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.
Bracket — Reduced-Order Modeling
This tutorial illustrates how to use a reduced order model to compute the response of a structure subjected to three simultaneous loads having independent time histories. Reduced order models provide an efficient way to analyze problems within linear structural dynamics. Read More
Waveguide Iris Bandpass Filter
A conductive diaphragm, an iris, placed transverse to a waveguide aperture causes a discontinuity and generates shunt reactance. Bandpass frequency response can be achieved from cascaded cavity resonators combined with these reactive elements which can be created by inserting a series of ... Read More
Four-Bar Mechanism with Assembly Defect
This is a benchmark model for flexible multibody dynamics. This model simulates the dynamic behavior of a planar four-bar mechanism when one of the joints has a defect. The out-of-plane motion in the mechanism, caused by the defect in the joint, is compared with the results from the ... Read More
Bow-Tie Laser Cavity
This type is one of the most popular laser cavities. In particular, it is often used for the Ti-doped sapphire femto-second laser. The stability of the laser cavity is analyzed by releasing a ray inside the cavity and is traced for a predefined time period that is sufficiently long. ... Read More
Step Thrust Bearing
In this tutorial model, a six step thrust bearing is analyzed. A step thrust bearing consists of a stepped bearing surface on which the end of the shaft rotates. The entire assembly is submerged in a lubricant. The shaft collar is assumed to be spinning without any axial motion in the ... Read More
Modeling of Wires, Surfaces, and Solids with Boundary-Element-Based Electrostatics
These examples demonstrate using the Electrostatics, Boundary Elements interface, introduced in version 5.3 of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. In the blog post associated with these files, "How to Create Electrostatics Models with Wires, Surfaces, and Solids", we demonstrate the pros ... Read More
Active Flame Validation
This tutorial demonstrates how to model the interaction between an acoustic field and the heat release from a flame, using the Flame Model domain feature. Modeling this interaction is important in order to understand and predict unstable acoustic modes in gas turbines and jet engines. ... Read More
Fatigue Analysis of a Wheel Rim
High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) of a spoke in a wheel rim is studied. As the wheel rotates, the stress histories in the structure will become nonproportional. The risk of fatigue is evaluated using the Findley criterion. Read More
Optical Smart Radiator Device (SRD) for Solar Applications
The "Smart Radiator Device," a multilayer structure, has the capability to control thermal emissivity at different temperatures. This multilayer structure is lightweight thus finds its application in spacecraft mission. The thermochromic vanadium oxide (VO2) material is the heart of ... Read More
Steam Reformer Geometry
In this tutorial you will learn how to use selections when creating the parametric geometry for the analysis of a steam reformer, and set up the selections needed for the physics definitions. The multiphysics analysis of the steam reformer is described in the model Steam Reformer found ... Read More
