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.
This model shows how to simulate moisture redistribution inside a wall with capillary active interior insulation. The wall consists of three layers: brick, mortar and insulating material. At the beginning of simulation, there is a sudden change in vapor pressure and temperature at ... Read More
This example uses the Granular Flow interface to model the fixed funnel method for calculating the angle of repose, where a funnel is kept at a fixed height. The funnel is first filled with grains which are subsequently released and collected as a heap. The resultant heap is then ... Read More
This model shows three methods to focalise external irradiation with a convex glass lens made of either: Semitransparent Surface with no reflection. Refractive Interface following the Fresnel's relations. Dielectric Window absorbing ultraviolet and infrared radiations. Read More
This model is used on "Heat Transfer with Radiation in Participating Media and the Discrete Ordinates Method" to compare quadrature sets used in the method of discrete ordinates. To assess the performance of quadrature sets in complex geometries, results of incident irradiation and ... Read More
This model demonstrates two ways of modeling waveguides that support multiple modes. A PML can be used to absorb any modes, or Ports can be explicitly added for each possible mode. Learn more in this accompanying blog post: Modeling Waveguides that Support Multiple Modes Read More
A highly simplified pedestrian bridge is for simplicity imagined to consists of a concrete slab on supported by three I-beams. The design is to be evaluated for peak acceleration due to walking. The model analyzes uncertainty in peak acceleration due to some material damping properties ... Read More
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the most effective methods in molecular biology, medical diagnostics, and biochemical engineering in amplifying a specific sequence of DNA. There has been a great interest in developing portable PCR-based lab-on-a-chip systems for point-of-care ... Read More
The electrodes of a lithium-ion battery are porous, consisting of an active solid material, a binder, and pores filled with liquid electrolyte. If a force is applied on the porous layers of a battery, this will affect the volume fraction of the electrolyte-filled pores in the electrodes, ... Read More
Beam theories are well-developed for slender structures with homogeneous materials and isotropic cross-sections. The traditional beam theories do no apply to beams made of different materials in the cross-section. Therefore, a homogenization-based numerical model is needed to compute ... Read More
This model uses the Granular Flow and Membrane interfaces to simulate the packing of spherical grains in a flexible container, a procedure often found in the processing industry. In this example, grains are packed into a cubic container constructed of a thin polymer fabric. Two packing ... Read More
