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.
For transient acoustic problems, there are different sound pressure level metrics that have been defined in the literature and in measurement standards. These metrics are important to know when comparing results from a transient acoustic simulation to measurements from a sound level ... Read More
An acoustic point source emits a pressure wave in water that travels toward a piece of glass. Cracks are formed and propagate due to high tensile stresses developed in the glass. A fully coupled acoustic-structure interaction problem including phase field damage in solids is solved in ... Read More
Electromagnetic scattering simulation for an object with continuous rotational symmetry can be performed in 2D axisymmetry instead of 3D to drastically reduce computational time and resources. This model shows how to simulate arbitrary plane wave incidence in 2D axisymmetric models by ... Read More
Light collimation or focusing is a basic task often needed when working with lasers in the lab where singlets are used due to their simplicity. If a plano-convex lens is used for the task, there is a correct lens orientation that minimizes aberrations. A useful rule-of-thumb is to ... Read More
This model analyzed the ALD deposition process of alumina film on the surface of a U-shaped structure. In this process, gaseous precursors are sequentially introduced to the reaction chamber and sequentially undergo a series of adsorption and chemical reactions on the surface. The ... Read More
A detailed description of these models can be found in our blog post “How Should I Evaluate Singular Stress Fields?”. The models are: notchedStrip.mph – Model for the initial studies of the stress field properties. singularityPower.mph – Small model solving the transcendental equation ... 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
A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is a periodic structure formed from alternating dielectric layers that can be used to achieve nearly total reflection within a range of frequencies. The main advantage of DBRs over ordinary metallic mirrors is that DBRs can be engineered to have custom ... Read More
Topology optimization can result in novel designs due the extreme design freedom associated with the method. Conventional manufacturing techniques impose constraints on the geometry which are often violated by topology optimization. This model demonstrates how the milling constraint ... Read More
The Dzhanibekov effect, also called the intermediate axis theorem or tennis racket theorem, describes the behavior of a rigid body with three distinct principal moments of inertia. This simulation app can be used to test the Dzhanibekov effect in three different geometries, including a ... Read More
