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.
Ponds and lakes can serve as thermal reservoirs in geothermal heating applications. In this example, fluid circulates underwater through polyethylene piping in a closed system. The pipes are coiled in a slinky shape and grouped onto sleds. The Non-isothermal Pipe Flow interface sets up ... Read More
Aldicarb is a commercial pesticide, used on a variety of crops, including cotton, fruits, potatoes, and beans. This arises in the possibility that the general population may be exposed to aldicarb through the ingestion of contaminated water and foods. This example looks at the ... Read More
The inductor is a common component in a variety of electrical devices. Its applications include power transformation and measurements, and it can also be used together with capacitors to create oscillators. In small devices with many components, such as in laptops, heat generation can ... Read More
Shape optimization with respect to fatigue properties is not supported, but fatigue properties are well correlated with the maximum stress. The model demonstrates how optimization with respect to a p-norm of the von Mises stress can be used to improve fatigue properties without ... Read More
In this example, two model for brittle damage are used to evaluate the fracture of a notched concrete beam subjected to three point bending. The results are compared with experimental data. Read More
This model demonstrates the analysis of lightning surges on high voltage transmission line towers. Lightning carrying a current of 10 kA struck one of the tower's shielded wires. The induced voltage at the three-phase conductors are computed. Some highlights of this model: Perform ... Read More
This model demonstrates two approaches to model the acoustics in a generic nacelle with an acoustic liner and a background flow. The first method uses the Compressible Potential Flow and the* Linearized Potential Flow, Frequency Domain* interfaces, while the second, more detailed ... Read More
This model presents two examples of topology optimization of the magnetic circuit of a loudspeaker driver. A first optimization is used to find the design of a nonlinear iron pole piece and top plate that maximize the BL factor at the resting position (small displacements), while ... Read More
The bidirectional formulation of the Beam Envelopes interface can be used not only for counter-propagating wave simulations but also for waves propagating to up to two directions. In this model, an almost collimated Gaussian beam is excited at the left boundary and exhibits total ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to simulate a metasurface beam deflector that uses anomalous refraction. The structure itself is a repeated array of six posts (so-called meta elements). The periodicity of the individual posts is 500 nm, so the full structure of six posts is 3 um wide. The ... Read More
