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 conceptual example shows how to calculate critical points in models with contact. The model consists of two contacting arches modeled with the Shell interface. The contact problem is solved using the penalty method. The upper arch is loaded with displacement controlled edge loads ... Read More
MEMS scanning mirrors are a type of MEMS device that realizes optical path control by controlling mirror torsion through a microdriver. The torsion can be single axis or double axis. MEMS scanning mirrors are widely used in laser projection, laser radar, laser processing, and other ... Read More
Hydrogen embrittlement refers to the degradation of metal ductility due to the absorption of hydrogen. The metal becomes more brittle and thus cracks might initiate at lower stress levels. It is important to estimate hydrogen concentration and the speed at which it diffuses into the ... Read More
Liquid-solid mixtures (suspensions) are important in a variety of industrial fields, such as oil and gas refinement, paper manufacturing, food processing, slurry transport, and wastewater treatment. Several different modeling approaches have been developed by the CFD community, ranging ... Read More
Imagine that you are designing a light-weight mountain bike frame that should fit in a box of a certain size and should weigh no more than 8 kg. Given that you know the loads on the bike, you can achieve this by distributing the available material while making sure that the stiffness of ... Read More
This suite of examples illustrate the modeling of selective NO reduction, that occurs as flue gases pass through the channels of a monolithic reactor in the exhaust system of a motored vehicle. The simulations are aimed at finding the optimal dosing of NH3, the reactant that serves as ... Read More
In this model, two fluids are separated by a solid elastic structure. An acoustic pressure wave impacts the structure resulting in a reflected wave and a wave transmitted with a loss through the structure. This model investigates the transmission loss through the structure. The effects ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates a full electro-vibroacoustic analysis of a conceptual electrostatic speaker driver, composed of thin conducting plastic diaphragm residing between two perforated metal sheets called grids or stators. When an audio signal is applied to the grids (out of phase), ... Read More
A surface acoustic wave (SAW) is an acoustic wave propagating along the surface of a solid material. Its amplitude decays rapidly, often exponentially, through the depth of the material. SAWs are utilized in many kinds of electronic components, including filters, oscillators, and ... Read More
This app allows to calculate the absorption coefficient and surface impedance of a sound absorbers for normal and random incidences. The computed quantities can be used when setting up boundary conditions in a Pressure Acoustics, Frequency Domain model or a Ray Acoustics model. The ... Read More
