Acoustic Liner with a Grazing Background Flow
This model demonstrates how to compute the acoustic properties of an acoustic liner with a grazing flow. The liner consists of eight resonators with thin slits. The background grazing flow is at Mach number 0.3. The sound pressure level above the liner is computed and can be compared to ... Read More
Topology Optimization of a Drone
Topology optimization for low volume fractions in 3D follows the same methodology as in 2D for medium volume fractions. The only difference is the need for iterative solvers. This model demonstrates topology optimization of a drone for a volume fraction of 12.5 %, while considering two ... Read More
Electron Beam Divergence Due to Self-Potential
When modeling the propagation of charged particle beams at high currents, the space charge force generated by the beam significantly affects the trajectories of the charged particles. Perturbations to these trajectories, in turn, affect the space charge distribution. The Charged ... Read More
Localized Corrosion Using the Level Set Method
This example models galvanic corrosion between two different phases in a magnesium alloy for a representative cross-sectional microstructure configuration. The Level Set interface is used here to model dissolution of a constituent phase leading to topological changes. The electrode ... Read More
Control of an Inverted Pendulum
This model shows how to control the position of the base of an inverted pendulum to keep it vertical. The control is performed using a PID controller in Simulink®. The position of the base is constrained within specified limits, and an external force is applied at the base to keep it ... Read More
Wax Guard Acoustics: Transfer Matrix Computation
In this tutorial, the acoustic properties of a wax guard are analyzed. A wax guard is a small perforated mesh used to protect the receiver (the miniature loudspeaker in a hearing aid) used for receiver-in-the-ear (RITE) or receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aids. Because of the very small ... Read More
Monopole Antenna Array
It is possible to shape the radiation pattern and steer the beam from an antenna array by controlling the relative phases and magnitudes of the input signal. This example shows how to design an active electronically scanned array (AESA) using arithmetic phase progression on each antenna ... Read More
Double-Headed Streamer in Nitrogen
This tutorial model presents a study of a double-headed streamer in nitrogen at atmospheric pressure. An initial seed of electrons is placed between two electrodes which apply an initial electric field of 52 kV/cm to the gas. A negative and positive streamer propagate toward the ... Read More
Electrostatic Chuck
This models pressure-dependent heating of 4 inch wafer on unipolar electrostatic chuck. Wafer sits on top of ring with electrostatic force holdong down wafer to counter upward pressure from gas flowing in gap between wafer and chuck surface. It is a problem involving 4 coupled physics ... Read More
Heterogeneous Model of a Porous Catalyst Bed
A catalyst particle with a hypothetical microstructure is described in detail. The heterogeneous description is approximated in a second model with a homogeneous particle and the results from the two approaches are compared. See: https://www.comsol.se/blogs/modeling-approaches-in ... Read More
