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.
Annular Ultraviolet Reactor
This model demonstrates how to compute the volumetric fluence rate in an ultraviolet (UV) reactor. The geometry is the annular fluid region surrounding a cylindrical lamp. The effect of reflection at the reactor walls on the radial fluence rate distribution is considered. Read More
Thin gap with radiation
When radiation occurs across a very narrow gap this is often well-approximated as radiation between infinite parallel plates. This model considers three aluminum plates separated by narrow air gaps. The model compares the classical approach, based on the Surface-to-Surface Radiation ... Read More
Harmonic Content of the Power Deposition into a Dual Frequency Capacitively Coupled Plasma
Energy transfer from the time varying electrostatic field to electrons in a capacitively coupled plasmas (CCP) does not exclusively occur at twice the RF frequency. Due to the highly nonlinear mechanism of power transfer from the fields to the electrons, power deposition occurs at ... Read More
Cascaded Rectangular Cavity Filter
A cascaded cavity filter provides much better bandpass filter performance compared to a single cavity. Out-of-band rejection improves dramatically using a cascaded design. This model uses three rectangular cavity filters coupled via slots. The calculated S-parameters show excellent out ... Read More
W-Band Waveguide to Microstrip Line Transition
In this model, the electrical performance of a W-band waveguide to microstrip line transition (WMLT) is investigated. A standard WR10 waveguide is used and the transition from waveguide to microstrip line is achieved by utilizing the longitudinal probe (also known as E-plane probe) ... Read More
Tank Series with Feedback Control
This example illustrates how to set up and solve a tank-in-series model in 0D using the Reaction Engineering interface. The model treats a series of three consecutive tank reactors. A feedback loop continuously adjusts the inlet concentration of the first tank to keep the concentration ... Read More
Molecular Flow Through a Microcapillary
Computing molecular flows in arbitrary geometries produces complex integral equations that are very difficult to compute analytically. Analytic solutions are, therefore, only available for simple geometries. One of the earliest problems solved was that of gas flow through tubes of ... Read More
Simulating the Motion of a Bicycle on a Flat Surface
This model demonstrates the motion of a bicycle with a hands-free rider when given an initial forward velocity and perturbed with a lean about the forward axis. This is implemented through the Multibody Dynamics module in COMSOL. The wheels of the bicycle have been modelled assuming ... Read More
An Introduction to Shape Optimization in COMSOL
This example exemplifies the basics in how to optimize shapes using COMSOL Multiphysics®. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Designing New Structures with Shape Optimization". Read More
Time-Dependent Model of Membrane Dialysis
Example of membrane dialysis with a two-layered membrane. A second Reaction Engineering component models a tank connected to the inlet and outlets of the dialysate channel. Read More
