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 electrodes of a lithium-ion battery are porous and consist of an active solid electrode material, a binder, and pores filled with a liquid electrolyte. Expansion of the active material due to lithium intercalation changes the volume fraction of electrolyte-filled pores in the ... Read More
Induction heating is used for various metallurgical processes such as hardening. Here the 3D induction heating of a mechanical joint passing through an induction heating coil is simulated. Curie point effects and temperature dependent resistivity in the iron are taken into account. To ... Read More

The demonstration also includes the ... Read More
The purpose of this model is to visualize the electric potential in an electrochemical cell, for example a battery. This is done at OCV and during operation. In a battery, this would correspond to OCV, discharge, and recharge. The potential profile is explained both for cells with planar ... Read More
In this example, a random vibration test of electronic equipment is simulated. Three analyses are performed, one for acceleration in each global direction. Accelerations in the components and forces in clamping bolts are evaluated. Read More
This simple benchmark model computes the potential and carrier concentrations for a one-dimensional p-n junction using both the finite element and finite volume methods. The results are compared with an equivalent device from the book, "Semiconductor Devices: A Simulation Approach," by ... Read More
This full-scale, time-dependent model of an offshore oil platform jacket involves modeling coating breakdown and estimating sacrificial anode life and the buildup of calcareous deposits on steel surfaces. The tutorial model aims to answer some of the common questions surrounding ... Read More
How the open-circuit voltage (OCV) of a lithium-ion battery varies with the state of charge is governed by various physical properties such as the thermodynamics of the electrode reactions, the relative capacities of the electrode materials, and the amount of cyclable lithium, but also ...
