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 example demonstrates how to define the lid-driven cavity benchmark in the field of computational fluid dynamics. In the model setup, a 2D square cavity has a tangentially moving wall that induces a large vortex in the center of the cavity, and small vortices in the corners. The ... Read More
This model demonstrates the transient heating of a sample of material with a time- and space-varying heat load. Issues of solution accuracy with respect to mesh and solver tolerance can be quickly studied on this model. Learn more about this model in the accompanying blog post: "Intro to ... Read More
This example exemplifies how to model applications using the Events Interface where a thermostat is simulated. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Implementing a Thermostat with the Events Interface". Read More
In this tutorial you will learn how to use selections when creating the parametric geometry for the analysis of a steam reformer, and set up the selections needed for the physics definitions. The multiphysics analysis of the steam reformer is described in the model Steam Reformer found ... Read More
This tubular reactor application, together with its associated embedded model, demonstrates how the computational speed can be increased with the use of a surrogate model, as opposed to a fully-fledged finite element model. A surrogate model is a simpler, usually computationally cheaper ... Read More
Use this app to validate that the default settings correctly submit jobs to a cluster. These default settings are taken from the preferences. The app allows you to override the default cluster settings, test modifications to the current setup, and test different settings for connecting ... Read More
These two example models demonstrate how state variables (new in COMSOL Multiphysics® version 5.5) can be used to define and use history-dependent variables. Learn more in the accompanying blog post: "How to Use State Variables in COMSOL Multiphysics®" Read More
For transient acoustic problems, there are different sound pressure level metrics that have been defined in the literature and in measurement standards. These metrics are important to know when comparing results from a transient acoustic simulation to measurements from a sound level ... Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Geometry parts and parameterized geometries Dark theme Material appearance visualization with environment reflections Report generation for both Microsoft® Word and Microsoft® PowerPoint Options for setting different mesh sizes Improved graphics ... 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
