In accordance with our Quality Policy, COMSOL maintains a library of hundreds of documented model examples that are regularly tested against the latest version of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, including benchmark problems from ASME and NAFEMS, as well as TEAM problems.
Our Verification and Validation (V&V) test suite provides consistently accurate solutions that are compared against analytical results and established benchmark data. The documented models below are part of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software’s built-in Application Libraries. They include reference values and sources for a wide range of benchmarks, as well as step-by-step instructions to reproduce the expected results on your own computer. You can use these models not only to document your software quality assurance (SQA) and numerical code verification (NCV) efforts, but also as part of an in-house training program.
Powder compaction is a key process in powder metallurgy, where it gives the flexibility to produce quality products of complex shapes for sintering. The density of the compact is a key factor to determine the overall quality of the sintered product, as regions with lower density could ... 詳細を見る
This example models the radiation of fan noise from the annular duct of a turbofan aeroengine. When the jet stream exits the duct, a vortex sheet appears along the extension of the duct wall due to the surrounding air moving at a lower speed. The near field on both sides of the vortex ... 詳細を見る
The capability to alter the polarization of light is crucial to a wide variety of optical devices. For example, the polarization of light has a significant effect on the performance of optical isolators, attenuators, and beam splitters. By assigning a specific polarization to light, most ... 詳細を見る
The hydrolysis of propylene oxide into propylene glycol is an important chemical process with 400,000 metric tons produced worldwide each year. Propylene glycol finds wide application as a moisturizer in foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. In this example, the startup phase of a ... 詳細を見る
This benchmark studies the nonlinear deformation of a spherical cap subjected to point load at center using 2D axisymmetric Solid Mechanics and Shell interfaces. The results from the Shell interface are compared with Solid Mechanics interface as well as with analytical results given in ... 詳細を見る
This model simulates a negative dielectric barrier discharge under a point-to-plate electrode configuration. Two solid dielectric layers are inserted into the air gap. A negative voltage of 2.5 kV is applied to the cathode electrode, initiating a corona streamer that propagates and ... 詳細を見る
This example demonstrates the wrinkling of a thin rectangular sheet stretched uniaxially. First, a static analysis is performed to determine the region of negative principal stresses without wrinkling. Next, a prestressed buckling analysis is carried out to find out the linearized ... 詳細を見る
This example reproduces a NAFEMS benchmark in which a plate with an angle crack is subjected to tensile loading. The J-integral is calculated and the stress intensity factors for Mode I and Mode II are compared to the benchmark results for several crack angles. 詳細を見る
This simple example covers the heating of a finite slab and how the temperature varies with time. We will set up the problem in COMSOL Multiphysics after which we compare the solution to the analytical solution. 詳細を見る
Isotropic compression is a common material test in soil mechanics. The modified Cam-Clay (MCC) model describes the relation between the void ratio and the logarithm of the pressure. In this example, a cylindrical soil sample under isotropic compression is simulated. It is verified that, ... 詳細を見る
