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.
In this 2D tutorial, a test sample consists on one side of an isotropic material and on the other side of a heterogeneous anisotropic material (a transverse anisotropic zinc crystal). Elastic waves in the sample are excited by a point-like force. The model is solved with the Elastic ... Read More
Buckling is a structural instability that can lead to failure of a component even without initial material failure. Computation of the critical buckling loads and mode shapes can therefore be important from a design viewpoint, even though it has previously been determined that the ... Read More
Heat pipes are designed to transfer heat efficiently through vaporization, mass transfer, and condensation of a working fluid. They are found in a wide variety of applications where thermal control is of importance, with cooling of electronics being a prominent example. Inside a heat ... Read More
During manufacturing or in-service use, the geometric shape of structural components can deviate from their intended design. For example, a hole may lose its perfectly circular form, making it important to measure and control this deviation. The process of quantifying such deviations is ... Read More
This example models the radiation of fan noise from the annular duct of a turbofan aeroengine. When the jet stream exits the duct, a vortex sheet appears along the extension of the duct wall due to the surrounding air moving at a lower speed. The near field on both sides of the vortex ... Read More
The model estimates the AC breakdown voltage between parallel electrodes in air by simulating charge transport dynamics. To keep computations efficient, it is implemented in one dimension, though it can be adapted for different gases and extended to higher-dimensional setups. The ... Read More
This example shows how to use the Optimization Module to find a coil geometry giving a uniform magnetic field on axis and minimal field near the axis ends. Read More
Seawater intrusion is a critical issue in coastal regions, where it endangers both freshwater supplies and the overall quality of groundwater. This example showcases seawater intrusion in a coastal aquifer where a pumping well is located at some distance from the shoreline. The model ... Read More
Some positive electrode materials are known to deteriorate in overcharged lithium-ion battery cells. Predominantly, manganese containing electrode materials such as LMO and NMC can loose capacity due to manganese dissolving from the materials at overcharge. This decomposition is a ... Read More
Gyroscopes are used for measuring the orientation or maintaining the stability of airplanes, spacecraft, and submarines vehicles in general. They are also used as sensors in inertial guidance systems. This model demonstrates the modeling of a mechanical gyroscope. It analyzes the ... Read More
