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.
Wrapping a CAD Geometry
You can use the Moving Mesh or the Deformed Geometry interface to implement wrapping of a CAD part around one axis. This model demonstrates both how to implement this wrapping, as well as how to subsequently mesh the surrounding volume around the deformed part. A more detailed ... Read More
Modeling a Sphere Falling on a Water Surface
This model shows modeling of a sphere falling on a water surface. Specifically, it models the oscillating motion of a buoyant sphere as it falls through air and interacts with the air-water interface to finally float on water. Get more details in our blog post: Modeling a Sphere Falling ... Read More
Silica Glass Block Coated with a Copper Layer
In this time-dependent model, a silica block of glass, coated with a thin copper layer is subjected to a heat flux. Copper is a highly conductive material, while the silica glass is of poor thermal conductivity, which sets up an highly-varied temperature differential. The model must ... Read More
Smartphone Microspeaker and Port Acoustics: Linear and Nonlinear Analysis
This tutorial model shows how to model a microspeaker located in a smart phone including the radiation through and interaction with the acoustic port that connects to the exterior. The model demonstrates a linear frequency domain analysis as well as a nonlinear time domain analysis. A ... Read More
Dimensioning a Distillation Column for Separation of Water and Ethanol
This example shows how to make a simple model for a binary distillation process. A thermodynamics property package, available in the Chemical Reaction Engineering Module, is created to study the separation of a nonideal mixture of ethanol and water. The required equilibrium relationship ... Read More
Modeling Irregular Shapes by Using Interpolation and Image Data
This file shows how to create a surface of an irregular shape based on text, image, or elevation data. This approach is best suited for data where the height (or elevation) is a function of x- and y-coordinates. The data is of the Matterhorn, a European mountain located in the Alps. In ... Read More
Optimization of a Tesla Microvalve with Transient Flow
This example performs a topological optimization for a Tesla microvalve for an oscillating pressure drop. A Tesla microvalve inhibits backward flow using friction forces rather than moving parts, and therefore the objective is to maximize the average flow rate. The design can be ... Read More
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Test of a PCB
This example demonstrates how an ESD event causes logic error of a microchip on a PCB board. The ESD current is based on the extended HBM (Human Body Model) and it is predefined in the Lumped Port feature. Read More
Squeeze-Film Gas Damping of a Vibrating Disc
This benchmark model computes the total force acting on a vibrating disc in the frequency and time domains and compares both results with expressions derived analytically. When the vibration amplitude is small enough that the system is linear the frequency and time domain results agree ... Read More
Biomechanical Model of the Human Body in a Sitting Posture
The dynamic response of a human body in any vibration environment can be predicted using this biomechanical model. In the automobile industry for instance, this model can be used in ride quality simulation and designing vibration isolators such as seats. In this example, a ... Read More
