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.
Electrodeposition of a Microconnector Bump with Deforming Geometry in 3D
This model simulates the shape evolution of a microconnector bump over time as copper deposits on an electrode surface. Transport of cupric ions in the electrolyte occurs by convection and diffusion. The electrode kinetics are described by a concentration dependent Butler-Volmer ... Read More
Ion Range Benchmark
The Ion Range Benchmark model simulates the passage of energetic protons through silicon with both ionization losses and nuclear scattering. The initial energy of the protons is varied using a parametric sweep from 1 keV to 100 MeV. The average path length of the protons is compared to ... Read More
Lightning-Induced Voltage of an Overhead Line Over Lossy Ground
This model shows how to calculate the lightning induced voltage of an overhead line over a lossy ground. Lightning channels with different inclinations are considered. The effect of soil conductivity is also shown. Read More
Ion Funnel
An electrodynamic ion funnel provides an efficient means of transferring ions from regions of high pressure to high vacuum. The ion funnel can couple devices which generally operate at pressures of different orders of magnitude, such as ion mobility spectrometers and mass spectrometers, ... Read More
Smartphone Microspeaker and Port Acoustics: Linear and Nonlinear Analysis
This tutorial model shows how to model a microspeaker located in a smart phone including the radiation through and interaction with the acoustic port that connects to the exterior. The model demonstrates a linear frequency domain analysis as well as a nonlinear time domain analysis. A ... Read More
Viscous Catenary
The catenary is the geometrical shape that corresponds to the curve followed by an idealized chain or cable supported at both ends and hanging under its own weight. The viscous catenary problem describes the motion of a cylinder of highly viscous fluid, supported at its ends as it flows ... Read More
Pulsed Capacitively Coupled Plasma Discharge
This tutorial model shows how to set up a model of a pulsed capacitive discharge. The on pulse consists of 10 periods of excitation at 13.56MHz, followed by no excitation for 100 periods. The I-V characteristics, the electron density, temperature and plasma potential are studied. Read More
Submodel in a Wheel Rim
This tutorial uses the submodeling technique to accurately resolve the stress concentrations in a wheel rim. First a global model is solved to obtain the displacements, which are then used as boundary conditions in a local model of the region where the stress concentrations occur. Read More
Wrapping a CAD Geometry
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
Thermionic Emission in a Planar Diode
When electrons are emitted from a heated cathode in a plane parallel vacuum diode, they contribute to the space charge density in the diode, which in turn affects the electric potential distribution. If the potential difference between the cathode and the anode is not sufficiently large, ... Read More
