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.
Interfacial failure by delamination or debonding can be simulated with a Cohesive Zone Model (CZM). This example shows the implementation of a CZM with a bilinear traction-separation law. It is used to predict the mixed-mode softening onset and delamination propagation in a composite ... Read More
This example describes how to simulate the flow of a thin film of fluid in the gap between two rectangular plates, one of them with a porous facing, when the fluid is squeezed as a consequence of the relative motion between the plates. The model accounts for the ingress and egress of ... Read More
This model shows how to use the scattered field formulation to compute the transmission coefficient for impinging P and S plane elastic waves onto a finite size phononic crystal. The transmission tends to zero in the frequency range corresponding to P- and S-wave band gaps, as ... Read More
An Einzel lens is an electrostatic device used for focusing charged particle beams. It may be found in cathode ray tubes, ion beam and electron beam experiments, and ion propulsion systems. This particular model consists of three axially aligned cylinders. The outer cylinders are ... Read More
Crimping is the plastic deformation process used to form an electrical joint between a stranded conductor and a terminal. The process involves complex multi-surface contact, including self-contact, as the terminal sleeve is plastically deformed around the wire strands. This example ... Read More
A classic benchmark problem in computational electromagnetics is to solve for the radar cross section (RCS) of a sphere in free space illuminated by a plane wave. This model solves for the RCS of a metallic sphere that has a very high conductivity, which can be treated as a material with ... Read More
This model uses the Wave Optics Module and the Ray Optics module to model the propagation of rays through a diffraction grating at different angles of incidence. It uses the S-parameters computed by the Electromagnetic Waves, Frequency Domain interface on a unit cell of the grating to ... Read More
It is often not possible to insert a normal microphone directly into the sound field being measured. The microphone may be too big to fit inside the measured system, such as for in-the-ear measurements for hearing aid fitting. The size of the microphone may also be too large compared to ...

This example uses the Shallow Water equations to model the impact of a water wave on a column. A body of water with a height of 0.3 meters is initially contained behind a gate. At the start of the simulation, the gate is suddenly released and the body of water forms a wave moving toward ... Read More
This example models the transient heating, and final temperature, of a disc brake of a car in brake-and-release sequence. It is important to model the transient heating and the following convective cooling to determine the minimum interval between a series of similar brake engagements. ... Read More
