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.
Light collimation or focusing is a basic task often needed when working with lasers in the lab where singlets are used due to their simplicity. If a plano-convex lens is used for the task, there is a correct lens orientation that minimizes aberrations. A useful rule-of-thumb is to ... Read More
This model shows how to model the avalanche breakdown due to the impact ionization in a Silicon Carbide diode. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the device are presented as well as the electric field distribution plot. Furthermore, the carrier generation term has been computed ... Read More
This example shows how to model Lithium diffusion in a silicon electrode that swells. The model shows how swelling-induced plastic deformation can increase the maximum state of charge (SOC). Read More
Lamb-wave resonators are useful components for many radio-frequency applications. This example shows how you model an aluminum nitride Lamb wave resonator and perform eigenfrequency and frequency-response analyses to characterize the device. The tutorial uses the Electric Currents in ... Read More
The model features the optimization of the geometry of a complex-shaped coil similar to those for induction heating applications. The geometry if fully built and parametrized in COMSOL Multiphysics (taking advantage of Geometry Parts; geometrical construction requires Design Module). The ... Read More
This model is used to demonstrate the solution to a classic brainteaser in electromagnetics. A long loop of wire is connected to a source and a receiver, which are placed 1 meter apart. The objective of the model is to compute how long it takes for the receiver to sense when the source ... Read More
This is a busbar configuration with an AC analysis. The configuration is similar to the introductory tutorial in the book Introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics. However, two conductors are added to represent a more realistic case of magnetic fields surrounding the busbar. The results ... Read More
Usually limited to a specific region, corona discharges appear as a consistent luminosity. The attributes of steady glow corona discharges change depending on their polarity. Positive glow corona, also referred to as Hermstein's glow or ultra corona, presents a direct current (DC) aspect ... Read More
Switched reluctance motors work on the principle of reluctance torque. The stator and rotor will interact to minimize the reluctance for the flux path. This application simulates the behavior of the motor when the stator winding is excited with a step voltage and when the rotor is at a ... Read More
A diplexer is a device that combines or splits signals into two different frequency bands, widely used in mobile communication systems. This example simulates splitting properties using a simplified 2D geometry. The geometry is optimized using shape optimization in order to get the ... Read More
