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 a lithium metal battery, lithium metal is deposited during charging on the negative electrode. Mass transport and ohmic effects in the electrolyte cause small protrusions on the metal surface to be subjected to accelerated growth during charging. In worst case scenarios, this leads to ...

Battery electrodes featuring large heterogeneities in terms of particle sizes may sometimes not be adequately described by homogenized models using one single particle size only. As an alternative to adding multiple instances of the Additional Porous Electrode material node, this ... Read More
Prismatic lithium cells are widely used in electric vehicles and battery energy storage systems. This example demonstrates the use of the Lithium-Ion Battery interface for a full 3D prismatic battery equipped with two jelly rolls. The model defines a full so-called Newman model but ... Read More
This app can be used as a design tool to develop an optimized battery configuration for a specific application. The application computes the capacity, energy efficiency, heat generation, and capacity losses due to parasitic reactions of a battery for a specific load cycle. Various ... Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Dynamic help system using card stacks Multiple components (1D and 3D) in a single app Toggle buttons in the ribbon for showing different input, hiding/showing geometry selections, and for dynamic help Geometry parts and parameterized geometries ... Read More
In a cylindrical or prismatic battery cell, the active layers, current collector metal foils and separators are wound into a “jelly roll”. Additional tabs (metal strips) are welded to the current collector foils in order to conduct the current to the exterior of the cell can. The ... Read More
This example shows how to model Lithium diffusion in a silicon electrode that swells. The model shows how swelling-induced plastic deformation can increase the maximum state of charge (SOC). Read More
These two apps can be run to set up a digital twin of an electric scooter battery. The Digital Twin Simulator of an Electric Scooter Battery (the "simulator" app) simulates the use of an electric scooter and generates battery current and voltage data over time. The Digital Twin ... Read More
A simple equivalent circuit model approach is presented for Nickel metal hydride batteries. The 0D model consists of resistor, capacitor, current source and state-of-charge based voltage source (SOC). An Arrhenius type dependence is used to account for self-discharge. All model ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates the Lumped Battery interface for modeling capacity loss in a battery. A set of lumped parameters are used to describe the capacity loss that occurs due to parasitic reactions in the battery, assuming no knowledge of the internal structure or design of the ... Read More
