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.
The problem of a plane wave scattering off a cylinder-shaped object suggests the use of the 2D axisymmetric formulation. This can save computation time and reduce the memory usage compared to the model in 3D space. This example demonstrates the use of the built-in plane wave expansion ... Read More
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
In microfluidic devices, it is a challenge to mix different fluids. One method is to use acoustic streaming to create a flow which enhances the mixing of two fluids. In this model, the vibrations of PDMS structures in a channel induces fast acoustic streaming used for mixing a diluted ... Read More
Grain compaction is the process by which granular material is placed in a container and compressed with an external pressure. It can be used to increase the packing density and alter the mechanical and thermal properties of the resultant samples, and it is thus a crucial step in many ... Read More
The purpose of this model is to visualize the electric potential in an electrochemical cell, for example a battery. This is done at OCV and during operation. In a battery, this would correspond to OCV, discharge, and recharge. The potential profile is explained both for cells with planar ... Read More
Electrical cables, also called transmission lines, are used everywhere in the modern world to transmit both power and data. These cables carry electromagnetic energy, but instead of dealing with the full complexity of the electromagnetic fields, they are more commonly classified ... Read More
A smoke exhaust duct in a building is analyzed. Radiation of a non-gray gas is accounted for with a Radiation in Participating Media interface and the Weighted Sum of Gray Gases Model (WSGG). The smoke exhaust duct consists of 25 mm plaster walls. Building codes require that the walls ... Read More
This model demonstrates three different ways to find the eigenfrequencies of a rectangular metallic cavity. The first method uses an eigenfrequency study step together with the Electromagnetic Waves, Beam Envelopes interface. Here, it is important to define a wave vector for the physics ... Read More
This example computes the power losses in a lithium-ion battery when exposed to high current pulses in a hybrid pulse power characterization (HPPC) test. Power loss contributions stemming from different phenomena are analyzed, as well as the total power losses pertaining to the ... Read More
This document explains how to install and run COMSOL Multiphysics® and COMSOL Server™ with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud™ (EC2™). This requires that you have first acquired a Floating Network License (FNL) or COMSOL Server License (CSL) from COMSOL. The license manager ... Read More
