Eigenmodes in the Presence of Flow using Linearized Navier-Stokes: Annulus Geometry with Shear Flow
Finding acoustic eigenmodes in problems solved with linearized convected acoustic interfaces can be a challenging task. The solution will most often return several non-acoustic vorticity and entropy modes. These are highly damped waves that do not propagate at the speed of sound but with ... Read More
Using the Monte Carlo Method to Estimate the Value of Pi
A classic way of estimating pi is by using the Monte Carlo method. This involves randomly placing points inside a square and counting how many lie within a circle inscribed in the square. The ratio of points inside the circle to the number of points in total can be used to approximate ... Read More
Zero Pressure Gradient 2D Flat Plate
This model is a verification case to attest the behavior of turbulence models and wall functions in the boundary layer of a turbulent flow. The velocity and the temperature are compared to the theoretical curves in a wall-resolved and a wall-modeled approach using the Algebraic y+ ... Read More
Uniaxial Loading of a Shape Memory Alloy Using the Souza–Auricchio Model
The model includes a compilation of benchmark examples included in the text book: Shape Memory Alloys: Modeling and Engineering Applications. D. Lagoudas Ed. Springer 2008. The model uses the Souza–Auricchio model and shows the thermomechanical properties of a NiTi alloy sample ... Read More
Sound Radiation from Circular Duct with Flow
Model of the sound radiation from a circular duct with flow. The convected acoustic problem is described using the linearized potential flow (LPF) equations. The acoustic inlet is treated including higher order modes by combining the Port boundary condition and a Boundary Mode analysis. ... Read More
Busbar, AC Analysis
This is a busbar configuration with an AC analysis. The configuration is similar to the introductory tutorial in the book Introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics. However, two conductors are added to represent a more realistic case of magnetic fields surrounding the busbar. The results ... Read More
Holographic Page Data Storage Simulation
This model simulates a holographic page data storage system. The studies include the recording and retrieval processes. The object beam encrypting 8-bit data is focused into a holographic material by a Fourier lens (Fourier transformation). In the recording process, the object beam ... Read More
Transfer Matrix of a Tube and Coupler Measurement Setup
This tutorial computes the transfer matrix of a tube and coupler measurement test setup. This type of setup is used for standardized testing, for example, for miniature loudspeakers or hearing aids. The Port boundary condition in Pressure Acoustics, Frequency Domain is used together ... Read More
Dynamics of a Hopping Hoop
In this example, the dynamics of a hopping hoop is simulated. A rigid rolling ring with a point mass on the perimeter can, under certain conditions, jump up from the surface on which it is rolling. The effects of different parameters like initial velocity and friction are explored. You ... Read More
Optimization of a Crane Link Mechanism
In complex mechanical systems, it can be challenging to find an optimal (or even good enough) solution only through engineering insight or trial-and-error procedures. Using mathematical optimization methods can then be an efficient path to a better design. In this example, a link ... Read More
