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.
Leveraging the mBVD Circuit Model for MEMS Resonator Design
Designing piezoresonators requires high-fidelity multiphysics simulation to capture their complex behavior, but traditional approaches can be computationally demanding. Using an equivalent mBVD circuit enables near-instantaneous simulations while maintaining accuracy.
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®.
Modeling Lined Rock Caverns for Underground Hydrogen Storage
Lined rock caverns can store hydrogen, but their safety depends on interactions between hydrogen gas, rock masses, and structural linings…
Modeling the Beautiful Game: From Ball Design to Power Trivelas
Let’s explore the aerodynamics of the 2026 FIFA World Cup® ball, the Adidas Trionda®, and the trivela technique.
