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.
Hydrogen Diffusion in Metals
Hydrogen embrittlement refers to the degradation of metal ductility due to the absorption of hydrogen. The metal becomes more brittle and thus cracks might initiate at lower stress levels. It is important to estimate hydrogen concentration and the speed at which it diffuses into the ... Read More
Head and Torso Simulator Acoustics
In this model, we use the Pressure Acoustics, Boundary Elements physics interface to analyze the acoustics of a generic head and torso simulator. This is a manikin head used to do standardized measurements for hearing aids, mobile phones, and headphones. The model showcases some ... Read More
Resin Transfer Molding of a Wind Turbine Blade
This example shows the modeling of a resin transfer molding (RTM) process for a wind turbine blade using the Two-Phase Flow, Level Set, Brinkman Equations interface. Resin is injected into a preform consisting of different composites with different anisotropic permeabilities. Read More
Nonisothermal Plug-Flow Reactor
This example considers the thermal cracking of acetone, which is a key step in the production of acetic anhydride. The gas phase reaction takes place under nonisothermal conditions in a plug-flow reactor. As the cracking chemistry is endothermic, control over the temperature in the ... Read More
Czerny–Turner Monochromator
A Czerny-Turner monochromator spatially separates polychromatic light into a series of monochromatic rays. This model simulates a crossed Czerny-Turner configuration that consists of a spherical collimating mirror, a planar diffraction grating, a spherical imaging mirror, and an array ... Read More
Axial Field Magnetic Gear in 3D
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 magnet 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
Behavior of a Power-Law Fluid in a Mixer
This model shows how to use simulations to predict power numbers with Power Law fluids in a mixer. It simulates the behavior of flow in a flat bottom tank with a single four-blade pitched impeller. The flow was modeled as laminar and the frozen rotor approach was used to solve the ... Read More
Loudspeaker Radiation: BEM Acoustics Tutorial
In this tutorial, the acoustic radiation pattern from a small generic loudspeaker is analyzed using the boundary element method (BEM). The loudspeaker is located on a small table above the floor and at a given distance from a wall. The model is set up using the Pressure Acoustics, ... Read More
1D Lithium-Ion Battery Drive-Cycle Monitoring
This application shows how a battery cell exposed to a hybrid electric vehicle drive cycle can be investigated with the Lithium-Ion Battery interface in COMSOL. This model predicts the battery behavior to make comparisons of the monitored properties. They can be used to understand the ... Read More
Terzaghi Compaction
Fluids that move through pore spaces in an aquifer or reservoir can shield the porous medium from stress because they bear part of the load from, for instance, overlying rocks, sediments, fluids, and buildings. Withdrawing fluids from the pore space increases the stress the solids bear, ... Read More
