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.
Beam theories are well-developed for slender structures with homogeneous materials and isotropic cross-sections. The traditional beam theories do no apply to beams made of different materials in the cross-section. Therefore, a homogenization-based numerical model is needed to compute ... Read More
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the most effective methods in molecular biology, medical diagnostics, and biochemical engineering in amplifying a specific sequence of DNA. There has been a great interest in developing portable PCR-based lab-on-a-chip systems for point-of-care ... Read More
This example exemplifies how to optimize the design of a capacitor through optimization. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Changing the Dimensions of a Model Using Shape Optimization". Read More
Cryer's problem is a three-dimensional consolidation benchmark. A porous sphere is subjected to a uniform boundary pressure. The pore pressure at the center of the sphere rises due to the Mandel-Cryer effect that is captured by a two-way coupling between Darcy's law and solid mechanics. Read More
Shape optimization with respect to fatigue properties is not supported, but fatigue properties are well correlated with the maximum stress. The model demonstrates how optimization with respect to a p-norm of the von Mises stress can be used to improve fatigue properties without ... Read More
This model shows the workflow to define a transfer orbit trajectory with user defined orbit option. The direct solar, albedo, and Earth radiative thermal loads are analyzed during the transfer from low Earth orbit to geostationary orbit. Read More
This model compares the solution to the model equations of a tubular reactor using Danckwerts inlet and outlet conditions. A second almost identical model is defined with extra inlet and outlet sections where no reactions occur. The concentration at the beginning of the inlet section is ... Read More
This model shows how to simulate moisture redistribution inside a wall with capillary active interior insulation. The wall consists of three layers: brick, mortar and insulating material. At the beginning of simulation, there is a sudden change in vapor pressure and temperature at ... Read More
This model, dealing with the current and potential distribution around one pair of electrodes, demonstrates how to synchronize and modify geometry in PTC Pro/ENGINEER® by using the LiveLink™ interface. Read More
This model simulates a holographic page data storage system. The studies include the recording and retrieval processes. The object beam encrypting 8-bit data is focused into a holographic material by a Fourier lens (Fourier transformation). In the recording process, the object beam ... Read More
