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.
This is a 2D model of an anisotropic porous absorbing material. The absorption coefficient alpha are determined as functions of frequency for three different incidence angles. The example uses Periodic Floquet boundary conditions. The model uses two different methods for modeling the ... Read More
This model shows how to model a simple Metal–Insulator–Metal (MIM) diode. The two metal electrodes are defined on each side using the Metal Contact feature. Two studies were performed: one without quantum tunneling across the potential barrier and the other including it, using the WKB ... Read More
A thin-walled container made of rolled steel is subjected to an internal overpressure. As an effect of the manufacturing method, the out-of- plane direction has a higher yield stress than the other two directions. Hill’s orthotropic plasticity is used to model the difference in yield ... Read More
This example is a variant of the Composite Thermal Barrier tutorial and shows how to set up multiple sandwiched thin layers with different thermal conductivities in two different ways. First, the composite is modeled as a 3D object. In the second approach the Lumped Thermal System ... Read More
This example demonstrates how to use a background field in a sound scattering problem. The application is an acoustic invisibility cloak made of a metamaterial. Two different types of metamaterials are used, one using an anisotropic acoustic material with varying properties and one using ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to use the Surface-to-Surface Radiation interface to simulate radiative heat transfer with radiation between diffuse emitters and diffuse-and-specular reflectors. This model is separated in two parts. The first part focuses on a validation test for the radiative ... Read More
In a polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyzer cell (PEMEC), the two electrode compartments are separated by a polymer membrane. Liquid water is fed to the anode side, forming oxygen gas on the anode, and hydrogen gas on the cathode side, respectively. The respective designs of the ... Read More
This example demonstrates how to use the Uncertainty Quantification Module by running a series of uncertainty quantification studies for a steel bracket. This type of bracket can be used to install an actuator that is mounted on a pin placed between the two holes in the bracket arms. ... Read More
In this example, a rotor supported on two hydrodynamic bearings is analyzed. An eccentric disk located between the two bearings causes the rotor to whirl. One of the bearings is misaligned with the axis of the rotor. The Beam Rotor with Hydrodynamic Bearing interface in the ... Read More
This model is a benchmark model for the Slip Flow interface. It is based on both analytic and numeric calculations. Air at atmospheric pressure flows through a conducting micro-channel connecting two reservoirs maintained at different temperatures. A flow between the two reservoirs ... Read More
