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.
In this application, a solution is pumped through a catalytic bed where a solute species reacts as it gets in contact with the solid catalyst. The purpose of this example is to maximize the total reaction rate for a given total pressure difference across the bed, by finding the optimal ... Read More
This model demonstrate how to simulate ray tracing in a pinhole camera viewing a solar eclipse. To keep the model dimensions in check, the Sun and Moon are approximated using planar discs with the appropriate angular size (~0.5 degree) relative to the pinhole. In this example, the ... Read More
Two approaches are demonstrated to introduce a goal-seeking Global Equation into a COMSOL Multiphysics® model. This Global Equation acts to adjust a single input of the model such that any single scalar output of the model takes on a desired target value, or goal. Learn more in ... Read More
This model demonstrates continuous magnetophoretic separation of particles in a 3D microfluidic Y-channel using a permanent magnet. Separation is achieved through the balance between the magnetophoretic force and hydrodynamic drag. 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. To assess the performance of quadrature sets in complex geometries, results of incident irradiation and ... 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 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
This example of a plasmonic waveguide filter shows that the waveguide rejects the electromagnetic radiation of the wavelength between 1.4 um and 1.6 um, but allows the rest of the wavelength. The silver material can be modeled using the Drude-Lorentz approximation, with ε∞ = 3.7, ωp = 13 ... 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
This model demonstrates how to model the inductive heating of a material with a temperature-dependent BH curve using the Magnetic Fields Formulation interface. Read More
