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
HowTo: Using the EC External I-Terminal The External Couplings in the CIR interface has two flavors that can be used. External I vs. U and External I-terminal. The former has two nodes (it represents a differential external voltage measurement) and when coupling to an EC Terminal ... Read More
Plasma discharges containing chlorine are commonly used to etch semiconductors and metals in microelectronics fabrication. This tutorial model studies chlorine plasma discharges using a global (volume-averaged) diffusion model. Global diffusion models can run simulations in a fraction ... Read More
Breaker and disconnector devices are widely used in AC substations in power systems.In this model, the Electrostatics Interface is used to simulate the electric potential and electric field in a 110kV 3-phase high-voltage switchgear operating at 50 Hz. A surrogate model is also trained ... Read More
Galvanic corrosion between two different phases (alpha and beta phases) in a metallic (magnesium) alloy is simulated for a representative cross-sectional microstructure configuration. A key feature in the model formulation is the implementation of both anodic and cathodic regions at ... Read More
Tubular reactors are often used in continuous large-scale production, for example in the petroleum industry. One key design parameter is the conversion, or the amount of reactant that reacts to form the desired product. In order to achieve high conversion, process engineers optimize the ... Read More
In this model, a modal analysis is performed while parametrically sweeping the length of a waveguide from 0.5 um to 4 um to derive the dispersion curve for the anisotropic core. Both transverse and longitudinal anisotropy are considered in two different models. These models are ... Read More
This is a tutorial model of the coupling between flow of a fluid in an open channel and a porous block attached to one of the channel walls. The flow is described by the Navier-Stokes equation in the free region and a Forchheimer-corrected version of the Brinkman equations in the porous ... Read More
This example studies the deflection of a cantilever beam undergoing very large deflections. The beam is modeled using both the Solid Mechanics interface and the Beam interface. The results are compared with each other and with a benchmark solution from NAFEMS. In addition, a linear ... Read More
This model deals with the stability of a plate with an edge crack that is subjected to a tensile load. To analyze the stability of existing cracks, fracture mechanics theory can be utilized. A commonly used parameter in fracture mechanics, used to predict if a specific crack will cause ... Read More
