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.
When radiation occurs across a very narrow gap this is often well-approximated as radiation between infinite parallel plates. This model considers three aluminum plates separated by narrow air gaps. The model compares the classical approach, based on the Surface-to-Surface Radiation ... Read More
In applications where pressure waves and elastic waves propagate in porous materials filled with air both thermal and viscous losses are important. This is typically the case in insulation materials for room acoustics or lining materials in car cabins. Another example is porous materials ... 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
Various boundary conditions are employed in the computation of homogenized properties for heterogeneous materials. The choice between periodic or homogeneous boundary conditions depends on whether the infinitesimal volume is modeled as a repeating unit cell (RUC) or a representative ... Read More
This slide deck introduces and demonstrates the modeling capabilities for crystallization and precipitation processes in COMSOL using the Size-Based Population Balance interface and Precipitation in Fluid Flow coupling feature released in 6.3. Read More
In this tutorial model, an eigenvalue analysis of a turbocharger rotor is performed. The rotor is analyzed in an unconstrained configuration, also commonly known as free–free conditions. A rotor like this is usually intended for high-speed applications, but here the analysis is performed ... Read More
A plane electromagnetic wave is incident on a metallic sphere partially embedded on a substrate. In this electromagnetic scattering problem, the far-field variables are computed for a few elevation angles of incidence. Read More
This model demonstrates an efficient approach to simulating a thin, spherical, large radome using a 2D axisymmetric formulation with cubic discretization. The axisymmetric method captures full 3D behavior for azimuthally symmetric geometries at only a fraction of the computational cost. ... Read More
This is a simple 1D model demonstrating ultrafast heat transfer simulations for femtosecond pulsed laser heating. Specifically, the following three models are implemented and compared with conventional Fourier heat conduction (known as parabolic one-step, POS): Hyperbolic one-step ... Read More
This tutorial model solves for an inductively coupled plasma reactor in a mixture of CF4/O2. The plasma transport, magnetic fields, fluid flow, and heat transfer are solved for fully self-consistently. The oxygen mole fraction of the reactor feed is parameterized. Read More
