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.
Non-Newtonian fluids have complex flow characteristics that vary with shear rate, making their behavior in porous materials difficult to predict. Pore scale modeling captures these flow patterns at a microscopic level, helping derive properties for macroscale use. This model ... Read More
This model demonstrates the use of the Heat and Moisture Flow features for the simulation of superheated steam drying of a wood particle. A nonequilibrium formulation is used to compute the transport of the liquid water and vapor phases in the wood particle. Reference: Le, K. H., ... Read More
This example models a split-and-recombine mixer channel in which a tracer fluid is introduced and mixed by multilamination. Diffusion is removed from the model using an extremely low diffusion coefficient so that any numerical diffusion can be studied in the lamination interfaces. The ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to use the built-in shape optimization functionality to improve the performance of a plate heat exchanger. The optimization reduces the path immediately in front of the inlets and outlets to increase the length of typical streamlines. This leads to a improved ... Read More
These tutorial models show how to use the tools to assist with defining surface-to-surface radiation models. In the first model, radiation direction symbols are used to find an unexpected configuration where the opacity is not correctly defined. In the other, the topology check ... Read More
This tutorial model can be used to learn how to calculate mass and energy balances. Get a detailed demonstration in this blog post: How to Calculate Mass Conservation and Energy Balance Read More
This model shows how to define a frequency-domain analysis of heat transfer. The 3-omega method uses the Cahill's equation to approximate the thermal conductivity of a sample from the measured temperature of a metal strip placed on top of it and subject to oscillating heating. The 2D ... Read More
This model simulates the flow through a uniform inclined screen using the Screen feature in Single-Phase Flow physics and compares the results with an analytic solution. Read More
Non-isothermal non-Newtonian flow in an internal mixer for rubbers and polymers. The Carreau model is used including thermal effects for the viscosity. Read More
Opto-acoustophoresis is a term used to describe the interplay between acoustics and optical fields. In most cases (including this) the optical field is heating up the material and therefore affecting the acoustic field. In this example of an acoustic trap a set of particle are trapped ... Read More
