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.

Pierce Electron Gun

An electron gun must be able to draw a sufficient current and accelerate the electrons to the desired speed. The first part of an electron gun geometry presents unique design challenges because the emitted electron speeds are usually lowest there, and therefore the space charge density ... Read More

Capacitively Coupled Plasma

The NIST Gaseous Electronics Conference has provided a platform for studying Capacitively Coupled Plasma (CCP) reactors, which is what this application is based upon. The operating principle of a capacitively coupled plasma is different when compared to the inductive case. In a CCP ... Read More

Tweeter Dome and Waveguide Shape Optimization

A tweeter is a high frequency driver used in loudspeaker systems. An ideal tweeter will produce a constant sound pressure level at a given distance in front of the driver independently of frequency, that is, a flat response. Ideally the tweeter will also, to a certain degree, maintain ... Read More

Dynamic Wall Heat Exchanger

The heat exchanger in this tutorial model contains a dynamic wall with an oscillating wave shape. The deformation induces mixing in the fluid and reduces the formation of thermal boundary layers. Hence, it increases heat transfer between the walls and the fluid. In addition, the wave ... Read More

Jelly Roll Using a Flattened Geometry

This example replicates the results of the Jelly Roll tutorial example using a flattened representation of the wound spiral-based geometry. See that model entry for details on the background, original geometry, materials, and the general physics setup. Mapping the original problem to a ... Read More

Vibration in a Washing Machine Assembly

Vibration and noise in washing machines, due to the non-uniform distribution of clothes in the barrel, is a common problem worth studying and optimizing for. This model simulates a multibody dynamics model of a horizontal-axis portable washing machine. An eigenfrequency analysis is ... Read More

Transmission Line Parameter Calculator

This app demonstrates the following: Creating apps for small screens such as smartphones User-interface navigation with a top menu typically used on websites Dynamically hiding forms using card stacks to minimize the space required by the app Changing appearance by using different ... Read More

Copper Deposition in a Through-Hole Via

This model demonstrates the "butterfly" filling mechanism for copper electrodeposition in a Through-Hole (TH) via exposed to an electrolyte containing halide-suppressor additives. The Tertiary Current Distribution, Nernst Planck interface in combination with Deformed Geometry is used ... Read More

Pyrolysis of Wood

The pyrolysis of a centimeter-sized wood particle presents a fully coupled multiphysics problem with mass transfer, fluid flow, and heat transfer. This example model consists of two parts. The first part demonstrates how to set up a model describing the pyrolysis of a porous, ... 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
