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.
The thermal stress in a layered plate is studied in this example. A plate consisting of two layers, a coating and a substrate layer, is stress and strain free at 800 degrees C. The temperature of the plate is reduced to 150 degrees C and thermal stresses are induced due to the difference ... Read More
This example introduces three different models for a lateral flow assay for the detection of coronavirus antibodies. These models are as follows: 3D model for studying possible symmetries in the spreading of the liquid sample in the test strip. The 3D model shows that the flow is ... Read More
This model shows how to simulate carburization and quenching of a steel gear. Diffusion of carbon into the surface of the gear affects the onset of martensitic transformation. Residual stresses are computed, and it is shown that high residual compressive stresses appear at the root of ... Read More
Drying of porous media is an important process in the food and paper industry among others. Many physical effects must be considered: fluid flow, heat transfer with phase change, and transport of participating liquids and gases. All of these effects are strongly coupled, and predefined ...

This model example simulates an air-cooled cylindrical 18650 lithium-ion battery during a charge-discharge cycle, followed by a relaxing period. A lumped (0D) cell model is used to model the battery cell chemistry, and a two-dimensional axi-symmetrical model is used to model the ... Read More
This model determines the reflection coefficient of plane acoustic waves, at different frequencies and at different angles of incidence, off a water-sediment interface. The ability of the Poroelasitc Waves interface to model the coupled acoustic and elastic wave in any porous substance ... Read More
Scientists use the SAR (specific absorption rate) to determine the amount of radiation that human tissue absorbs. This measurement is especially important for mobile telephones, which radiate close to the brain. The model studies how a human head absorbs a radiated wave from an antenna ... Read More
Electromagnetic analysis of a 400kVA, 15kV/400V three-phase power transformer with Y-d connection and multiple primary and secondary coils with hundreds of turns. The model features the standard open- and short-circuit test in 2Daxi and 3D simulations to estimate electrical quantities ... Read More
Light pipes are structures that can be used to transport light between different locations. In general, they can be divided into two major groups: tubes lined with a reflective coating and transparent solids that contain light via total internal reflection. In this tutorial, light is ... Read More
Perforates are plates with a distribution of small perforations or holes. They are used in muffler systems, sound absorbing panels, and in many other places as liners, where it is important to control attenuation precisely. As the perforations become smaller and smaller, viscous and ... Read More
