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.
Frequency-selective surfaces (FSS) are periodic structures with a bandpass or a bandstop frequency response. This model shows that only signals around the center frequency can pass through the periodic complementary split ring resonator layer. Read More
This model demonstrates how to compute the volumetric fluence rate in an ultraviolet (UV) reactor. The geometry is the annular fluid region surrounding a cylindrical lamp. The effect of reflection at the reactor walls on the radial fluence rate distribution is considered. Read More
This benchmark model simulates three different heterojunction configurations under forward and reverse bias. It shows the difference in using the continuous quasi-Fermi level formulation versus the thermionic emission formulation for the charge transfer across the heterojunction. The ... Read More
This example demonstrates how to optimize the thickness of a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) mirror coating material for maximum reflectivity. To reduce the simulation time, a Layered Impedance Boundary Condition is used to model the thin coating material on top of the metallic ... Read More
An eigenfrequency study is used to find the resonance frequency and threshold gain for an oxide-confined, GaAs-based, vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). The simulations are performed in two steps. A regular eigenfrequency analysis is first performed, to find good initial ... Read More
Échelle spectrographs are commonly used in astronomy for high-resolution analyses of stellar atmospheres and for precision Doppler velocimetry. This tutorial simulates a "white pupil" form of this instrument. It makes use of several parts from the COMSOL Part Library and demonstrates the ... Read More
This application presents an example of pressure driven flow and electrophoresis in a 3D micro channel system. Researchers often use a device similar to the one in this model as an electrokinetic sample injector in biochips to obtain well-defined sample volumes of dissociated acids and ... Read More
Focusing a laser beam onto the tip of a single mode fiber is a common way to couple light. To achieve good coupling efficiency, the spatial mode of the light field has to match the spatial mode of the fiber. In this model, we use the beam envelope method to compute a small free-space ... Read More
A mode analysis study is used to find the complex effective indices for a microstructured optical fiber (MOF), consisting of air holes in a silica host. As the effective index is smaller than the refractive index of the silica background material, the modes are leaky. The model ... Read More
This example demonstrates how to import a bitmap which can be used to simulate an image using ray tracing. The example is based on the Double Gauss Lens tutorial from the Ray Optics Module Application Library. The first study has been modified so that the Spot Diagram "auto-focus" tool ... Read More
