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 shows how to model carbonation, which is a type of sparging. Sparging is a mass transfer process between a gas and a liquid that is common in industry (such as beverage carbonation and photobioreactor applications) and at home (aquarium aeration). In the carbonation model, ... 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 demonstrates how to couple the Radiative Beam in Absorbing Media interface to the Radiation in Absorbing-Scattering Media interface. To learn more about this model, see our accompanying blog post “Modeling Absorption and Scattering of Collimated Light”. Read More
This tutorial shows how to set up a multi-element objective lens. The chosen lens is a Petzval lens with field flattener described in 'Fundamental Optical Design', by M. Kidger, 2001, pg 192. The tutorial demonstrates how to include a geometric sequence using the 'Spherical General Lens ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to set up a multi-element objective lens. The chosen lens is the Double Gauss described in 'Modern Lens Design (2nd edition)', by W. Smith, 2005, pg 323. The tutorial demonstrates how to create a geometry sequence using the 'Spherical Lens 3D' part found in the ... Read More
Electrode balancing is an important factor in the design of lithium-ion batteries. In this model, use the experimental open-circuit voltage of a cell and some basic assumptions, followed by an optimization solver, to find a proper electrode balancing. Get more details in this ... Read More
This example performs a topological optimization for a Tesla microvalve for an oscillating pressure drop. A Tesla microvalve inhibits backward flow using friction forces rather than moving parts, and therefore the objective is to maximize the average flow rate. The design can be ... Read More
Modeling curing is important in a wide variety of applications such as for devices utilizing polymer materials, rubber materials, plastics, and concrete. Curing is usually an exothermic reaction. In the current example, curing of butyl rubber is studied in a 3D mold for an automotive ... Read More
The purpose of this app is to understand EIS, Nyquist, and Bode plots. The app lets you vary the bulk concentration, diffusion coefficient, exchange current density, double layer capacitance, and the maximum and minimum frequency. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a common ... Read More
When a temperature gradient in a gas exists, suspended particles will tend to move from regions of high temperature to low. The force which produces this effect is called the thermophoretic force. Gas molecules colliding with a particle from the hot side have a higher velocity than the ... Read More
