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.

Transient Rolling Contact

This conceptual example shows how to handle a transient contact problem with stick-slip friction transition. A soft hollow pipe subjected to gravity is released at the top of a halfpipe. The pipe motion varies between sliding and rolling, depending on its position in the halfpipe and its ... Read More

Water and Carbon Dioxide Co-Electrolysis in a Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell

This example models co-electrolysis of H2O and CO2 using a solid oxide electrolyzer cell. The model includes the full coupling between the mass balances and gas flow in the H2 and O2 gas diffusion electrodes, the momentum balances in the H2 and O2 gas flow channels, the energy balance ...

This is a model of the secondary current distribution in a zinc electrowinning cell. The model investigates the impact on the current distribution when changing the electrode alignment in a parametric study. The geometry is in 2D. Read More

Electrodynamic Wheel Magnetic Levitation in 2D

This model illustrates the working principle of an electrodynamic wheel (EDW) magnetic levitation system. EDW magnetic levitation system consists of rotating and/or translationally moving permanent magnet Halbach rotor above a passive conducting guideway/track. Eddy current is ... Read More

2D Non-Newtonian Slot-Die Coating

This tutorial shows how to model a slot die coating process with a power-law non-Newtonian fluid in one of the two phases. The model uses a two-phase flow phase-field method. Read More

Model of an Argon/Oxygen Inductively Coupled Plasma Reactor

This tutorial model solves for an inductively coupled plasma reactor in a mixture of argon/oxygen. The model computes the fluid flow and gas heating. Important aspects and strategies for modeling electronegative discharges are discussed. Read More

How to Generate Randomized Inhomogeneous Material Data

These examples demonstrate how to generate and visualize randomized material data with specified statistical properties determined by a spectral density distribution by using the tools available under the Results node. In the blog post associated with these files, "How to Generate ... Read More

Two-Arm Helical Antenna

A helical antenna has two major modes. One is normal mode and the other is axial mode. When the helical antenna is operating at the normal mode, its far-field radiation pattern is similar to the torus shaped pattern of a classic dipole antenna. At the axial mode, the helical antenna is ... Read More

Failure Prediction in a Laminated Composite Shell

Laminated composite shells made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) are common in a large variety of applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio. Evaluation of the structural integrity of a laminated composite shell for a set of applied loads is necessary to make the ... Read More

Phase Transformations in a Round Bar

A 2D model of a steel bar is used to simulate oil quenching from an austenitic state. Both diffusive and displacive phase transformations are used, and the phase composition is computed in the radial direction of the bar. Read More
