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 tutorial model solves the Gross–Pitaevskii Equation for the ground state of a Bose–Einstein condensate in a harmonic trap, using the Schrödinger Equation interface in the Semiconductor Module. The equation is essentially a nonlinear single-particle Schrödinger Equation, with a ... Read More
The AC/DC magnetic interfaces support material models defined in external C code. You can access external material functions, written in C code, which have been compiled into a shared library. By writing a wrapper function in C code, you can also use material functions written in another ... Read More
The Rowland circle is a circle of radius R that lies tangent to a concave curved diffraction grating of radius 2R. If the entrance slit of incoming light is positioned on this circle, then rays reflected by the grating will be focused at various points along the same circle based on ... Read More
In this model, we introduce a cloaking method using an electrically tuned monolayer of graphene. We will show that when a cylindrical dielectric scatterer is covered in graphene, the scattering cross section is greatly reduced at the designated frequency, making it electromagnetically ... Read More
This model illustrates the working principle of a passive electrodynamic bearing. An electrically conducting rotor rotating in a magnetic field produced by a permanent magnets induces eddy currents on the conducting rotor. The eddy currents, in turn, produce a magnetic field that opposes ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how a lumped model of a MEMS transducer can be derived from its FEM model. It includes an FEM model of a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) and the corresponding lumped model created using the Lumped Mechanical System (LMS) interface. The ... Read More
In this example, a hydrogen plasma reactor at moderate pressure is studied using a global model. The heavy species heat equation is included. In the first part of the study, a Maxwellian electron energy distribution function is used. In the second part, the global model is solved self ... Read More
Surface acoustic phonons and surface roughness have an important effect on the carrier mobility, especially in the thin inversion layer under the gate in MOSFETs. The Lombardi surface mobility model adds surface scattering resulting from these effects to an existing mobility model using ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates the use of the density-gradient formulation to include the effect of quantum confinement in the device physics simulation of a silicon inversion layer. This formulation requires only a moderate increase of computational resources as compared to the conventional ... Read More
