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.
A spherical water-rich load (potato) is placed on the rotating glass tray of a microwave oven some distance from the center of rotation. 1 kW of 2.45 GHz microwave power is applied via a waveguide feed. The plate rotates at 9 degrees per second. The heat transfer model involves the ... Read More
Diaphragm accumulators are essential components that store energy and regulate hydraulic systems. A flexible rubber diaphragm divides the hydraulic fluid from a compressible inert gas, typically nitrogen. These accumulators perform multiple tasks, such as temporarily storing hydraulic ... Read More
In the surface acoustic waves industry different crystal cuts of piezoelectric materials are used, e.g. 128ᵒ YX LiNbO3, AT&ST quartz, 42ᵒ YX LiTaO3, etc. Direct data isn’t available for all cuts. The standard approach is to use the so-called Euler angle rotation. COMSOL supports it ... Read More
This example illustrates the modeling of a sequential manual transmission, where the gears are selected sequentially with the help of a rotating drum. The shift drum has two grooves of specific profile carved around the circumference. As the drum rotates, the grooves on the drum guide a ... Read More
The study explores charge transport dynamics in polyethylene, a common solid dielectric insulation material. It employs a bipolar charge transport model to calculate the densities of electrons, holes, and their trapped counterparts. The simulation's outcomes for discharge current and ... Read More
This model illustrates the refraction of light while passing through an optical prism using s– and p–polarized incident Gaussian beams. The prism boundaries are coated with anti–reflection coatings. It also calculates the reflectance and transmittance to analyze the performance of anti ... Read More
Lamb-wave resonators are useful components for many radio-frequency applications. This example shows how you model an aluminum nitride Lamb wave resonator and perform eigenfrequency and frequency-response analyses to characterize the device. The tutorial uses the Electric Currents in ... Read More
The copper current collector on negative graphite electrodes in lithium-ion batteries have been seen to dissolve at over discharge. This can be a safety concern as the dissolution damages the current collector irreversibly and dissolved copper ions can redeposit and form dendrites. ... Read More
Non-isothermal non-Newtonian flow in an internal mixer for rubbers and polymers. The Carreau model is used including thermal effects for the viscosity. 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
