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 model simulates the long-path echo of trumpet sounds reflected from a building 500 m away. The echo can only be heard at night because of the acoustic ray refraction in the atmosphere with different temperature profiles. The model is solved using the ray tracing in the ... Read More
This tutorial model shows how to import a 3D scanned geometry of a human head and torso and compute the head related transfer function (HRTF). The scan is imported as a .stl file and converted into a COMSOL geometry. The HRTF is computed using the reciprocity principle, locating the ... Read More
This model shows a full vibroacoustic analysis of a loudspeaker including driver, cabinet, and stand. It lets you apply a nominal driving voltage and extract the resulting sound pressure level in the cabinet and in the outside room, as well as the deformation of the cabinet and driver, ... Read More
This model demonstrates the switching capability of a liquid crystal (LC) display cell in In-Plane Switching (IPS) configuration. The Oseen-Frank model is used to solve for the LC director (optical axis) distribution when a static electric field is applied. A Weak Form PDE interface is ... Read More
In this set of eight tutorial models and associated documentation, you can investigate the resistive, capacitive, inductive, and thermal properties of a standard three-core lead-sheathed XLPE HVAC submarine cable with twisted magnetic armor (500 mm2, 220 kV). The series includes a 2D, 2D ... Read More
This tutorial example shows how to perform a random vibration analysis of a structure using power spectral density (PSD). The computations are based on the modal reduced order model (ROM). Read More
In this model, a full transient analysis of a loudspeaker driver is performed, which allow the modeling of nonlinear effects. It extends the linear frequency domain analysis done in the Loudspeaker Driver tutorial model. The analysis accounts for nonlinear behavior of the soft iron in ... Read More
AT cut quartz crystals are widely employed in a range of applications, from oscillators to microbalances. One of the important properties of the AT cut is that the resonant frequency of the crystal is temperature independent to first order. This is desirable in both mass sensing and ... Read More
This application illustrates how to model an electric machine, such as a generator, motor, or drive, by exploiting its sector symmetry to reduce the size of the problem. The machine being studied is a simplified electric generator in 3D, based on the geometry used in the generator_2d ... Read More
The use of wave-based techniques for room acoustic simulations has spread in the last years due to the increase in computational performance as well as the development of new numerical methods. The challenge of including realistic impedance conditions at walls is traditionally solved in ... Read More
