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.
In this tutorial model, a six step thrust bearing is analyzed. A step thrust bearing consists of a stepped bearing surface on which the end of the shaft rotates. The entire assembly is submerged in a lubricant. The shaft collar is assumed to be spinning without any axial motion in the ... Read More
A radome minimizes losses and improves radiation characteristics of an antenna through its design. The structure can be optimized to minimize the transmission loss and also designed to improve radiation characteristics including antenna directivity and side lobes. Shown in the model is ...

This application uses the shrinking core model to study the reduction of iron ore pellets. A 1D model of a packed bed containing iron ore pellets is modeled. The bed filling pellets initially consists of solid phase FeO. The pellets are reduced by CO, and the solid core shrinks leaving a ... Read More
Thermoelectric coolers are widely used for electronics cooling in various application areas, ranging from consumer products to spacecraft design. The thermoelectric modules are a common application of thermoelectricity in cooling engineering. They consist of several thermoelectric legs ... Read More
In this application, a solution is pumped through a catalytic bed where a solute species reacts as it gets in contact with the solid catalyst. The purpose of this example is to maximize the total reaction rate for a given total pressure difference across the bed, by finding the optimal ... Read More
In this tutorial model, the acoustics of the human ear canal are investigated. The output includes the input impedance and the transfer impedance, as well as the level transformation from the entrance to the ear drum. The geometry of the ear canal used is based on measurements from test ... Read More
Electric impedance measurements are used for imaging and detection. Applications range from nondestructive testing and geophysical imaging to medical imaging. Several alternative techniques are shown to model such a system. One of them shows how to use conditional expressions to define ... Read More
In this example, the properties of an engineeredmaterial are modeled by a spatially varying dielectric distribution. Specifically, a convex lens shape is defined via a known deformation of a rectangular domain. The dielectric distribution is defined on the undeformed, original ... Read More
This tutorial model solves the Gross–Pitaevskii Equation for the vortex lattice formation in a rotating Bose–Einstein condensate bound by a harmonic trap. The equation is essentially a nonlinear single-particle Schrödinger Equation, with the inter-particle interaction represented by a ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to model the interaction between an acoustic field and the heat release from a flame, using the Flame Model domain feature. Modeling this interaction is important in order to understand and predict unstable acoustic modes in gas turbines and jet engines. ... Read More
