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 is a conceptual model illustrating how to couple fluid-structure interaction, heat transfer, and thermal expansion. A bimetallic strip in an air channel is heated so that it bends. After some time, an airflow with an inlet temperature which varies in time is introduced. As a ... Read More
The primary defense of a submarine lies in its capacity to remain hidden during operation. As radio waves are strongly absorbed by sea water, sound navigation ranging, or SONAR, is one of the main methods used for the detection of submarines. SONAR systems are also used for underwater ... Read More
Fiber composites are widely used in industrial applications. Compared to more traditional metallic engineering materials, fiber composites often have superior specific stiffness and strength properties, and they are often more corrosion resistant. Also, properties like strength, ... Read More
The External Material functionality makes it possible to program your own material models for cases when the built-in material models are not sufficient. For structural mechanics, you have the possibility to either completely define the material model in a domain, or to add an inelastic ... Read More
This example studies the natural frequencies of a pretensioned membrane exhibiting stress stiffening. The model results are compared with the analytical solution. Two different techniques for generating the prestress are explored. Read More
In this example, two model for brittle damage are used to evaluate the fracture of a notched concrete beam subjected to three point bending. The results are compared with experimental data. Read More
A plane-wave mode feeds an axisymmetric horn radiating from an infinite baffle toward an open half space. The radius of the waveguide attached to the horn throat is assumed to be fixed, as well as the depth of the horn and the size of the horn mouth attached to the baffle. By varying the ... Read More
This model simulates vibrations in a compound gear train. Spur gears, used to model the gear train, are mounted on rigid shafts. The shafts are supported by an elastic housing at both ends. The gear mesh is assumed to be elastic with varying stiffness, which is the source of vibration. A ... Read More
The suspension of a loudspeaker is designed to keep the membrane in place and avoid any rocking movement of the voice coil. At low frequencies, where the displacement of the membrane is significant, the stiffness of the suspension varies along the movement of the voice coil. This ... Read More
In this tutorial, the eigenmodes and eigenfrequencies of an air bubble in water is modeled and compared with analytical solutions. The effects of surface tension is included and allows to model both the pulsating mode and the surface modes of the bubble. Lastly, the effect of the ... Read More
