. One example shows a simple structural analysis. An image of an H-beam is imported to a work plane and then extruded. A distributed load is applied to the beam's top ... Read More
