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.
Diffusion-induced stress in lithium-ion battery electrode materials can occur as a result of compositional inhomogeneities during lithium intercalation in the host material particles. These stresses are important since the electrode host material can undergo significant volume changes ... Read More
In this benchmark example, a semi-elliptical crack at the inner surface of a cylinder is studied. The inside of the cylinder and the crack faces are subjected to a pressure load. The J-integral is calculated along the crack front, and the stress intensity factor is then compared with the ... Read More
This simple model demonstrates how to use the Semiconductor Optoelectronics interfaces to model a simple GaAs PIN diode structure. Both the stimulated and spontaneous emission in the semiconductor are accounted for. The corresponding absorption of the light and the associated change in ... Read More
In this example, the External Stress feature in the Solid Mechanics interface is used to provide the material model with the nonsymmetric stress required in the design of an elastic invisibility cloak. The cloak is a domain with special material properties aimed at shielding a region of ... Read More
For a description of this model, see our accompanying blog post "Can COMSOL Multiphysics® Solve the Hydrogen Atom?". Read More
This is a demonstration of how to use the thermodynamics functionality in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to make flash calculations. A flash calculation is an equilibrium calculation of a system where several species and phases are present at the same time. The system in ... Read More
This is a model of a moving-coil loudspeaker where a lumped parameter analogy represents the behavior of the electrical and mechanical speaker components. The Thiele-Small parameters (small-signal parameters) serve as input to the lumped model, which is represented by an Electric Circuit ... Read More
This example shows how to perform parameter optimization on a lens system. The optimization is motivated by the replacement of one of the glasses in a prior optical prescription with a new glass having slightly different optical dispersion coefficients. The control parameters are the ... Read More
This setup demonstrates how the characteristics of turbulent flow in a channel are modified by the presence of an adjacent porous region. Asymmetric velocity profiles, higher turbulence levels, and higher friction coefficients both at the solid wall and the fluid-porous interface are ... Read More
For an electrochemical reaction to occur, the reacting species usually needs to adsorb to the electrode surface before undergoing reduction or oxidation, after which the resulting product species desorbs back into the electrolyte. If the rate of adsorption or desorption is slow in ... Read More
