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.
When designing oxygen masks for delivering respiratory support to patients via BiPAP and CPAP, multiphysics modeling helps visualize the flow pattern inside the mask for a given design. From there, it is possible to estimate oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide accumulation, and ... Read More
This model computes the particle flux, number density and pressure on the surface of a plate that rotates in a highly directional molecular flow. The results obtained are compared with those from other, approximate, techniques for computing molecular flows. Read More
This model shows how to use the Metal Processing Module and the Optimization Module to calibrate parameters of a phase transformation model against TTT (Time Temperature Transformation) data. Read More
The hydrolysis of propylene oxide into propylene glycol is an important chemical process with 400,000 metric tons produced worldwide each year. Propylene glycol finds wide application as a moisturizer in foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. In this example, the startup phase of a ... Read More
In this set of eight tutorial models and associated documentation, you can investigate the resistive, capacitive, inductive, and thermal properties of a standard three-core lead-sheathed XLPE HVAC submarine cable with twisted magnetic armor (500 mm2, 220 kV). The series includes a 2D, 2D ... Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Visualization of a periodic structure from a unit cell Resetting some or all input parameters Export the resulting material properties as an MPH-file or an XML-file that can be imported to a COMSOL Multiphysics session Periodic microstructures are ... Read More
Nucleate boiling occurs when a liquid is heated by a source hotter than the saturated fluid temperature but with a heat flux below the critical heat flux. In this regime, high heat flux are possible due to the evaporation of the liquid. This model aims to demonstrate the calculation of ... Read More
This model uses the Reacting Flow multiphysics interface to simulate a methane steam reformer. The model accounts for the interactions between the chemical reactions, the transport of species, the fluid flow, and the heat transfer in a porous medium. Read More
Tutorial model of an air-cooled battery energy storage system (BESS). The model includes conjugate heat transfer with turbulent flow, fan curves, internal screens, and grilles. It features several interesting aspects: Fully parameterized geometry, which can be modified for different ... Read More
The model has its emphasis on heat transport in a very small heat exchanger that is commonly used in the field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). In this case, it might be a reactive processes that needs heating. The heat exchanger itself is constructed by stacking several ... Read More
