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.
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
Vibrating Micromirror with Viscous and Thermal Damping: Transient Behavior
Micromirrors are used in certain MEMS devices to control optic elements. This example model illustrates a mirror that is initially actuated for a short time and then exhibits damped vibrations. It simulates a vibrating micromirror surrounded by air and uses the Thermoviscous Acoustics, ... Read More
Solidly Mounted Resonator 3D
A solidly-mounted resonator (SMR) is a piezoelectric MEMS resonator formed on top of an acoustic mirror stack deposited on a thick substrate. This tutorial shows how to simulate an SMR in 3D. In this example, the eigenmodes were computed with varying number of particles attached to 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
Homogenization in a Chemical Reactor
This model illustrates how to simulate a periodic homogenization process in a space dependent chemical reactor model. This homogenization removes concentration gradients in the reactor at a set time interval. The model demonstrates a technique by which you can first stop the time ... Read More
Rat-Race Coupler
A 180° Ring Hybrid (Rat-Race Coupler) is a four-port network with 180° phase difference between two ports. It is cheaper to manufacture this type of microstrip line component compared to a wave guide 180° hybrid junction, so called magic-T. The objective of this model is to compute the S ... Read More
Lightning Surge Analysis of an Offshore Wind Farm
This model analyzes lightning surges in an offshore wind farm. When a lightning strike with a current of 20 kA hit one wind turbine, the induced electric fields in adjacent wind turbines were computed. Read More
Computing Intercepted Flux
This example model demonstrates four different approaches for computing the integrals of fields over arbitrarily placed geometries that can be re-positioned without having to re-solve the model. This approach is also useful if you want to integrate the results of a model over different ... Read More
Stray Current Pipeline Corrosion
The impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) system is often employed to mitigate corrosion of buried pipelines in the oil and gas industry. Metallic objects such as buried pipelines, which are present within the current flow of the ICCP system, may suffer from the stray current ... Read More
Eppler Airfoil Transition
The flow around the Eppler 387 airfoil is computed with the SST turbulence model both with and without the transition model. The reuslts are compared with experimental values. Read More
