I tried the thermoacoustics physics interface in a model where I use the material properties of water. I used the COMSOL Material Browser to get the properties. The solution is not what I expect. I suspect there is...

I have set up a couple of equilibrium reaction in Reaction Engineering Lab. The results look strange, and I don't even seem to get convergence. The Reaction Engineering Lab together with COMSOL Multiphysics allows you...

How do I take advantage of the symmetries in my COMSOL model? ##Using Symmetries to Reduce Model Size By using symmetries in a model you can reduce its size by one-half or more, making this an efficient tool for...

When plotting the normal flux through the boundaries in my model, I am surprised to see that two adjacent boundary segments have opposed flux. This is clearly not physically possible. Why does this happen and what can...

I am using a time-harmonic application mode to solve an electromagnetics problem. If I want to introduce lossy materials, or materials with gain, what are my options? COMSOL Multiphysics uses the time-harmonic...

Why do the currents in my metal look strange? How can I get a realistic solution at high frequencies? Not resolving the skin depth is one of the more common modeling mistakes in AC and RF applications. Luckily, in most...

I am solving a diffusion-like problem in COMSOL Multiphysics and discovered that boundaries that are defined with insulation/symmetry conditions have an integrated value of the normal component of the flux that is far...
