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 incompressible boundary layer on a flat plate in the absence of a pressure gradient is usually referred to as the Blasius boundary layer. The steady, laminar boundary layer developing downstream of the leading edge eventually becomes unstable to Tollmien-Schlichting waves and finally ... Read More
Transport through porous structures is usually treated using simplified homogeneous models with effective transport properties. This is in most cases a necessity, since the typical dimensions of the pores and particles making up the porous structure are several orders of magnitude ... Read More
Follow this tutorial series to learn about how to work with imported surface meshes. The instructions detail how to import STL files of three vertebrae and two intervertebral discs as well as how to repair holes, misaligned mesh vertices, and intersecting elements. It further ... Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Geometry parts and parametric geometries Dark theme Use of subwindows Material appearance visualization with environment reflections Report generation for both Microsoft® Word and Microsoft® PowerPoint Options for setting different mesh sizes ... Read More
Joints between two components of a mechanical system are sometimes not perfectly fitting. For the ease of assembly and to allow relative movement between the components, a small gap called clearance is provided between the joining components. The presence of clearance on joints can ... Read More
The Marangoni effect results in a slip velocity in the tangential direction on a fluid/fluid interface due to gradients in the surface tension coefficient. When the surface tension coefficient is constant, a two-fluid system may exist in static equilibrium. This is because the surface ... Read More
This example models a solid oxide electrolyzer cell wherein water vapor is reduced to form hydrogen gas on the cathode, and oxygen gas is evolved on the anode. The current distribution in the cell is coupled to the cathode mass transfer of hydrogen and water and momentum transport. Two ... Read More
A journal bearing is composed of an outer cylinder (bearing) wrapped around an inner rotating journal (shaft), with a lubricant separating the two. Under certain operating conditions, cavitation can occur between the bearing and the journal, leading to component damage and failure. ... Read More
This model demonstrates the use of the Two-Phase Thin-Film Flow, Phase Field multiphysics coupling, which can be used to predict the evolution of an interface between two different, immiscible fluids in thin, narrow channels. The example here presents a free boundary lubrication ... Read More
Fluids that move through pore spaces in an aquifer or reservoir can shield the porous medium from stress because they bear part of the load from, for instance, overlying rocks, sediments, fluids, and buildings. Withdrawing fluids from the pore space increases the stress the solids bear, ... Read More
