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.
An aperture is often used in electroplating baths in order to improve the uniformity of the deposited metal layer. This example simulates electroplating of a printed circuit board (PCB) in 3D using a secondary current distribution. The size and aspect ratio of the aperture is optimized ... Read More
The purpose of this model is to visualize the electric potential in an electrochemical cell, for example a battery. This is done at OCV and during operation. In a battery, this would correspond to OCV, discharge, and recharge. The potential profile is explained both for cells with planar ... Read More
This example shows how to model Lithium diffusion in a silicon electrode that swells. The model shows how swelling-induced plastic deformation can increase the maximum state of charge (SOC). Read More
This model file was used for creating the plots featured in the blog post "How to Model Ion-Exchange Membranes and Donnan Potentials". Read More
A bipolar membrane consists of one anion-selective, and one cation-selective membrane, in contact with each other. The combined cation and anion selectivity makes the bipolar membrane highly impermeable to all ions, with the exception of H+ and OH- which are formed by water splitting ... 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 ...

The installation verification application can be used to help verify that your COMSOL Multiphysics® or COMSOL Server™ installation works as expected on your hardware platforms and operating systems. The app automatically loads and runs a suite of test models and compares the results with ... Read More
Crystallization is an important separation process in the chemical industry. It is used for the production of pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals. It can also be used in resource recovery as a way of separating valuable materials from waste. This model solves a discretized ... Read More
A magnetic brake consists of a permanent magnet, which induces currents in a rotating copper disk. The resulting eddy currents interact with the magnetic flux to produce Lorentz forces and subsequently a braking torque. The disk angular velocity is computed using Simulink®. Read More
This model illustrates the effect of oxygen and hydrogen formation and recombination on the performance and self-discharge of an electrochemical capacitor with a water-based electrolyte. A load cycle consisting of mixed constant current pulses and rest periods at an open circuit is ... Read More
