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 aims to demonstrate how a multilayer insulation can affect the temperature distribution of a satellite orbiting around the Earth. It is based on the Spacecraft Thermal Analysis model available in the Application Library. Read More
This model demonstrates the caustic effect produced by a cylindrical mirror. It highlights the advantages of the forward ray shooting method when modeling specular reflections from an external radiation source with the Surface-to-Surface Radiation interface. Read More
This tutorial model demonstrates the use of the Area Scaling Factor (ASF) in the Heat Transfer in Shells interface, to account for the curvature of the layers when applying heat fluxes and heat sources. The results obtained with the Heat Transfer in Shells interface applied to a ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to use the temperature and relative humidity computed from a heat and moisture transport simulation of an insulated roof as inputs for a mold prediction model. The VTT model for mold growth and decline prediction calculates a mold index M by solving an ... Read More
This tutorial model demonstrates the use of the multiphysics coupling feature Thermal Connection, Layered Shell, Edges. In this model, three layered shells are connected to heat domains by edges at difference locations related to the heat domains. The results obtained with the Heat ... Read More
This model is used on "Heat Transfer with Radiation in Participating Media and the Discrete Ordinates Method" to compare quadrature sets used in the method of discrete ordinates. The reference analytical solution of incident irradiation is obtained with 256 discrete directions. Errors in ... Read More
In this model, we use the Bioheat Transfer interface to solve the Pennes bioheat transfer equation. The problem is in 1D and formulated to be dimensionless. The results are compared against analytical solutions derived in a journal paper (Ref. 1). A mesh convergence study shows that the ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to simulate coupled heat and moisture transport in a wall made of a load bearing and an insulation layer. Moisture and temperature conditions vary with time on both sides of the wall and rain loading is included. The 1D model is a benchmark test defined in ... Read More
A smoke exhaust duct in a building is analyzed. Radiation of a non-gray gas is accounted for with a Radiation in Participating Media interface and the Weighted Sum of Gray Gases Model (WSGG). The smoke exhaust duct consists of 25 mm plaster walls. Building codes require that the walls ... Read More
