This course covers the physical interfaces and the specific tools of the Acoustics Module added to the main COMSOL Multiphysics installation.
The Acoustics Module is used to model the acoustic behavior of a variety of products and structures, and to study factors such as sound quality and noise reduction performance in devices involving acoustic phenomena.
The module provides specialized acoustic and vibration tools for applications such as loudspeakers, mobile devices, microphones, silencers, sensors, probes, ultrasonic flowmeters and auditoriums.
The course starts with an overview of the basic concepts of acoustics, including constitutive equations and boundary conditions, then explores their implementation through the available physics interfaces and multiphysics couplings.
Specialized acoustics tools include pressure acoustics, elastic waves, ultrasound, thermoviscous and aeroacoustic interfaces, geometric and pipe acoustics, and structure-acoustic interaction.
