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, the packing behavior of grains is simulated using three force models: Hertz-MD, Hertz-MD with adhesion, Hertz-MD with adhesion and van der Waals forces. The packing efficiency is calculated to quantify the extent of packing observed. 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
This model demonstrates how to tune the lowest natural frequency of the diaphragm of a MEMS microphone using Shape Optimization. The Stationary then Eigenfrequency study modifies the shape of the suspension springs that support the diaphragm. Although the model is in 3D, shape change is ... Read More
This model simulates the initiation of streamers from suspended metal particles, their propagation under a high electric field, and their subsequent merging. The discharge current flows into the metal particles, which are maintained at equal potential. These suspended particles enhance ... Read More
A waveguide filter is designed using shape optimization by moving and scaling rectangles in the geometry. The irises of the initial geometry are optimized to ensure good bandpass response and out-of-band rejection, while maintaining the double mirror symmetry. The EGO optimization solver ... 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
Pitting corrosion is localized corrosion by which local cavities, pits, are formed on a seemingly initially smooth metal surface. A pit may be initiated due to small surface defects, such as inhomogeneities in composition or shape, or from mechanical abuse. How and if the pit grows ... 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
This example exemplifies how to model the Beer-Lambert law using the core functionality of COMSOL Multiphysics. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Modeling Laser-Material Interactions with the Beer-Lambert Law". Read More
This example exemplifies how to model thermal phase change that is subject to hysteresis. A more detailed description of the phenomenon, and the modeling process, can be seen in the blog post "Thermal Modeling of Phase-Change Materials with Hysteresis" as well as: "How to Use State ... Read More
