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 2D axisymmetric model demonstrates the operation of a pyroelectric detector found in instruments for measuring laser energy. A disk of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) is sandwiched between two electrodes and connected to an external circuit. The disk is mounted on a ring-shaped ... Read More
The engine block of a car includes a cooling jacket to remove excess heat from combustion. The cooling jacket consists of open spaces in the cylinder block and the cylinder head. When the engine is running, a coolant fluid is pumped through the jacket to keep the engine from overheating. ... Read More
A Czerny-Turner monochromator spatially separates polychromatic light into a series of monochromatic rays. This model simulates a crossed Czerny-Turner configuration that consists of a spherical collimating mirror, a planar diffraction grating, a spherical imaging mirror, and an array ... Read More
This simple example covers the heating of a finite slab and how the temperature varies with time. We will set up the problem in COMSOL Multiphysics after which we compare the solution to the analytical solution. Read More
This example shows an approximate approach to model a dot-in-well solar cell as described by Asahi et al. in the reference paper. The quantum wells and the layers of quantum dots are each treated as lumped energy levels in the band gap. The authors specify transitions between the dot ... Read More
The dispersion curves for a fluid-filled pipe with elastic walls are computed and compared with the analytical results for a pure elastic and an acoustic waveguide, respectively. Results show good agreement and also provide insight into the dynamics of the fluid-filled pipe at low and ... Read More
Impedance tubes are used for estimating the surface impedance of various samples, for example, a layer of porous material used for sound insulation. This model shows how the five material parameters of the Johnson-Champoux-Allard model can be estimated from the pressure at two ... Read More
The Thermal Actuator Surrogate Model application demonstrates how to accelerate computation for multiphysics analysis using a surrogate model. A surrogate model is a simpler, usually computationally cheaper model, which is used to approximate the behavior of a more complex, and often ... Read More
A helical antenna has two major modes. One is normal mode and the other is axial mode. When the helical antenna is operating at the normal mode, its far-field radiation pattern is similar to the torus shaped pattern of a classic dipole antenna. At the axial mode, the helical antenna is ... Read More
When anodizing aluminum, the surface is electrochemically altered to form an abrasive and corrosion-resistive Al2O3 film. The electrode kinetics during the process are only marginally affected as the oxide layer grows, so a stationary analysis of the current distribution is sufficient to ... Read More
