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.
Unwanted electrical arcing poses significant risks to the reliability and safety of electrical and electronic systems. To enhance predictive capabilities and deepen understanding of arc behavior, we present a comprehensive numerical model for simulating transient arc discharge phenomena ... Read More
The first part of the application computes the modes for a straight step index fiber made of silica glass. In the second part, a step index fiber bend with a 3 mm radius of curvature is analyzed with respect to propagating modes and radiation loss. It is shown how to find the power ... Read More
When analyzing rotors, it is common that bearings are modeled through their effective dynamic coefficients about a static equilibrium position. This model illustrates how to compute such coefficients for a cylindrical journal bearing. The bearing length is kept much smaller than its ... Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Designing an app for small screens such as smartphones User-interface navigation with a top menu typically used on websites Geometry parts and parameterized geometries Visualizing periodicity of a geometry with material rendering Warning messages on ...

This example describes how to simulate the self-lubricating phenomenon of a liquid lubricant in a journal bearing. A porous bushing is press-fitted to a bearing and saturated with a lubricant. It acts as a reservoir for the redistribution of the thin film of lubricant between regions of ... Read More
This example demonstrates how to import and repair a surface mesh from an STL file, and to create a mesh to simulate nasal spray application inside the human upper airways. It further demonstrates how to combine the repaired mesh with the geometry of a nasal spray, then to remesh and ... Read More
This model shows how to model the avalanche breakdown due to the impact ionization in a Silicon Carbide diode. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the device are presented as well as the electric field distribution plot. Furthermore, the carrier generation term has been computed ... Read More
This model simulates an LED that emits in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The device structure is made up of a single p-n junction formed by a layer of p-type doping near the top surface of an otherwise n-type wafer. This kind of device geometry is simple and cheap to ...

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
In this tutorial model, the flow in a pipe with a bend is computed using the Pipe Flow interface. The computed fluid load is used as input to a stress analysis in the Pipe Mechanics interface. Gravity loads from the pipe and fluid are also taken into account. Read More
