Modeling Acoustic–Structure Interaction in Kaplan Turbine Blades Using COMSOL®
Learn how surrounding media can affect structural vibrations and see an alternative to the traditional “added mass” approach for accounting for these effects in simulations.
Wave-Based Room Acoustics Modeling with Accurate Sound-Absorbing Boundary Condition
Understanding room acoustics is key to designing a comfortable indoor environment. Explore how different sound absorption models can affect room acoustics using wave-based, time-domain acoustics simulation.
Modeling the Acoustics of the Liberty Bell in COMSOL Multiphysics®
In this blog post, we use COMSOL Multiphysics® to analyze the acoustics of the famous Liberty Bell and use uncertainty quantification to gain new insights into the material properties and optimal shape.
The Sound of the Giant: Modeling the Acoustics of Estadio Azteca
The legendary Estadio Azteca is one of only two stadiums to have hosted the FIFA World Cup® finals. For fun, we simulate the acoustics of this one-of-a-kind stadium.
Tracking Performance in the Beautiful Game
The official match ball for the 2026 FIFA World Cup® has sensors embedded in it that allow for real-time tracking and analysis. For fun, we take a look at how to model such sensors with COMSOL Multiphysics®.
Reduced-Order Modeling of Ultrasonic Pipe Measurements
A guest blogger from SINTEF demonstrates how they use 2D axisymmetric simplification to reduce computation time for their pulse-echo simulations.
Modeling Surface Acoustic Wave-Induced Streaming in a Droplet
Surface acoustic waves are capable of generating a streaming flow inside a droplet, enabling contactless mixing. Learn how this process can be simulated here.
Simulating the Acoustics of an Open-Plan Office Space
Open-plan offices offer a collaborative workspace, however, they also allow for noise distractions. To improve the acoustical conditions of these spaces, engineers can turn to simulation.
