Industrial fluid systems often involve continuous piping loops. These systems consist of varying lengths of pipes and hoses connecting multiple components together. Fluid resonances can detrimentally affect the operation of fluid systems and components. This work used COMSOL to ... En savoir plus

As a general definition, the presence of any repeated motion after a regular interval of time is known as vibrations. The basic theory of vibrations is described by the system of forces acting on a moveable and deformable body. The natural phenomena existing in the universe such as ... En savoir plus

Some of the most common fluid-structure interaction (FSI) applications in biomedical research include blood flow in the veins and arteries. COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software offers two main multiphysics schemes for FSI problems: partitioned (segregated) and monolithic (fully ... En savoir plus

This article reports the design of a high-power ultrasound system, capable of emitting acoustic radiation at 20kHz with SPL peaks up to 160dB at a distance of up to 1m. The main problem of high power airborne ultrasonic systems lies in the acoustic impedance mismatch between the radiator ... En savoir plus

The objective of this paper is to study the effects of compliance mismatch in a stented artery. COMSOL Multiphysics is used to tackle this challenging problem involving fluid-structure interaction. The particular effects studied in this paper are the radial displacement of the artery ... En savoir plus

For a better understanding of phenomena associated to the appearance of defects in laser welding, a heat and fluid flow model is developed. This study is focused on the modeling of a static laser shot on a sample of steel. This 2D axialsymmetric configuration is used to study phenomena ... En savoir plus

Valves are widely used to control fluid flow in various engineering applications. It’s crucial to study the flow characteristics inside the valve and the fluid-structure interaction between the fluid and valve’s sleeve for design, optimization and improvement of valves. However, because ... En savoir plus

In this conference we have brought together a community that is scientifically diverse in an event that allows for inspiring contacts about the use of COMSOL Multiphysics. It is an event to connect with the Spanish and Portuguese COMSOL Multiphysics users and participate in training ... En savoir plus

Flexible and semi-rigid polyurethane foams are widely used as noise and vibration damping materials. Their porous random microstructure is composed of a visco-elastic frame structure with an interstitial fluid, normally air, filling the voids. The viscoelasticity of the foams is due to ...

Acoustic wave propagation due to the breakage or slippage of reinforced wire in water-filled prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) attracts interest in non-destructive pipe testing. Current practice of acoustic emission (AE) detection and wire-break related events (WRE) recognition ... En savoir plus
