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.
In this model, an axial field magnetic gear with a gear ratio of 5:2 is modeled. Both the high-speed and low-speed rotors consist of permanent magnets and back iron. The low-speed rotor consists of five pole pairs, while the high-speed rotor consists of two pole pairs and the stationary ... Read More
This model demonstrates the caustic effect produced by a cylindrical mirror. It highlights the advantages of the forward ray shooting method when modeling specular reflections from an external radiation source with the Surface-to-Surface Radiation interface. Read More
This example exemplifies how curve fitting can be performed in COMSOL Multiphysics®, and how this can be applied to your modeling. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Curve Fitting of Experimental Data with COMSOL ... Read More
This model computes the specific acoustic radiation impedance of a very small circular vent in a flanged configuration. The model includes thermoviscous losses. The radiation impedance is fitted using a simple RL circuit which gives a simple lumped representation. The results are used ... Read More
You can use the Moving Mesh or the Deformed Geometry interface to implement wrapping of a CAD part around one axis. This model demonstrates both how to implement this wrapping, as well as how to subsequently mesh the surrounding volume around the deformed part. A more detailed ... Read More
This tutorial uses an equivalent circuit approach for modeling the performance of a lithium-ion battery, requiring no knowledge about the internal chemistry or structure of the battery. A 0D equivalent circuit battery model is defined based on a resistor connected in series with a ... Read More
In this model of a single-beam optical trap, SiO2 nanospheres in streaming water pass by or get captured depending on where they are released from. The electromagnetic force on the particles is calculated in the Electromagnetic Waves, Frequency Domain interface, with a Gaussian ... Read More
Rayleigh-Bénard's convection cells is a classic in fluid dynamics. We present here two different approaches for computing the critical Rayleigh number above which the cells form. Read More
Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) describes a nonlinear interaction between light and sound. In optical fibers, SBS can be detrimental for power or communication purposes, but can be leveraged for sensing applications. The SBS gain spectrum quantifies the optic-acoustic mode ... Read More
The "Smart Radiator Device," a multilayer structure, has the capability to control thermal emissivity at different temperatures. This multilayer structure is lightweight thus finds its application in spacecraft mission. The thermochromic vanadium oxide (VO2) material is the heart of ... Read More
