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 example, an SF6/argon plasma reactor at moderate pressure is studied using a global model. The heavy species heat equation is included. Parametric sweeps for input power and argon mole fraction are computed. Read More
The Helmholtz filter is a popular technique for imposing a minimum length scale in structural topology optimization, but certain applications also call for a maximum length scale. This model demonstrates how to achieve this using an extra PDE filter. Read More
This example simulates Trichel pulses produced by negative corona discharge under a point-to-plate configuration. The electron density and the electric field are obtained, as well as the discharge current. The discharge current clearly shows the pulsating characters. Each current pulse ... Read More
This model simulates a cylindrical furnace with isotropic scattering. It validates the use of the Discrete Ordinates Method for 2D axisymmetric cases, comparing the results with the highly accurate Monte Carlo method. The setup and reference Monte Carlo values are given in: R .P. Gupta, ... Read More
This model utilizes a continuation solver to efficiently compute the current-voltage characteristics of a corona discharge generated by a wire-to-wire configuration. It provides a flexible framework that can be easily adapted to study other discharge configurations and types. Read More
In this multibody dynamics model of a simple counterweight trebuchet, a parametric sweep is used to study throwing distance as function of the sling length. For more details on performing a multibody analysis of a counterweight trebuchet, see this blog post: What Is the Physics Behind a ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to model transport of the individual ions in a salt melt comprising two binary salts, where the transport equations are defined using concentrated solution theory. The example model defines a molten carbonate fuel cell (or electrolyzer), with a 1D-model geometry ... Read More
You can use the Method Editor in the Application Builder for creating methods that perform almost any type of modeling tasks, including geometry modeling. It is easy to miss the fact that methods can support recursion by having a method calling itself in a recursive loop. Here, we will ... Read More
This example models the desalination of water by capacitive deionization in a "flow-between" cell (fbCDI). The model geometry is in 2D. Steady Brinkman flow, a tertiary current distribution, and the improved modified Donnan description of the deionization process is assumed. Read More
