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.

Microwave Filter on PCB with Stress

Microstrip filters can be fabricated directly on a printed circuit board (PCB) with a microstrip line going from the input to the output. Along the microstrip line there are a number of stubs of certain lengths and widths. The design of the filter involves choosing the impedance of the ... Read More

The Magnus Effect

The Magnus effect explains the curl that soccer players can give the ball, resulting in the enjoyable goals that we can see in every FIFA World Cup™. This model looks at the Magnus effect in the laminar and turbulent flow regimes for transient and stationary flows. It also discusses ... Read More

Self-Demagnetization of a Cylindrical AlNiCo Magnet

Soft permanent magnets like AlNiCo are easily demagnetized if handled incorrectly. This is a demonstration of how to model the self-demagnetization of a cylindrical AlNiCo magnet when moved out of its associated/protective magnetic circuit. The modeling is performed in three steps: The ... Read More

Parameter Estimation of Hyperelastic Materials

This tutorial model demonstrates how to set up a parameter estimation study for fitting the material parameters of an Ogden hyperelastic model to experimental data. The procedure considers multiple load cases under large deformations, which is often necessary to obtain constitutive ... Read More

High-Speed Interconnect Tuning by Time-Domain Reflectometry

In signal integrity (SI) applications, time-domain reflectometry (TDR) is a useful technique for analyzing the discontinuity in a signal path by observing the reflected signal strength. The reflected signal distorts the input pulse mainly by impedance mismatch if there is no external ... Read More

Thermal Impact of a Borehole Heat Exchanger Array

This model shows how to compute an array of borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) for shallow geothermal energy production. The BHEs are simplified as line heat sinks with a uniform heat extraction rate. The array is embedded into a layered subsurface model with groundwater flow in one of the ... Read More

Estimation of Corrosion Kinetics Parameters

This tutorial shows how to use the Optimization interface to perform electrode kinetics parameter estimations based on polarization data. A zero-dimensional electrode polarization model is defined that separates kinetics expressions for the metal dissolution and the oxygen reduction ... Read More

Copper Electroless Deposition

Electroless deposition or plating is a non-galvanic plating method that does not require any external electrical power. This technique is typically used for electroless plating of nickel, silver, gold and copper. In electroless deposition, partial oxidation and reduction reactions ... Read More

Mixed-Mode S-Parameters Analysis

Mixed-mode S-parameters describe the responses of a circuit with balanced ports excited and terminated by two types of modes: common and differential modes. They are calculated using a full S-parameter matrix of a four-port network that is composed of four single ended lines. This ... Read More

Bulk temperature evaluation

This tutorial illustrates how to use built-in variables and operators, for the evaluation of the bulk temperature along a geometry like a channel, a pipe or a chimney, in a nonisothermal flow in 2D and 3D. The bulk temperature may be needed to compute the heat transfer coefficient for an ... Read More
