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 demonstrates how to use the Control Function feature to perform shape optimization on a rectangular horn for an improved on axis response. The results of the initial design are exported to a new component via a Filter dataset. Further, the off-axis spatial response is improved ... 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 example model consists of a two-hot-arm thermal actuator made of polysilicon. The actuator is activated through thermal expansion. The temperature increase required to deform the two hot arms, and thus displace the actuator, is obtained through Joule heating (resistive heating). The ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to partition a 3D part to create a swept mesh. The example explores different strategies for partitioning the geometry, and demonstrates how to combine hexahedral and tetrahedral meshes. Read More
Coplanar waveguide (CPW) bandpass filters can be designed using interdigital capacitors (IDCs) and short-circuited stub inductors (SSIs). This is a very efficient manufacturing method for producing bandpass filters, which can readily be implemented on a GaAs wafer. The Coplanar ... Read More
This is a conceptual model illustrating how to couple fluid-structure interaction, heat transfer, and thermal expansion. A bimetallic strip in an air channel is heated so that it bends. After some time, an airflow with an inlet temperature which varies in time is introduced. As a ... Read More
This model presents a study of the current density distribution in a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). The model includes the full coupling between the mass balances at the anode and cathode, the momentum balances in the gas channels, the gas flow in the porous electrodes, the balance of ... Read More
This example of turbulent flow in a partially baffled turbulent mixer shows how to set up The Rotating Machinery, Turbulent Flow interfaces from the Mixer Module with free surface and stationary free surface features. Both frozen rotor and time-dependent simulations are performed and ... Read More
This model simulates the pressure wave propagation in a muffler for a combustion engine. It uses a general approach for analysis of damping of the propagation of harmonic pressure waves. The model is solved in the frequency domain and provides efficient damping in a frequency range of ... Read More
A capacitive pressure sensor is simulated. This model shows how to simulate the response of the pressure sensor to an applied pressure, and also how to analyze the effects of packing induced stresses on the sensor performance. Read More
