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.
An important step in brewing beer is the fermentation process. Here, alcohol is formed together with various flavor substances from sugars in the presence of yeast. The initial sugar content, temperature, and yeast type dictate how the fermentation proceeds. In this example, the ... Read More
This model simulates the discharge of a Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery using the Battery with Binary Electrolyte interface. The geometry is in one dimension and the model is isothermal. The model serves as an introduction to NiMH modeling, and can be further extended to include ... Read More
This tutorial studies the propagation of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) though a tissue phantom. HIFU is used in many different biomedical applications such as thermal ablation of tumors, transcranial HIFU surgery, shock wave lithotripsy, etc. A HIFU transducer typically ... Read More
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
Plasma discharges containing chlorine are commonly used to etch semiconductors and metals in microelectronics fabrication. This tutorial model studies chlorine plasma discharges using a global (volume-averaged) diffusion model. Global diffusion models can run simulations in a fraction ... Read More
Bearings are used in machines to reduce the friction between moving parts and thereby smooth their relative motion. Rolling element bearings are one of the most widely used bearings, where rolling elements or rollers are used to support the load. These rollers can be of different shapes; ... Read More
Biotechnology is a rapidly growing area in the pharmaceutical sciences. One example of a clinical application is gene therapy, where it is possible to produce proteins in vivo, using the body’s own mechanisms for protein production. Major issues in gene delivery involve the transport of ... Read More
This 2D stationary model computes heat and moisture transport in a wall composed of different hygroscopic materials. A comparison with the Glaser method is given for the temperature and relative humidity solutions. The effect of the use of a vapor barrier is also investigated. Read More
This model analyzes lightning surges in an offshore wind farm. When a lightning strike with a current of 20 kA hit one wind turbine, the induced electric fields in adjacent wind turbines were computed. Read More
Sodium-ion batteries (SIB) are commonly presented as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIB). The SIB chemistry uses Na+ instead of Li+ for electrolyte charge transport and as redox species in the electrode reactions, with the advantage of Na+ being more abundant and with a ... Read More
