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.
Contaminant-Removal from Wastewater in a Secondary Clarifier by Sedimentation
Wastewater treatment is a several-step process for removing contaminants. Firstly, large, solid particles are removed through sedimentation, flotation, and filtration. And then in a second step, biological treatment causes the smaller particles to aggregate, forming so called flocs. ... Read More
Dielectric Shielding Comparison
The dielectric shielding boundary condition is meant to approximate a thin layer of material with high relative permittivity compared to its surroundings. This boundary condition is available for electrostatic field modeling. This example compares the dielectric shielding boundary ... Read More
Two-Phase Nonisothermal Zero-Gap Alkaline Water Electrolyzer
This model defines a zero-gap alkaline water electrolyzer, where oxygen and hydrogen gas are evolved in porous gas diffusion nickel felt electrodes, placed adjacent to a porous separator (diaphragm). The geometry defines a unit cell of an electrolyzer stack, in turn comprising two full ... Read More
Ultrasonic Car Parking Sensor
This tutorial demonstrates how to compute the response of an ultrasonic car parking sensor transducer coupling Pressure Acoustics, Frequency Domain, Solid Mechanics, and Piezoelectric Materials. The far-field radiation pattern of the transducer is then used as a source for a Ray ... Read More
Virtual Operations on a Wheel Rim Geometry
This tutorial shows how to perform virtual geometry operations on an imported CAD geometry. These virtual operations, such as form composite entities or ignore entities can help to improve the mesh and reduce the total element number. Read More
Stress Analysis of an Elliptic Membrane
This is a benchmark model for a plane stress problem. The accuracy of the computed stress concentration is evaluated, and a mesh convergence study is performed for different element types. Read More
Schottky Contact
Schottky Contact This benchmark simulates the behavior of an ideal Schottky barrier diode made of a tungsten contact deposited on a silicon wafer. The resulting J-V (current density vs. applied voltage) curve obtained from the model under forward bias is compared with experimental ... Read More
Viscoelastic Flow Through a Channel with a Flexible Wall
This model represents a test case of a flow in an elastic tube which is present in several applications. This specific case models viscoelastic flow and represents steady flow in a channel in which part of the upper wall is replaced by an elastic plate subjected to an external pressure. ... Read More
Electric Sensor
This is a model from electric impedance tomography, a method of imaging the interior permittivity distribution of a body by measuring current and voltage at the surface. This model demonstrates how the shape and placement of figures with different material properties inside a closed ... Read More
Elastoplastic Analysis of Holed Plate
This example shows the analysis of a perforated plate loaded into the plastic regime. Part of the example is a benchmark, which you can find in section 7.10 of The Finite Element Method by O.C. Zienkiewicz. The unloading of the plate and residual stresses are also studied. In a second ... Read More
