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 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
An interesting question was raised in the 1950s by the mathematician Ernst Straus that, in an arbitrarily shaped empty room with side walls made of perfect mirrors, will a point light source always illuminate the whole room? This question was answered by the Nobel Prize-winning ... Read More
This model of a simple electromagnetics application, a structural color filter, demonstrates using a surrogate model to solve both the forward and inverse problem. The structural color filter consists of a metal-dielectric-metal interface that functions like a Fabry-Perot cavity with ... Read More
This tutorial model of the Joule heating effect in a busbar demonstrates how to synchronize an assembly between the PTC Pro/ENGINEER® software and the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, how to modify the geometry from COMSOL Multiphysics®, and how to run a geometric ... Read More
In this model, the electrical performance of a W-band waveguide to microstrip line transition (WMLT) is investigated. A standard WR10 waveguide is used and the transition from waveguide to microstrip line is achieved by utilizing the longitudinal probe (also known as E-plane probe) ... Read More
This example exemplifies how to model the impedance of a waveguide of varying cross sectional area. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Computing the Impedance of a Corrugated Waveguide". Read More
In this model, a linear magnetic gear system with a gear ratio of 11:4 is modeled. The liner magnetic gear is assumed to be infinitely long with the modular structure that is repeating on either side. Only a single modular section is modeled by using the customized linear periodic ... Read More
This model is a verification case to attest the behavior of turbulence models and wall functions in the boundary layer of a turbulent flow. The velocity and the temperature are compared to the theoretical curves in a wall-resolved and a wall-modeled approach using the Algebraic y+ ... Read More
Fractals exhibit self-similarity at different scales and are often found in nature. Fractal noise is a technique used to emulate organic-looking textures, such as to achieve realistic visualizations of various materials in COMSOL Multiphysics®. These models demonstrate how to ... Read More
Bicycle wheels are laced tangentially if they are intended to be used with disc brakes, because a radial pattern gives rise to larger forces in the rim. Otherwise, these rim forces are largely independent of the braking force. Read More
