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 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
When the Vdara hotel first opened in Las Vegas, visitors relaxing by the pool would experience intense periods of heat at certain times of the day, at certain times of the year. This intense heat was caused by the reflection of solar radiation from the curved, reflective surface on the ... Read More
In this model example, you will study the creep behavior of material under non-constant loading. You will model the primary creep using a Norton–Bailey law and study the difference between the time hardening and the strain hardening methods available in COMSOL Multiphysics. The model is ...

A bipolar membrane consists of one anion-selective, and one cation-selective membrane, in contact with each other. The combined cation and anion selectivity makes the bipolar membrane highly impermeable to all ions, with the exception of H+ and OH- which are formed by water splitting ... Read More
Compliant mechanisms are attractive due to their simplicity, owing to their lack of hinges. In this model we show how to design a set of compliant pliers using topology optimization. The resulting design is post-processed using shape optimization, where the maximum stress is constrained ... Read More
This model illustrates the instability of a space arc frame under concentrated vertical loading. The Beam interface is utilized. Two different approaches are used: A full incremental nonlinear analysis, where a small lateral load is applied to break the symmetry of the structure A ... 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
As reactant monomer converts into polymer chains, the density of the reacting mixture often changes notably. In this example you will look at how this effect impacts the total production of polymer in a process. The liquid phase polymerization takes place in a semibatch reactor, where ... Read More
In a MESFET, the gate forms a rectifying junction that controls the opening of the channel by varying the depletion width of the junction. In this model we simulate the response of a n-doped GaAs MESFET to different drain and gate voltages. For a n-doped material the electron ... Read More
