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.
The model of 1D Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) has been recomputed with the three different kinds of electron energy distribution functions (EEDFs): The Maxwellian function The Druyvesteyn function The computed EEDF based on the Boltzmann Equation, Two-Term Approximation ... Read More
Squeezed-film gas damping is a critical aspect of many MEMS transducers and actuators. In accelerometers, for example, inertia produces a motion that the device detects. A typical structure connects a large proof mass to surrounding structures with elastic beams, which forms a mechanical ... Read More
This model compares the results of five different formulations and approaches to solving an RF heating problem consisting of a coaxial cable inserted into a sample of lossy dielectric material. Results show that the different formulations agree over a wide frequency band. To learn more ... Read More
In fuel cell power generators, a steam reformer unit typically produces the hydrogen needed for the cell stack. This example illustrates the modeling of a steam reformer. The reformation chemistry occurs in a porous catalytic bed where energy is supplied through heating tubes to drive ... Read More
These models demonstrate the usage of the user defined lumped port and lumped elements to introduce excitations and lumped circuit elements between volumetric conductors. Additional models show how to use impedance and transition boundary conditions to model the conductors, instead of ... Read More
The use of wave-based techniques for room acoustic simulations has spread in the last years due to the increase in computational performance as well as the development of new numerical methods. The challenge of including realistic impedance conditions at walls is traditionally solved in ... Read More
The Bessel panel is a way to arrange a number of loudspeakers so that the angular sound distribution resembles that of a single speaker. This model combines five Bessel panels in the same pattern to approximate a purely radial sound field. The speakers are driven with different ... Read More
Walking instability, due to non-uniform distribution of clothes, is a common problem in lightweight portable washing machines. This problem is more severe in horizontal-axis washing machines, which are more popular because of their high efficiency in spite of high manufacturing cost. ... Read More
The installation verification application can be used to help verify that your COMSOL Multiphysics® or COMSOL Server™ installation works as expected on your hardware platforms and operating systems. The app automatically loads and runs a suite of test models and compares the results with ... Read More
This example uses the Electric Currents in Layered Shells interface and the Layered Shell interface to model a piezoresistive pressure sensor. The tutorial considers the design of the MPX100 series pressure sensors originally manufactured by Motorola Inc. Although the sensor is no ... Read More
