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 example resembles the well-known double-slit interference experiment often demonstrated in schools with water waves or sound. The model mimics the plane-wave excitation with two thin waveguides leading to slits in a screen and computes the diffraction pattern on the opposite side of ... Read More
This tutorial example models the currents and the concentration of dissolved metal ions in a battery (corrosion cell) made from an orange and two metal nails. This type of battery is commonly used in chemistry lessons. Instead of an orange, lemons or potatoes can also be used. Read More
This model shows how to use the scattered field formulation to compute the transmission coefficient for impinging P and S plane elastic waves onto a finite size phononic crystal. The transmission tends to zero in the frequency range corresponding to P- and S-wave band gaps, as ... Read More
A gearbox is used to transfer power from an engine to its associated wheels or cogs, which can result in radiating noise to the surroundings. This is due to the transmission of undesired lateral and axial forces on the bearings and housing, while transmitting power from one shaft to the ... Read More
Side reactions and degradation processes may lead to a number of undesirable effects, causing capacity loss in lithium-ion batteries. Typically, aging occurs due to multiple complex phenomena and reactions that occur simultaneously at different places in the battery, and the degradation ... Read More
This model showcases how to solve for the scattered field when knowing the incident field for three different types of scatterer, i.e. an infinitely rigid one, a cavity and an elastic inclusion. This formulation can be useful when the scatterer is in the far-field of the source, such ... Read More
The bracket models are used as an introduction to structural mechanics modeling with the Structural Mechanics Module. The following features are introduced: The fundamentals: static linear analysis Parametric study Including initial strain Modeling thermal expansion Adding a rigid ... Read More
Freefrom optics has generated renewed interest due to advances in fabrication and manufacturing technology. In this Application Library example, we are going to look at a specific design called the Alvarez lens where two complementary conic surfaces are shifted laterally with respect to ... Read More
Oscillating chemical reactions were long thought to simply not exist in homogeneous solution, and even the poster child, the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction, met such an initial skepticism, that even though it was discovered in 1951, it took almost 20 years for it to gain widespread fame. ...

Metal hydride tanks offer safe hydrogen storage, thanks to their low reactivity, and a relatively high hydrogen density. When developing metal hydride hydrogen tank designs, modeling and simulation is useful for optimizing operating conditions, such as gas composition, pressure, and ... Read More
