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
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
This example demonstrates an app that utilizes the LiveLink™ interface for PTC Creo Parametric™ to run simulations on CAD designs. 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
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
The model shows how to estimate the Young's modulus and Poisson ratio based on a tensile test. The test measures the tensile force and the radial displacement. Typical numerical values of these quantities differ with around 10 orders of magnitude. Using a maximum likelihood strategy ... Read More
This example shows how to model Lithium diffusion in a silicon electrode that swells. The model shows how swelling-induced plastic deformation can increase the maximum state of charge (SOC). 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
Bearing clearances should be kept minimum to avoid non-synchronous vibration of a rotor. However, a tight clearance reduces the durability of the bearing. This example illustrates modeling of the vibration induced by nonlinear contact for different radial clearances. It is shown that ... Read More
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
