Simulação de um Sistema de Levitação Acústica para Manipulação de Partículas em Ar
Este trabalho apresenta a simulação numérica de um sistema de levitação acústica para manipulação de partículas em ar. O sistema de levitação consiste de dois transdutores de ultrassom e um refletor de face plana. Através da simulação é calculado o potencial da força de radiação acústica ... Read More
A Multiphysics Approach to the Design of Loudspeaker Drivers
Loudspeaker drivers are energy transducers: their main goal is to efficiently convert electrical energy to acoustic energy (sound), through the movement of mechanical parts. As such, they are prime candidates for the application of multiphysics methods and tools. The talk will outline ... Read More
Multiphysics Analysis of a Thermo-Acoustic MHD Inductive Generator
Magneto-Hydrodynamic (MHD) power generation systems were originally investigated starting from the fact that the interaction of a plasma with a magnetic field must take place at much higher temperatures than could be observed in a mechanical turbine. The main problems of traditional MHD ... Read More
Time-Domain Model of the Inner Ear to Study Nonlinear Responses
The ear doesn’t solely listen but it also speaks. Sounds formed in the inner ear which are measurable in the outer ear are called Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). Some claim these are produced by the outer hair cells (OHCs), the amplifiers in the inner ear. Our hypothesis is that the OHCs ... Read More
Calculation of Surface Acoustic Waves on a Piezoelectric Substrate using Amazon™ Cloud Computing
In this work, we seek to simulate SAWs for a better understanding and to benchmark the currently available cloud computing possibilities of COMSOL Multiphysics® software. By using the MEMS module we demonstrate 3D models with reduced geometry to achieve principle information about the ... Read More
Simulation of Acoustical Transfer Paths for Active Noise Control
The knowledge of the acoustical transfer paths in active noise control systems is very important for the performance of the system. Unfortunately, simulation is challenging since even simple configurations require comprehensive experience in physics and modeling. Two test setups were ... Read More
Simulation of Horn Driver Response by Direct Combination of CD Frequency Response and Horn FEA
Today a horn driver developing is still time and cost consuming. In addition compression driver behavior depends by the horn profile. In this study is proposed a new technique to model a combination of an existing compression driver and a virtual horn, in order to predict the horn driver ... Read More
Predication of Acoustical Dissipation in Large Irregular Cavities by Helmholtz Solver
This paper introduces an efficient model to describe energy dissipation in acoustic. When the propagation domain has hard wall boundary conditions only viscous and thermal losses happen and are completely described by the so-called Full Linearized Navier-Stokes model (FLNS) which is ... Read More
Implicit Large Eddy Simulations of 2D Flow and Heat Transfer in Thermoacoustic Resonators
The reduction of energy consumption in the building sector (nearly 40% of the energy consumption in Europe) is a real challenge to achieve the objective of the “2020 European climate and energy package”. In recent years, great interest is observed for the Stirling thermoacoustic ... Read More
Multiphysics Modeling of Sound Absorbing Fibrous Materials
Many of fibrous materials are very good sound absorbers, because the acoustic waves, which propagate in air and penetrate a fibrous layer, interact with the fibers so that the wave energy is dissipated. The dissipation is related to some viscous and thermal effects occurring on the micro ... Read More
