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 model demonstrates the analysis of lightning surges on high voltage transmission line towers. Lightning carrying a current of 10 kA struck one of the tower's shielded wires. The induced voltage at the three-phase conductors are computed. Some highlights of this model: Perform ... Read More
This example demonstrates the bending analysis of a simply supported composite laminate under sinusoidal distributed transverse load. The composite laminate is thick, with a thickness to side length ratio of 1/4. The laminate has three layers in a cross-ply layup. The model is solved ... Read More
This presentation and series of models show how to use the Deformed Mesh interfaces to model small and large translations and rotations of objects. A more detailed description of these models can be seen in the blog post Model Translational Motion with the Deformed Mesh Interfaces and ... Read More
This shows how a Gaussian beam incident on a periodic structure can be efficiently simulated. This could be applied to structured surfaces like metasurfaces or diffraction gratings. Because of superposition, only a single unit cell needs to be simulated. This can provide extremely ... Read More
This is a model of a MEMS microphone solved in the frequency domain including the DC prestress effects. The model is set up using the Electromechanics multiphysics interface, Thermoviscous Acoustics, and Pressure Acoustics. The microphone consists of a perforated plate and a prestressed ... Read More
This model investigates the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Gaseous Electronics Conference (GEC) reference cell in two dimensions using the Plasma, Time Periodic interface. A 2D example helps in understanding the physics without excessive CPU time. The cell is ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to solve the full time-dependent wave equation in dispersive media such as plasmas and semiconductors. The 2D TM in-plane wave model solves for the vector potential from the wave equation and for an auxiliary electric polarization density from an ordinary ... 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 model shows how to build and solve a radiative heat transfer problem using the Heat Transfer interface. In particular, this 2D model illustrates the use of the surface-to-surface radiation feature. In this model, three surfaces form a cavity. Heat flux is set at two outer ... Read More
Removing halogen groups from hydrocarbons is an important reaction step in several chemical processes. One application is water purification. Other examples involve organic synthesis, where the removal of halogen groups serves as a starting point for carbon-carbon coupling reactions. ... Read More
