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 example simulates an oil droplet rising through a suspension. The suspension is initially stratified, with a dense layer between two clear layers. The droplet is initially located in the bottom clear layer. The particles in the suspension start to sediment toward the bottom of the ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to model transport of the individual ions in a salt melt comprising two binary salts, where the transport equations are defined using concentrated solution theory. The example model defines a molten carbonate fuel cell (or electrolyzer), with a 1D-model geometry ... Read More
Emulsions consist of small liquid droplets immersed in an immiscible liquid and widely occur in the production of food, cosmetics, fine chemicals, and pharmaceutical products. The quality of the product is typically dependent on the size of the droplets. Simulating these processes can ... Read More
In this example, the brittle fracture of a holed plate with a notch is modeled using a phase-field damage model. The geometry of the plate is set up so that a mixed-mode fracture is induced, with dimensions and material properties taken from experimental data. The example shows how to ... Read More
This example shows how to make a simple model for a binary distillation process. A thermodynamics property package, available in the Chemical Reaction Engineering Module, is created to study the separation of a nonideal mixture of ethanol and water. The required equilibrium relationship ... Read More
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a common method of separating, identifying, and quantifying each chemical compound in a mixture. HPLC is found in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and food industries. The Liquid Chromatography app simulates the separation of two species ... Read More
This is an example of a model of an induction motor in which eddy currents are induced in the rotor by time-harmonic currents in the stator windings and the rotor's rotation. Induced currents in the rotor interact with the magnetic field that is produced by the coils to generate the ... Read More
This app demonstrates the following: How an app can be used as a teaching tool An 8 question multiple choice quiz where the answers can be sent to the grader by email This app calculates the equilibrium compositions in gas phase conversion of ethylene to ethanol. It allows you to ... Read More
A Butler matrix is a passive beamforming feed network. It is a cost-effective feed network for phased array antennas because the circuit can be fabricated in the form of microstrip lines and is a viable solution for performing beam scanning without deploying expensive active devices. ... Read More
A fuel cell unit cell is modeled using the full Butler-Volmer expression for the anodic and cathodic charge transfer reactions. The anodic and cathodic overpotentials depend on the local ionic and electronic potentials, which are obtained from the charge balance equations for ionic and ... Read More
