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.
Thermally induced transformations in solids may be modeled by using an Arrhenius law to express the dependence on temperature of the transformation rate. This tutorial model shows how to use the Irreversible Transformation subfeature, available under the Solid feature of the Heat ... Read More
This example shows how to model the behavior of a thermostat where a delay in its reaction has been implemented. A more detailed description of the phenomenon, and the modeling process, can be seen in the blog post "How to Implement a Delay in Your Thermostat Simulation". Read More
This model simulates a beam of light being split into components of different frequencies when passing through a medium where the refractive index depends on frequency. COMSOL-wise, the model showcases two important technical aspects: A user-defined implementation of the frequency ... Read More
This example demonstrate the modeling of a plug flow reactor for the synthesis of ammonia in the Haber-Bosch process. The catalytic reactor in this process operates under non-isothermal conditions, where temperature and pressure varies substantially along the length of the reactor, in ... Read More
An interesting question was raised in the 1950s by the mathematician Ernst Straus that, in an arbitrarily shaped empty room with side walls made of perfect mirrors, will a point light source always illuminate the whole room? This question was answered by the Nobel Prize-winning ... Read More
This example exemplifies how you can export the data from your mesh and results to a text file. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Exporting Meshes and Solutions Using the Application Builder". Read More
This model demonstrates how to solve delay differential equations in the context of modeling a population dynamics problem. To learn more about this model, see our accompanying blog post “Solving Delay Differential Equations to Model…Marmots? ”. Read More
This tutorial shows how to model an arbitrary surface acoustic wave (SAW) delay line. The design parameters are arbitrary in the sense that the outputs are far from optimal from a practical standpoint. The aim is to show how a SAW device can be set up in the software: how to define the ... Read More
A small building block of integrated photonics, i.e., a Silicon-on-Insulator taper, is considered. For a larger system design, it might be useful to determine the phase delay such a device introduces. Here, we showcase the layout needed to do it in COMSOL, including a proper Port ... Read More
This example of a simulation application shows how to add a user-defined license agreement, which you can use to protect applications that you publish and distribute. Read More
