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.
When simulations are involved in the development of mobile devices, consumer electronics, hearing aids, or headsets, it is necessary to consider how the transducers interact with the rest of the system. Here, we show an analysis of the interaction between a vibration isolation mounting ... Read More
The tonpilz (sound mushroom) piezoelectric transducer is a transducer for relatively low frequency, high power sound emission. The transducer consists of piezoceramic rings stacked between massive ends and pre-stressed by a central bolt. The tail and head mass lower the resonance ... Read More
In this model, we use the Pressure Acoustics, Boundary Elements physics interface to analyze the acoustics of a generic head and torso simulator. This is a manikin head used to do standardized measurements for hearing aids, mobile phones, and headphones. The model showcases some ... Read More
The noise emitted from an electrical machine can have many sources. In this example, acoustic noise from vibrations created by magnetic force variation is studied. Such noise is often audible at twice the excitation frequency but can also occur at higher frequencies or harmonics of the ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to compute the response of an ultrasonic car parking sensor transducer coupling Pressure Acoustics, Frequency Domain, Solid Mechanics, and Piezoelectric Materials. The far-field radiation pattern of the transducer is then used as a source for a Ray ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to simulate a piezoelectric transducer as both a sound transmitter and a receiver in a well logging setup. Other applications of this setup are, for example, in the field of nondestructive testing. A transmitting transducer is connected to an electrical ... Read More
This is a model of a simple thermoacoustic engine that includes a thermal stack to convert thermal energy to acoustic energy. The model is set up using two approaches: 1) Using a linear perturbation (acoustic) approaches solving the fluid motion with the Thermoviscous Acoustics, ... Read More
This conceptual model analyzes the influence of leaks on the acoustic response of an earbud speaker placed in an ear-canal-like geometry. Built-in impedance models are used to capture the effects of a perforated plate in front of the speaker, skin impedance, and ear drum impedance. The ... Read More
This simple tutorial model shows how to set up a parametric sweep over a number of frequency bands (octaves or 1/3 octaves) and remesh once per band. A frequency sweep is performed within each band, which now has an adequate mesh resolution. This approach saves some computational effort ... Read More
This model utilizes the thermoviscous acoustic interface in a sub-model to obtain detailed results for the transfer impedance of a perforated plate (including the thermal and viscous losses). The impedance is in turn used as an internal impedance in a pressure acoustic model of a ... Read More
